By utterly blowing our pandemic response we wasted the $2.4 trillion spent on stimulus.
It’s gone. And we got nothing for it.

Wear a mask.
Happy Father’s Day.
Kentucky cutting number of polling places for Tuesday’s primary from 3700 to 200

Breonna Taylor’s police report said she had “no injuries” when she in fact had 8 gunshot wounds. And the 3 cops responsible still walk free. WT fucking F?
