Copy Editing Matters, from HHS's release on the new childhood vaccine schedule: All the diseases will still be available to anyone who wants them

Many of you have called or texted to ask my thoughts on the rapidly developing situation in #Venezuela I hope this blog post helps shed light on where our focus should be in the coming days —> doubleclick.blog/the/ REMEMBER: Talk to Venezuelans about Venezuela!

Once again: elections have consequences

Are we at war with Venezuela?!? I don't know. You don't know either. It sure would be nice to have a legitimate Pentagon press corps right about now.

CNN: We have major breaking news. CNN just learning of explosions in Caracas, Venezuela… We have now have CNN's own teams that have personally witnessed explosions.

just thinking about every american media outlet that said something along the lines of "legal experts say there is likely no legal basis for bombing venezuelan boats" and not HEY THIS IS FUCKING ILLEGAL AND AGGRESSIVE

New Year, Same Me. … because consistency, reliability, and loyalty also matters to the people I love. 😉

"It’s important to me to tell our story so people understand the true faces of Medicaid and learn intimately about the people whose lives will be ripped apart by Medicaid cuts." Forever grateful to all the brave families who share their stories publicly, helping put a face on #Medicaid.

Head Start is a 60-year-old US Department of Health and Human Services program that, among other things, creates inclusive and accessible classrooms for children with disabilities. But those applying for funding were told by the Trump regime to avoid the words "inclusion" and "disability." 🤡

These are just a few stories of working families struggling to afford the coverage they need. Without the Affordable Care Act tax credits, millions of Americans will see their healthcare costs skyrocket. www.ft.com/content/beec...

Grateful to @paidleaveforall.bsky.social for shining a light on the ways family caregivers have to squeeze caregiving duties into whatever time they have since we don’t have paid leave in the US, even if that’s an already busy holiday www.fastcompany.com/91448214/for...

“For many of us, there is no out of office. Many of us might have the ability to take time off but it’s no vacation. It’s the invisible labor of a society that doesn’t value care or the people who provide it.” @dhuckelbridge.bsky.social @usatodayopinion.usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This may be one of the best videos DJI has commissioned. Thank you Xiomara and @elenahung.bsky.social for being willing to share your story. The IDEA is essential for disabled kids futures . We must protect and increase its funding. #IDEA50

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

"PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE"

I am a tad obsessed. I simultaneously have a thousand questions about this, and also, I already understand it completely and wholeheartedly.

Hey friends! I lost complete access to my phone. I have a working phone again now, but I lost access to some stuff permanently. If you sent me a Signal, WhatsApp, or text message in the past 3 days (Thu 11/06 to Sun 11/09), I did not receive it and I have no way of receiving it ever. Please resend?

“Without #Medicaid, children like mine don’t get to have a life — don’t get to have quality of life, but don’t get to have a life. If she doesn’t have the support she needs, she’s not medically safe,” — @elenahung.bsky.social virginiaindependentnews.com/health-care/...

*timeline cleanse* I can't get enough of how good autumn looks and feels... 🍂 #NatureTherapy

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS. The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

Friend: Who are you rooting for? Me: I am a Dave Roberts fan. Friend: Wait, you're a Dodgers fan?? Me: No, I am a fan of The Steal.* . * The single greatest moment in all of baseball, forever and ever. #2004WS

Hot damn, that game was quite a ride.

Let's scrap Lean In. The career advice book I want to write for the women: You, Not Them. Working your ass off? Do it for you, not them. Standing up for yourself? GOOD. Do it for your dignity, not their approval. You can't guarantee you'll impress anyone else. Impress yourself.

Those are my emotional support exclamation marks in every email I send.

“The long history of trying to ‘cure’ or eliminate autism has been a history of terrible abuse and dangerous sham treatments." I spoke to @autisticadvocacy.org's Greg Robinson and @drstevenkapp.bsky.social about the awful autism presser yesterday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's me. I am Claudia. 🫠

“Autistic ppl are a natural part of the human experience & society needs to affirm the value of ppl—even with significant disabilities. I don’t think eugenics is ethical or warranted in science or research.” @drstevenkapp.bsky.social to @juliametraux.bsky.social: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tylenol does not cause autism. Autistic kids do not need to be cured. Okay thanks bye.
