Put a mask on your face and stop spreading disease and death like it's the 17th century. That's how you can show you're safe. #SolidarityNotCharity #DirectGivingSavesLives #MaskUpForHumanity

When you see the news about the cuts to Medicaid it is not enough to say “people will die,” for in terms of these cuts it is not that people are dying, but that people are being killed.

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Happy fucking Monday. I quit smoking cigarettes on 12/21/2024 and I feel so damn mean. But I'm not smoking so there's that. Hope you're having a better Monday than I am. Send baby goat videos.

N95 masks protect against wildfire smoke, airborne viruses, and more. They are an essential public health tool. Like condoms and many other public health tools, the government should make N95 masks free and easily accessible to the public throughout the year.

In addition to lagging winterization updates, increased populations, and increased natural disasters, one lesser told story about grid stress is all these tech servers and crypto mines that relocated to Texas and are eating up a lot of grid power. www.texastribune.org/2024/01/03/t...

BLOW THIS UP! Striking Amazon workers picketing outside an Amazon warehouse were greeted by a torrent of water in freezing temperatures from Bezos. These mega corporations & billionaires will stop at NOTHING to stop us from organizing. Fuck that! We stand with WORKERS. #SolidaritySeason

Today I had to go through records, some of which were from the late 1900s. See how mean that sounds?!? Some of them had my signature on them. The worst thing was the smell of old paper that had lived in humid conditions for years. I had to put my mask back on to stop the coughing. #ewwww

Sitting waiting for a vehicle inspection when they won't even be required after this month. Which isn't necessarily a good thing for road safety but I'm still irked.

As someone on SSDI I can't tell you how it hurts to listen to people speak about Social Security and Medicare but fail to mention the populations who subsist on these programs: Seniors: 77.8% Survivors: 11.2% People w/Disabilities: 11% It's very crucial in our messaging to ensure EVERYONE is seen.

I've been raising funds for & giving to Voix Noire for at least 5 years. Giving is tax-deductible, funds are always needed & help people immediately. Mutual aid is how we get by. #SolidarityNotCharity #DirectGivingSavesLives

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

We who support democracy and voting rights, we are on our own. We the lawyers who litigate these cases, we are on our own. DOJ is not going to be helpful. The best we can hope for is they stay out. So, this Holiday season, hug a lawyer!

Dr. Peter Hotez is fighting false assertions that vaccines cause autism & the implausibility of vaccines causing autism based on studies showing how the neurodevelopmental process of autism occur before birth. We NEED believers in SCIENCE as head of HHS! Thank you, Dr. Hotez for everything you do!

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

They died because they were women. Today is the 35th anniversary of the Dec. 6, 1989 Polytechnique Massacre. 14 women, most engineering students, were murdered by a misogynist gunman. December 6 is now the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. www.cbc.ca/montreal/fea...

When I interviewed mutual aid volunteers in Asheville, they had one recurring plea: Don’t forget about us when the news cycle moves on. I recently caught up with one of those organizers who shared some important updates and lessons learned. This is a good time to learn from collective survival work.

Masks in hospitals save lives. When masking is dropped - they saw a 25% jump in hospital acquired viral infections. When reinstated? A 33% decrease. It’s almost as though masking should be mandatory and permanent in hospital settings. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...
