1/3 The CEOs of two major NYC hospital systems rake in over $16M and $26M per year 💸 Meanwhile, nearly 15,000 nurses are walking off the job--demanding safe staffing, fair pay, and protection from workplace violence. This is standing up for dignity.

It is not lost on me that the same people bitching about needing to vet illegal immigrants don’t give a fuck about who they’re hiring to enforce immigration law.

1/2 CDC family 💚 These mass firings have been devastating. This video is a reminder that the fight is far from over and that these actions are still being challenged in court. People are still standing up and pushing back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TNC...

2/2 Important shift: judges are forcing agencies to hand over RIF and reorg plans--and senior-level internal materials--instead of hiding behind “internal” labels. That kind of scrutiny is rare. ⚖️ It won’t undo a RIF overnight, but accountability is still being fought for.

This is new ACIP member Adam Urato. Anyone tweeting about the dangers of thalidomide in pregnancy needs to acknowledge the fact that IT WAS NEVER FDA APPROVED IN THE US!

If someone in a crowd where you were yelled out “pedophile protector,” would you automatically assume they were talking to you? Because I sure wouldn’t. I’d be looking around for who they meant.

Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’ Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no. Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough. So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.' ‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’ 🧵⬇️

We are up against a murderous fascist regime, an unscrupulous oligarchy, a corrupted DOJ, a cowardly Congress and a supine SCOTUS. We have lost our guard rails, from co-equal branches to the fourth estate. It’s a lot. It’s past time to put all our petty differences aside and band together. …

Liar liar, hair on fire.

This administration excels at finding different ways to harm our children. Assaulting and kidnapping them joins a long list -- bringing back deadly diseases like measles, slashing education funding, supporting Twitter's CSAM, and, of course, protecting the president's pedophile sex trafficker pals.

How to traumatise and frighten an entire generation of children 🤬🤬

Markey: Vance said that he was just doing his job. Murdering a young mother and orphaning her child is not a job. It is a crime

HOT DAMN: Gen Z teens are reportedly exposing the identity of their ICE agent dads on TikTok… BOOM! 💥 Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

A Ford worker yelled “pedophile protector” to Trump, who then showed him the finger and seems to have said f u, based on media reporting.

Is this POTUS decorum?

“I’ve had hotel staff sending post-it notes, bar staff sending DHS IDs, and loads of people saying their neighbour is an agent,” Skinner said.

The new host of the CBS Evening News interviewed Trump for 13 minutes. No questions about election denialism or subverting the midterms. Only pushback was that he would have gotten his job even if Trump lost. I started Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Maxwell Frost: This isn't deportation. This is kidnapping! We call it what it is not to be hyperbolic, not to make something out of nothing. But to be honest about what we see with our very eyes. eyes. And then this administration wants to lie to us about what we saw on that video!

ICE and CBP are not above the law. Know your rights so you can use them.

Good morning #Minterland frens! Happy Tuesday. I hope the tide is starting to turn. Now if we can get Washington on board, we can make some progress? Hopefully soon. Hang in there. Let’s not forget to live. There are many things to be thankful for. Be grateful for what you have. And smile! First? ☕️

If you can think of a better way to spend your Friday night I'd like to hear it!

Wow. Russia.

Probably true. And security will need to be increased. Trump is turning Americans into targets, at home and abroad.

Orihiv, once a cozy town of 15,000 people, stood proud for 250 years until russia came to destroy it.

This is a Nova Poshta terminal near Kharkiv that was bombed by Russia last night. Four people were killed. Deepest condolences.
