Mother Fletcher has passed. Mrs. Fletcher was the oldest known survivor of the Tulsa race massacre and spent years, up until her death, fighting for reparations for the injustice she endured. Living history has passed on. Let’s not forget her legacy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_F...

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.” We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

A few of us in here have said this and I want to reiterate it: Donate to your local food banks. Please if you can also be donating pet food.

I don't think people realize what an immediate impact this is going to have on outbreak response and containment.

This Is Fascism

It is difficult for me to express how disastrous this is.

Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall💚

If you saw the clip, watch the whole 12 minutes. This is it. Electeds—everyone around Pritzker is knowingly putting themselves at risk—meeting the moment. It’s not glib, it’s not a meme, it’s clear-eyed, brave, & necessary. www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable. For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

The evil that men do lives after them

Thank you to you, the people! Your fight is showing up! You’ve raised your voices & concerns to the extent that some members have decided to listen to you! Keep learning, educating, & speaking, AND WE WILL ALL come out better & stronger!

The Big Ugly Bill is trash! But it isn’t law—yet. It still has to be passed in the House. Flood the phone lines! Tell your Representative: #VoteHellNo ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

This is utterly vile. Loomer is calling for ethnic cleansing and we need to say so, every single day, and stand in the way of this.

Unfortunately, I’m afraid #AlligatorAuschwitz is a helluva lot more accurate than Alligator Alcatraz! 🇺🇸 We’re seeing a total lack of both #DueProcess & basic #HumanRights, here! 🇺🇸 #FiftyFiftyOne #Protest

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Trump’s budget bill is a disaster for public health. It’s the biggest cut to health care in history. 12 million people will lose health insurance. Hundreds of hospitals will close. 1 in 4 nursing homes will close. Millions more families won’t have enough food.

Senate Republicans just voted to take healthcare away from 17 million Americans to fund more tax cuts for billionaires. But the fight isn’t over. Trump’s Tax Scam now moves to the House & many Republicans aren’t happy with the Senate changes. Call your representative: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

WATCH — @underwood.house.gov : “Elderly will lose Medicaid. Nursing homes will close. What are people supposed to do? They don’t care… there’s no way to sugarcoat it - it will be devastating for our communities.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.

“The bill’s process for selling off lands runs at breakneck speed, demanding the nomination of tracts within 30 days, then every 60 days until the arbitrary multi-million-acre goal is met, all without hearings, debate or public input.”

Please- if you are able to donate organs, consider doing so. You literally are saving a life! Also, please support the science that allows these medical “miracles”.

Budgets show what a country values. With their plan, Republicans say they value billionaires over our babies, our seniors, and everyone else. But this fight isn’t over. Raise your voice and say that billionaires can damn well pay their fair share so everyone else gets a chance.

The cruelty is the point.

Exactly….

Gather around kids!! Tell these fuckers that you want “Updated Sub-Lineage Covid Vaccines” or “Updated Covid Vaccines” or That it’s patriotic to vaxx & be heathy. We have till Friday at 11:59 to make comments on the shit they dropped today. This is on purpose. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Takes five seconds, and might mean you can still get COVID boosters.

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Dear Congress, Libraries are the place we all belong. The place where Mister Rogers’ neighbors collide at the library to help one another. We come together to embrace library joy. What good is the world without libraries and museums? ❤️‍🩹 Call, email Congress! Help libraries & museums! We need you 💛

Watching Jurassic Park, where a computer nerd with a debt problem and delusions of grandeur tears down all the safety systems, with no understanding of the consequences, so he can better facilitate his planned espionage and theft.

The thing about scientific research is that it’s one of the few national investments that’s a clear public good even if you entirely discount the actual ostensible point of it.

Understand this: by trying to gut Medicaid, the House GOP is targeting seniors in nursing homes, kids with disabilities, and low-income workers who can’t get health coverage from their jobs. All so the GOP can slash taxes for millionaires, billionaires, and billionaire corporations.

It would cost $160M per year to retrofit EVERY public K-12 classroom in the US with a Corsi-Rosenthal Box (and students could learn by helping to build them). Estimate includes capital cost, filter replacement, duct tape and electricity, w/ 3-year average. More ... www.today.com/health/cold-...
