In a flotilla that was delayed due to a drone strike in Malta, Greta Thunberg and 11 others continued on to provide relief. A global march from Egypt to Rafah is set to arrive mid-June. #activism #Thunberg #flotilla #aid #march #protest

Pregnant women are left shaking their head after listening to the inconsistent information from the FDA on COVID vaccines. If your physician is not up to date with all of the studies, will the recommendation be accurate? #women #pregnancy #COVID #vaccine #OBG #FDA

Mike Johnson spreads generalized false claims of healthy, young men scamming Medicaid to justify the work requirements. This false narrative has been used in the same failed plan tried by some States already. #Medicaid #Johnson #Speaker #budget #taxes

Keep up to date with the lawsuits involving democracy with Marc Elias. Updates for the voting for Alabama and Louisiana. The law firm WilmerHale won its suit that prevented federal access, as well as the firms Jenner&Block and Perkins Coie. #law #justice #Democracy #Elias #Alabama #Louisiana #vote

RFK Jr. sabotaged pandemic preparedness by canceling Moderna’s $766 million bird flu vaccine contract due to baseless skepticism of mRNA technology. He then jettisoned CDC booster guidance for kids and pregnant women without scientific review. This chaotic disregard imperils public health. 1/2

Don't assume that if you're stopped or detained without legal cause or warrant that you must give your ID, answer friendly questions, or provide any information. If there are others around, yell that you're being detained & to film the encounter.

If you value your health, wear a mask. If you want to practice community care, wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people, wear a mask. If you want to fight fascism, wear a mask. We need people as healthy as possible so they can resist. Mask up.

When did we get to the point that it's illegal for College and University protesters to wear masks, but law enforcement agents are covering their faces in communities? How can the public feel safe if they are in plain clothes as well? #law #Goldman #abductions #federal #protesters #immigrants #masks

This part

More important things that people need to know about the big beautiful bill. Don't forget to call, text or email your Republican Senator. #budget #bill #BBB #protest

Breaking news from the can't-make-this-shit-up desk: The same folks who are certain that Fauci caused COVID by funding people to study bats in a Biosafety Level 4 facility now want to import 400 ostriches with the goddamn bird flu from Canada so they can live on Dr. Oz's ranch.

Republican Joni Ernst's response to her constituent's reminder that people will die if Medicaid and SNAP are cut, was "Well we're all going to die". Do the Republican reps care about most Americans? #Ernst #veterans #Iowa #America #protest

Jamie Raskin tells of Republican behavior that threatens Federal Judges. Call or message your representatives to tell them to uphold justice. #judge #federal #Republicans #Senator #Raskin

Republican Rand Paul admits that Tariffs are a tax that will significantly hurt businesses and Americans and he says that he will not be voting for the bill. #Paul #BBB #budget #Tariffs #taxes #America

When you give an individual free reign over the agencies that make a country function to use as an experiment, you can't claim ignorance. πŸ™ŠπŸ™‰πŸ™ˆ #taxpayers #America #DOGE

Germany's Chancellor has promised assistance with the war in Ukraine and plans to develop the strongest military in Europe for security purposes. #Germany #Ukraine #military

The reports for "Make America Healthy Again" had inaccurate information and some people have said they didn't even write the papers that were shown. #MAHA #RFK #HHS #America

Ask your Republican Representatives this question. Making America great for who? #SNAP #children #elderly #disabled #Medicaid #protest

How long can you blame another administration, especially when they dealt with the problems from lack of federal dollars to make the required improvements? Republicans denied the needed upgrade money in 2019. #airlines #FAA #travel #America #airports

In 2017 several Republican Senators expressed their distaste for having a military parade, including John Kennedy from Louisiana. Republicans are selling out their State funding and Congressional control for a parade. #parade #Republicans #federal #Senator #Congress #protest

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

This song by the Temptations, is still meaningful today. #song #Temptations #politicians #equality #Tariffs

🚨 The admin and Republicans plan to make huge cuts to LIHEAP after RFKjr fired the 30 employees from the agency. The program aids the poorest with weatherization and cooling of 6.2 million, with over 50% elderly. cont.. #LIHEAP #RFK #republican #elderly #disabled #weather #heatstroke #federal

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

And this is what happens every time the Federal Courts have been ruling according to the laws and constitution. Judges and their orders are demeaned by the admin, even though he swore on inauguration day to uphold them. #Law #Constitution #Tariffs #Judge #trade #Federal #protest #America

Well, for some I guess the Constitution is more like a suggestion instead of laws that our country is bound by. Bet they colored outside of the box as kids too. πŸ™ˆπŸ™‰πŸ™Š #Constitution #Republican #America

This emotional song about the realities of innocent civilians from the Marsh Family is one of many current event song adaptations found on YouTube. #Marsh #song

Airline delays and cancellations are the norm instead of the exception thanks to the firings and freezes on new hires. Advertising asking for retired air traffic controllers is the answer? #airline #travel #airport #transportation
