Covid-19 Blues I'm standing six feet away from you. The air between us is thick with pathogens. And yet, I reach out to draw you close. Death be damned. --Mark Helm

Mr. Biden, you just ended one endless war, only to find yourself in a 2nd endless war — a war that has already killed 675,000 Americans. The Covid War. Yesterday u said you’re ending that one too. Mandatory vaccinations! YES! The unvaccinated are killing us. BRAVO, Mr. President!

Joy Reid on fire tonight! Every issue, every panel, amazingly important. Perfect explanations. Maybe it will exist on you tube. Still a third left. MSNBC.

Everybody hear this? We are suggesting record Joy Reid tonight. The show really explained what’s going on. On several fronts.

Progress. Stills was the massive talent in that band musically. Neil was the best songwriter.

Saw Stills yesterday …we both showed for Mike Finnigan’s memorial …..hugged him …felt good …I understand Neil and I feel kind of sorry for Graham but I still love Stills ….he changed my life …played so well …swung so hard …wrote so strong

Right on Zak ….you knew him better than anyone out there …I loved him ….stunned by how smart …how fast he was

Dad, seven years ago today you passed on. The joy and inspiration you brought to the world carries on in your legacy and in your family, friends, and fans you so loved. You lived to bring laughter and to help others. I will be celebrating your memory today. Love you forever.

Amazingly touching…

Agreed. These Trump voters are our friends, neighbors, family members... and, yes, even spouses.

I thought, “He’s in hospital for a few days maybe I can relax de stress a bit till he’s back at WH.” Wrong! The man can’t bare not being on tv for a second. Even while currently having the plague he’s goes on a joyride to wave at fans potentially infecting ppl who work for him.

You can argue (wrongly) that the risk to others is small. Just as you can argue (wrongly) that the risk to others from drunk driving is small. What you can NOT argue (as many right wing idiots in effect do) is that personal liberty is the only consideration that matters.


Mark W. Helm reposted

You can argue over whether masks, handwashing, banning groups etc are effective. What you can NOT argue is that you are personally entitled to take the risk as a matter of individual liberty. You risk other lives as well as your own. It’s just elementary epidemiology.


Not Hitler, no. At least not yet. I mean, Hitler wasn’t even HITLER in the beginning. Let’s not give Trump more time to become something even more dangerous and hateful.
