The measles vaccine is 97% effective after two doses. 🦠 Access to vaccines is a human right — and it saves lives. ⚖️👩🏼‍⚕️ (Source: CDC, WHO) #RightToHealth #VaccinesWork #Measles

A masked militia assaulting and arresting opposition politicians for exercising their legal right to access an unlawful prison camp. Welcome to America in 2025.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Why does the Texas Legislature want to control women’s pregnancies when they are outraged by a man being forced to take a measles vaccine?🤷🏻‍♀️ #Txlege

This dramatic shift is largely due to growing public frustration in Florida over Ron DeSantis’s policies and his failure to do anything about rising homeowner insurance rates.

You can! We can!

Genuine question: why do we argue with people on the internet? It’s like an addiction…

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Dark Money on HBO explains how we ended up in this fascist hell. Even describing meetings with Scalia on how to overturn Roe.

The spread of measles in the Southwest now constitutes the largest single outbreak since the U.S. declared the disease eliminated in 2000, federal scientists told state officials in a meeting on Monday.

Happy Earth Day. Do your part to take care of her!

wtf??

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

In November, we started planning and saving for a garden and chickens. We hope to feed our family and donate to the local food bank when we can. As much as I hope we don’t see a depression, I won’t hold my breath. #victorygarden #BYC #chickens

Congress wants to pass a federal concealed carry law. Healthcare workers, teachers, how do you think this will affect you?!? Call your reps! #healthcare #nurse #teach #gunreform #congress

Apparently many countries are warning that their citizens shouldn’t visit the US as many travelers have been detained for weeks www.thedailybeast.com/german-touri...

Everyone in New York was angry over prison conditions for workers, yet they are silent on the $6 million Trump gave El Salvador to house prisoners. Where is the outrage? The money could have been used to pay American prison workers…

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it. “We liked it over here,” one said.

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.

Schumer is done as Senate minority leader. It’s only a matter of time.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I called Chuck Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand this morning and left voicemails, to vote no. I’m so angry with them. Time for new senators here in NY.

Epic idea

Backyard Chicks. Hope to feed my family and give some to the food bank. #backyardchickens

Elon Musk calls Americans who rely on federal benefits "PARASITES" and Social Security a "Ponzi scheme." But right now, if you make around $160,000 a year, you pay the SAME amount into Social Security each year as a billionaire like Elon.

I don’t understand why ALL the Democrats didn’t walk out of that speech at the same time. In sports, in politics, in life, the only way a team wins is coordination which the Democrats can’t seem to master.

Every single Democrats needs to get off their ass and do exactly what Congressman Al Green just did.

Trump doesn’t know what COBOL is and he calls himself a business man? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Hmm…almost as if we don’t learn from history
