It’s OFFICIAL: US has declared monkeypox a public health emergency 🆘
Biden administration declares monkeypox a public health emergency
@nursefrombirth 'nuff said.
And 'cause of the shortage, can't get shots here yet.

I just wanna say, the big takeaway for me in the Gizmodo article today is the good things he noted about the community - and that's you guys, and it's on you guys. So, thank YOU guys.
I've said it before... I just built the sandbox, it's you guys that craft the sandcastles.
Keep being awesome. 👊
And for those who don't know what NEOM is - I believe it's being backed by Saudi Prince MBS, if I'm not mistaken.
City.... or prison? Seems like dystopian hell continues to creep closer.
[Warning: Language] Apologies if this has already been posted... but if it has, it's probably worth a second watch! Jon Stewart is the fucking man!

Stewart: Senate is where accountability goes to die. They’re never losing their jobs. Pat Toomey didn’t lose his job, he’s walking away. God knows what pot of gold he’s stepping into to lobby this government to shit on more people
Know what's beginning to set me off 'bout as much as another SCOTUS decision? The bloody wankers with the whole "Well, what have you done except complain?"
What have *I* done? MFers, not only do I vote, I spent more than 24 years defending your friggin' right to try and be edgy on Twit-gram-snap-tok, or whatever social thing is the latest craze.
Pretty sure I've dang welled earned my curmudgeon status, FFS.
Y'all have a good holiday - and be safe with the bang-booms. 🎆
Hard to type anything without my anger spilling out, so just gonna leave this here... #cosomusic

you can both fight as hard as possible - donating, supporting others to access voting, staffing polls, campaigning for those who'll uphold democracy & vote yourself while at the same time informing & learning more about your options if nov goes to hell.
peeps leave countries all the time. you're not req'd to stay in a bad situation if you've tried your best, done what you can & voted. you're not req'd to suffer b/c of guilt or misplaced loyalty. save yourself & your family if you can.
@th3j35t3r Except yesterday they overruled states rights when it comes to gun rights. The lack of consistency is astounding, and points directly to dark money backers & the desire for control (imo).
My heart hurts. Twenty years ago I deployed to Afghanistan for the 1st time, to fight an extremist menace that had killed more than 3000 of my countrymen and women. Two decades later, I find myself wondering how many lives today’s extremist SCOTUS decision will cost?
And don’t get me started on the Dems trying to use this as a rallying cry to “just vote in November!” You know what? We’ve tried that. And you’ve done Jack & Shit with the opportunity.
We're back.
And I still like tatertots.

Heads up people! Crazy day. We are monitoring server loads and are working to expand resources as necessary. Apologies for any minor outages. Growing pains ya'll.
Welcome to everyone who made it.
👍
@mcfate @WeThePeople Dang, now my brain is running away with variations on how half the country is rationally irrational, and it's probably time for a Friday drink.

@WeThePeople Wonder if DOJ is trying to get him to flip? @mcfate probably has a better take then I, though.
@VelvetDuchess That would be awesome - but if he pulls through, I think he's firmly in the IDGAF camp, and won't resign.
And the Dems are so weak they probably won't even call Ginni before the 1/6 committee, let alone start impeachment proceedings. 😒
If he doesn't make it though, as @mayoisspicyy said on the birb:
"If Justice Thomas doesn't make it, we should respectfully wait as long as Republicans did when they replaced Ruth Bader Ginsburg."
