Release the un-redacted Epstein files. Investigate if Trump had Epstein killed. Release Jack Smith's deposition. Lock up the war criminals. Imprison the felon. Abolish ICE.

Happy Winter Solstice!

The Trump administration is trying to cut off access to gender affirming care. I am with the transgender and nonbinary community in this moment of anger and fear. We cannot, and will not, let this stand.

A traveller cannot tell by sight whether a person is disabled. People use wheelchairs because they can walk, but only for short distances; because they can walk, but it's painful; because they can stand, but not walk. They're still disabled.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Does anyone know- is this for foreign tourists only, or for anyone coming into the US - as in, does this includes American citizens entering the US too? I think it’s a BS policy and absolute invasion of privacy either way, just wondering what to expect the next time I go back to visit family.

FUCKING. THIS. People don't fake this shit. They accept these shitty diagnoses because nothing else fits. And they deal with it. And try to make the best of it. #disabled #actuallydisabled #disability #invisibledisability #eds #heds #zebrastrong #fibromyalgia #pots

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

6/6 This is climate change in real time 🌍 -- not just stronger storms, but hospitals in crisis, disease risks rising, and health workers stretched to the edge. Public health isn’t separate from climate resilience -- it is climate resilience. www.paho.org/sites/defaul...

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Health Canada puts out guidelines recommending N95s and clean indoor air! Let’s do this! Yes it’s overdue, and no it doesn’t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air. www.canada.ca/content/dam/...

You can declare yourself against “universal public masking”, but that means I can declare you a dick. Long COVID absolutely wrecked my shit because people just couldn’t see themselves considering the health of others. Knowing you’re comfortable with that tells me everything I need to know.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

#MythBustingMonday “Vaccines contain dangerous and toxic ingredients.” This one never dies, so let’s tackle it properly. Yes, vaccines contain multiple components but context, chemistry, and dose matter. Vaccine ingredients have been studied for decades, across trials and billions of doses. A 🧵

The regime fired everyone involved in the funding and administration of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). They’re letting measles and other infectious and disabling diseases run rampant, and then removing disability support. It’s eugenics and they aren’t even hiding it.

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.
