Imagine being eight years old and having to translate your parents’ arrest to masked feds. Cruel and disgusting spectacle organized for the entertainment of the wealthiest people on earth.

The FTC has sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster, alleging that the companies worked with scalpers. Ticketmaster allegedly let a few brokers have thousands of accounts and buy hundreds of thousands of tickets, often for resale. This made it impossible for fans to get fair prices.

Me: “A 100% tariff on pharmaceuticals will put disabled lives at risk” Him: “It’ll lead to cheaper drugs in the long run” Me: “And in the short term? What happens to those who can’t afford their meds?” Him: “I guess they die.” This is what happens when eugenics is normalized.

This is why I refuse to shut up about preventing repeat infections. We don’t have to wait 30 years before collectively going “wow wtf were we doing” PLENTY OF US ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU NOW. By the time you catch covid for your final time, I promise you’ll wish you’d listened.
