If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

I had a my new assistant in my office today. Her typing skills need work, but she tries best.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has issued an executive order to ensure COVID vaccines are accessible to everyone and insurers continue to cover them.

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

For the people in the back, bigotry is not an opinion…

Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams says he will get the updated COVID vaccine to protect himself, his community, & to model trust in public health. buff.ly/wTvEHIW COVID vaccination reduces risk of: - severe disease, - Long COVID - transmission to others #medsky #pedsky 🛟😷

A few months ago Kirk said: "It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment". I don’t celebrate murder, but nor do I feel even a drop of sadness at his passing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Even if you mask nowhere else please mask when going to the pharmacy right now. And remember to bend the nose bar around the curve of your nose to get a secure fit that will filter the air.

For the love of g-d when you go to get vaccinated wear a mask. There are ppl who know themselves to be extremely vulnerable to viral infections who are literally putting off getting the Covid vax they need because busy drugstores full of unmasked faces is too much of a covid exposure risk for them.

He never counted on Canadian patriotism. He didn't realize we know tariffs & trade. He didn't count on Canadians resisting his BS. He didn't think we had economic cards to play. He sure as fuck didn't see Elbows Up! He didn't see us not travelling there. Nor buying squat of theirs. He didn't see.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

This song remains incredibly relevant in 2025. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes ft Teddy Pendergrass performing "wake up everybody"

A few years in, a CDC drowning prevention program was ready to share its findings on how to mitigate the leading cause of death among young children. Then the administration terminated that staff.

US pediatric group breaks with federal policy, recommends COVID vaccines for young children… www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

You tell ‘em, Gavin!

I’m an American living in Canada. If anyone has any contacts, I would gladly do anything I can to make this happen!

So, my back-to-school nightmares have already started. Yay. 😪

Seeing an awful lot of people sick with Covid right now. Many saying “Covid is back”. It never left. That’s why some of us are still advocating for mitigations. Every infection is a dice roll with disability. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

RFK Jr has been a liar for as long as I can remember.

Let them eat cake.

Occasional reminder that transgender women in public toilets are not the greatest risk to women. It’s just men. Regular men. Every day men. The man next door. Husbands. Fathers. Partners. Neighbours. POLICE MEN. Violent, aggressive murderous men.

A lot of people need to hear this

“It is those of us who were asked, how many lives would you trade for indoor dining and said…0. Those of us who were asked, how long will you care for your neighbor and said, I always will. Those of us who were told, you don’t have to ❤️ anyone, not anymore, and said, that’s what makes me a radical.”

Love must prevail.

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC. But no City agency has posted it on this platform. Please help spread the word. “If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground.”

"The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government and economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women."  —FDR, 1932

Sometimes reality is scary, we can’t ignore it much longer. #GetLoud #Covid #MaskUp #LongCovid #LongCovidKids

This is the consequences when we chose the wrong direction.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

Our water infrastructure is a wreck, our electricity infrastructure is a wreck, and yet the government act like you've deliberately run over their dog if you have the temerity to suggest that maybe we should chill on building data centres www.thejournal.ie/portlaoise-h...

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

No matter where you are in your journey, we are here for you. 🏳️‍🌈

Don’t tell me there’s no money for health care, clean water, or rural broadband when we’re handing out tax cuts to billionaires and blowing billions on private prisons. America’s not broke—its priorities are fucked.

So dang tired today. I'm dragging. #Spoonie #Disability #NEISvoid (spoon explanation in alt text)

Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift. ~Robin Wall Kimmerer 🕉️ #ClassicMono #Mammals 🦌🌿

We need robust networks of community care Adverse weather events are only getting worse, now is the time to think about the disabled people in your life Can they evacuate in an emergency? Are they reliant on medical devices that require electricity? Can they get their medicine?
