Making your summer travel plans? Boycott Russia just reported that Marriott has announced it is suspending operations in Russia.

Accor, InterContinental (Holiday Inn and more) and Radisson are still giving tax money to Putin.

Check before making reservations that where you are staying is not owned by one of these corporations. Not one penny for Putin!

If the police were unwilling to give up their lives to save a classroom full of children while said children’s teachers were willing to do so and did - maybe it’s time to have a serious discussion about how tax dollars are allocated.

A whole lot of sites are down in the past hour, including the bird and Amazon. Anyone have any insights?

In 1994, a bill was signed by Bill Clinton that banned assault weapons. Mass shootings went down 43%.
In 2004, when a Republican controlled congress let the bill lapse, shootings went up 239%.'

Just to put things into stark perspective, 400+ children are killed by guns in the US *per month*.

In three months of war, has reported ~240 children have been killed.

In one month ~2x more kids are killed by guns in the US than in 3 months of a country being actively shelled on a daily basis!

Conservative complain about a "war on guns"... you know what? Maybe that isn't such a bad idea.

If you haven't gone Pro yet, you definitely should.

So, Ukraine is fighting ferociously against Russia for themselves and the rest of the world, but now the orcs are threatening nuclear weapons. Cult45 is trying to turn the US into Gilead, while completely ignoring the latest racist pos who shot up a grocery store. Another day in America.

But holy fucking hell - Amber and Johhny, amiright?

"What's this 500 error all about!?"

Our host won't say so, but these errors are hugs. They mean that he's at work on the backend making things better for all of us.

If you see them, feel loved and give CoSo a few minutes to reboot. They tend to pass very quickly. 👍

"Today’s Republican Party is not about equal rights and opportunity, as Lincoln’s party was. It is not about using the government to protect ordinary people, as Theodore Roosevelt’s party was. It is not even about advancing the ability of businesses to do as they deem best, as Ronald Reagan’s party was. The modern Republican Party is about using the power of the government to enforce the beliefs of a radical minority on the majority of Americans."

Saw a version of this posted here some time back. Can't remember from whom:

Every day, an old man would stop by a news stand in Russia, pick up a newspaper, check the front page, put it down, and move on. One day, the news stand vendor asked him, "what are you looking for?"

"Obituary," the old man replied.

The vendor, perplexed, asked the old man, "you know obituaries are inside the paper, right?"

To which the old man responded, "...not the one I'm looking for."

Can we just stick Rand Paul in a closet somewhere until the important work gets done? This "look at me! look at me!" bs could cost lives.
