Tonight’s s☀️n s e t did not disappoint #Wisconsin #StormHour

Going to avoid reposting the WH’s stmt for Child Abuse Prevention Month instead say: Every child deserves to grow up safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Affirming care helps trans youth thrive. Let’s lead with compassion, facts, and a shared commitment to every kid’s well-being.

1. Tariffs on imported goods are a tax paid by AMERICANS. 2. Trade deficits don't mean Americans are being taken advantage of. 3. These aren't reciprocal tariffs. This is destructive an irrational economic policy because Trump is stupid yet in charge. #reeciecolbertshow youtube.com/shorts/jaLto...

Spring is in the air . . . and thank YOU #Wisconsin for voting for #SusanCrawford 🫶🏽❤️🫶🏽

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

This is what happens when people speak up.

Dems would do well to exploit this

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Sen. @corybooker has committed to filibustering the business of the Senate to bring attention to the lawlessness of the Trump Administration until he can no longer stand or speak. The least we can do is keep him company for awhile. Watching www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

National security is not a joke—but the irresponsible attempts of Trump’s top officials to evade responsibility for a major security breach have become so surreal that they’re comical, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily. theatln.tc/OHNWV6ht

19,000 people have died from the flu this year. 86 kids and at least 9 had influenza associated encephalitis (brain inflammation) Vaccinated kids are 64-78% less likely to be admitted. It’s not too late to get your child and yourself the influenza vaccine!

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Not so fun facts about measles 🦠 one of, if not the most contagious viral infection 🦠one person can infect up to 18 others 🦠can be deadly 🦠can have late effect of a deadly & progressive brain disorder Funnest fact about measles 💉two doses of the vaccine is 97% protective against infection

This needs to be amplified.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

USDA suspends “a college scholarship program for students from rural and underserved backgrounds who attend HBCUs.” This program sought to redress past harms done to Black farmers such as land theft, USDA discrimination, racist inheritance laws, broken government promises (40 acres & a mule) etc.

Just a reminder that the HPV vaccine literally PREVENTS CANCER and the series can be started as early as 9 years of age.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."  —FDR, 1936

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Was in NOLA this week for work - LOVED seeing artists’ work projected on buildings in the French Quarter!

Moment of serenity . . . ☀️ #Wisconsin @stormhour.bsky.social

Attending the Black Men’s Brain Health Conference #BMBH2025 in NOLA. SO AMAZING to reconnect with Dr.Monica Rivera-Mindt AND meet a member of ourTwitter/now Bluesky #FootballFamily IRL - Dr. Maurice Sholas! 🫶🏽♥️🫶🏽

Within hours, today’s tragedy in DC turned political, crass, and full of finger-pointing. I can’t get over the fact that kids like mine and their parents died. In an instant, families have been tragically & irreversibly devastated. Why can’t we be a country that pauses to grieve? #dc #aa #dca

Last night’s ☀️set . . .

There are over 700,000 married same-sex couples in the US. Many of us are raising families. Also working hard for America & our communities. Take away our rights and many of us will outright leave. Discrimination makes our country weaker. #lgbt #lgbtq www.newsweek.com/supreme-cour...

Amid chaos after federal grants were frozen, know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more Are we really halting this? #NIH #MedSky

I would imagine the amount of money being help up by this federal “pause” are staggering and assume even Senators and governors in red states would be concerned about the economic implications for their states.

Remember that January 20th 2025 is Martin Luther King Jr Day.. A day of service. Let's not be consumed by any other events of the day and let's focus on service to those less fortunate.

Everyone is harmed by the current status quo in this country - which puts profits over people, is replete w/ -isms and -phobias, and lacks a socials safety net and health care for all. Black, Indigenous and other marginalized groups moreso but we are *all* harmed by it.

✨A wonderful memory that I hadn’t recalled in a while, but which came back to me thinking about this alumni profile for which I’m grateful - is that as a young Black woman computer science major, there were very few of us. There were few women in general, in fact- this was the mid-late 90s.

Exciting news that Gilead will be testing a once-a-year injection of lenacapavir for HIV PrEP. Again, its ability to reach its full potential, if found effective, will be in ensuring access, especially to those communities and countries most burdened by HIV. www.statnews.com/2024/12/11/h...

I cannot stop thinking about how Daniel Petty murdered Jordan with his bear hands/arms. Petty didn’t murder Jordan Neely because he was scared of him. Petty murdered Jordan because he could. Because Jordan, a Black, disabled, unhoused man was considered “discardable”.
