Under the watchful eye of the fascist anti-vaxx regime, covid boosters are going to be restricted to those 65 and over or with “preconditions”.

Everyone needs the right to access Covid vaccines.

It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling. And the vaccines are an important tool to keep folks out of hospital.

There’s three days left to have your say!

These folk respond to force & mass public outcry, so make your voice heard!

Just so glad to be registering my 4 year old Chevy Bolt EV in a red state 🙄 where it's now an extra $150 because I'm not paying gas tax (total of $660 registration fee for the year!)...

Except with the same mileage at 20mpg (yes, like a large SUV), I would have only paid about $90 in gas taxes. Republican states are just punishing EV owners now for the "luxury.'
*sigh*
