Nailed it!

As he says: "Don't boo - VOTE!"

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I love her so much ... More off the court than on ... I will be so upset if we lose her in NY, but so angry if she gets the Kaepernick treatment. She deserves better, and I expected more from the W.

You didn't cause it
You can't cure it.
You can't ignore it.
But you can still be
an awesome individual

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥

FLaB/SAM background with screenshot from Sarcoidosis News/Bionews column. Text reads When chronic illness life feels overwhelming, seek joy and support Sixteen medical appointments are just the beginning of my busy month Written by 🦋Kerry Wong | April 17, 2026 FLOAT LIKE A BUTTAHFLY

Between medical stuff, life stuff, and the state of the world today, I am (understandably) #overwhelmed. This week’s #Sarcoidosis News column focuses on what I’m dealing with and what I’m doing about it.

ICE is not about immigration.

ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.

Abolish ICE.

i'll read any article of any length. i'll read any book. but i will not watch a youtube explainer or monologue that is longer than three minutes. write it down buddy

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

Thank you, Allison, for keeping her in our thoughts.

I hate that they keep calling it "misconduct."
That makes it sound like a minor brush, nothing too serious.

This isn't simply improper or unprofessional.
It is abuse.
It is assault.
It is rape.
It is violence.
It is a CRIME.

Leaving their jobs may be a start, but it is certainly not justice.

FLaB/SAM background with quote from Sarcoidosis News column: "When we say 'look at me' with our purple hair and accessories, we're taking advantage of an opportunity. While we have your attention, we can share our experiences: what we feel physically, how we're limited by this disease, how that makes us feel, and what we need from others. And it's an opportunity for our friends, colleagues, and loved ones to say, 'I'm here with you, and I'm here for you." Kerry Wong Sarcoidosis News Columnist

From "The power of purple during #SarcoidosisAwarenessMonth":
