In England, "booster shot" is spelled "borchestershire shot."

The professor tells me
that her students
are all sick
these days she lectures
to a half empty room
and those few students
who come to class
just sit there coughing
in a tired voice she tells me
the pandemic is over
yes, it’s all over her campus.

“Roberts and Kavanaugh are shrewd political operatives who have dedicated decades of their personal and professional lives to electing Republicans. They are not afraid to play the long game.”

#US politics is complicated.

#Biden has been #US President since only 2021.

Please do not spread #disinformation saying Biden has ignored this conflict "for years & years & years," & that "makes him #complicit"

Here's truth about #Hamas ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111379041814593155

Hamas refused to participate in #OsloPeaceProcess & every subsequent attempt

It does NOT represent Greater #Palestine & #WestBank

Criticism of #Israel without condemning Hamas isn't serious

The Republican Party does not know how to govern.

They know how to make ransom demands.

They know how to feed the rich.

They know how to collapse the separation of church and state.

They know how to turn the nation into an unregulated shooting gallery.

They know up to make stuff up and lie from morning ‘til night and demand minority authoritarian rule.

But governing is way out of their wheelhouse.

@RickiTarr No worries: I’d prefer to bialy I can be!

GOP MOC continue to enable #TFG *complicit in the US' longest political crime spree.

FEC COM Weintraub said her Republican colleagues have effectively put #TFG in a category by himself by refusing to investigate at least 28 instances where the agency’s prof. staff determined that he or his family likely violated regs. At least 58 instances where the FEC heard allegations against him, 28 *staff at the OGC determined: a criminal investigation was warranted.
