25% reduction in all cause mortality over 4 years for those vaccinated against covid, huge study. Wow, this almost suggests covid is implicated in an unbelievable number of deaths. And that vaccinated people should wear respirators if they want to remain abled.

"What’s better: masking, washing your hands, social distance, or something else?" There’s no perfect way to prevent all viruses, especially as case rates are high in the winter. Layering your protection is the best way to protect yourself and others!

So, from now on: Do your own taxes and let the IRS proofread them for you. Save yourself hundreds in CPA fees.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies. I encourage you to join — and shop small.

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water. Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state. It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

To recap: •Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually •Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses •The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45% 1/2

President Donald Trump, friend of convicted pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has demanded the death of his political opponents. If that one sentence isn’t enough to condemn, remove, convict, then there’s no crime that would enable Republicans to grow a spine and uphold their oath.

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.

People moan about AI taking people’s jobs, so interact and keep demand high for in person jobs - Go to the post office when you need to renew/post/register things - Go to the bank and get money out - Go to the shops and spend money, stop buying online - Go use public transport - Go to the library

Someone has put together a VERY thorough list of resources for people in the Portland area who need food. For those who have enough to share, please consider putting your time and/or money somewhere. For those who need help, here are places to get it.

Listen, you'll never convince me that people abuse benefits line SNAP and MEDICAID and housing assistance Because I believe things like food and housing and healthcare should be free. For everyone. Including the people who can afford to pay for it.

Further, starting now our motto should be "I didn't see shit". You see a mom ringing up formula as a can of beans? No you didn't. See someone scan only one box of diapers? Nothing to see here. I'm certainly not advocating for theft, but I am advocating for snitches to get stitches. 🤐

This (moderate) level of racial competency is VERY rare for someone of this demo; white folks should’ve been listening to and learning from people like this for decades. Sadly, it’s too late to dismantle racism, now. Racism has won. White America chose it instead of a hyper-qualified Black Woman. 🙁
