An important lesson for clinicians and caregivers, where you find the humanity you will find light. People with dementia have the same basic joys and fears as the rest of us. Humor, love, nostalgia, beauty are powerful tools.

Help raise awareness about the specifics of Trump’s Tax Scam by using our social toolkit. When people know what’s in the GOP’s dangerous reconciliation bill, they overwhelmingly oppose it — but a lot of people still aren’t aware of the details. We need to change that: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/trum...

CNN data chief hits Trump with some "terrible, terrible, terrible" new numbers on the BBB "Enten shared five recent polls that show the bill is underwater by between 19 and 29 points." www.huffpost.com/entry/harry-...

If Trump's DEFUND AMERICA ACT OF 2025 passes today, it'll go down as the biggest middle finger the government could ever give you When hospitals close and your bills go up, just know your REPUB Senator knew it would happen AND could've stopped it, but were too afraid of TRUMP DISGRACE!

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1974...

This is a no-brainer. @schumer.senate.gov must do everything in his power to delay and disrupt the upcoming vote on Trump’s Tax Scam. Tell your Democratic senator to make this vote as painful as possible for the GOP: indivisible.org/resource/cal... For NY residents: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Don't forget the aim of cutting services and workers - it isn't to "cut fraud and waste". It is to make the services unsustainable to justify privatizing them. Which means your taxes go to pad the bottom line of for profit companies.

Fascists want normal people to feel alone. They want us all to feel at their mercy. But what #handsoff demonstrated is that we are not mere victims of political events. Democracy is a participatory sport, and we are active participants.

This Trump/El Salvador prison situation has turned into a massive, lawless debacle that’s locked up people without a shred of evidence they’ve committed a crime. THIS IS THUGGERY that should NOT be swept under the rug, because this could happen to ANY of us. Time to raise our voices!!!!!!

Greg Abbott doesn’t like the fact that I’m going to Congress to give Donald Trump hell!

a propos of all these crank leftists complaining that there wasn't enough property damage yesterday, dusting off my essay about the civil rights movement (and how they won without burning down any walmarts) www.liberalcurrents.com/how-to-win-a...

In Gov. Newsom's first public comments on the return-to-office order, he said struggling downtown biz, a lack of mentorship and social media's influence played into his decision to call state workers back to offices. Listen to his comments (timestamped) here: youtu.be/LpMC6yHOV_4?...

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Cory Booker showing Chuck Schumer how to tell the people you hear them.

Corey Booker over 22 hours and still going Every Democrat Senator should continue the filibuster Then, America needs to take to the streets and protest this fascist government and stop this shit !!!

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

An elderly holocaust survivor confronts ICE and Tom Homan. His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush. #MomSky

Global child mortality has fallen by about 60% in the last 30 years.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free.   - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks.   - All workers get pensions.

BREAKING: We, @aclu.org and CLEAR are joining Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team after ICE unlawfully arrested and detained her in retaliation for her political speech. Speaking out against a war, a policy, or a government is not a crime. The government must immediately release Ms. Öztürk.

cross-posting: if you have an iPhone, you may have pressed the power button 5x before. the phone vibrates briefly, you get options to call emergency services, power off, etc... this kicks the phone out of this AFU state. you can do it with the phone in your pocket. you should practice doing it

In case you missed it with everything else going on: yesterday Senate Republicans voted to bring back overdraft fees. Everything Republicans do is to make corporations and banks richer at your expense.

If you haven't seen, this is the op-ed cowritten by Rumeysa Ozturk. www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024...

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

I’ve read several articles today referring to RFK Jr. or Geier as vaccine “skeptics”. I again beg the media to STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION. They are not skeptics. They are lying, grifting, unqualified frauds who are promoting a conspiracy. “Conspiracy theorists” would be much more accurate.

This week in Washington: national security officials leaked war plans authorized by the President who declared "no more wars", ICE kidnapped an international student off the street, and further cuts have been made to cancer research. It has been 66 days...

...then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me - Pastor Martin Niemöller

The GOP collective can spare us the pearl clutching & manufactured outrage. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Laura Loomer, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert have said (and continue to say) far worse than anything Jasmine Crockett has EVER espoused... but they have the complexion for protection. 😒
