Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

The entirety of the Senate (and Congress) should be outraged at the treatment of a sitting U.S. Senator. It’s also time for Murkowski to align her words with action — at the very least, repudiate her affiliation w/ the GOP and stop supporting this fascist regime. www.huffpost.com/entry/alex-p...

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised: 1. Get every vaccine you need 2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95). These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.

One of the best days of the pandemic was when I stopped having to walk by the refrigerated trucks at the end of every shift. One of the worst memories of the pandemic was when I was trapped in the pharmacy because the there were so many bodies in the hall they blocked our only door.
