Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

“No matter what some Congressional leaders deny, this budget contains the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. This will impact disability service systems. Providers will close, wages will go down for an already underpaid workforce, and disabled people will be at risk of losing their coverage…” Me

There's only ONE DAY LEFT to put in a public comment to the FDA to keep the COVID vaccines available (not free, just literally available at all) to the general public under age 65! We need to keep access to the vaccines because SARS-CoV-2 mutates fast, and new strains can cause awful complications.

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If there's one small action you'll take today, please consider telling the FDA that everyone should be able to get COVID boosters. They're currently considering restricting boosters to people above 65 or with existing conditions. RFK is trying to take away your freedom to get vaccinated.

Republicans know their big bad budget’s major cuts to vital programs and new giveaways for billionaires are outrageous and unpopular. That’s why they’re holding votes at 11PM and hearings at 1AM – they hope you’re not paying attention.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

"Together, the canceled literary grants amount to $1,227,500—just 0.0000002 percent of the US government’s 2025 budget. If the federal budget was spread out evenly over 365 days, these grants would represent 0.063 seconds."

The DOJ should have to publish their theory under which the government is at risk of this much liability. I would love to know, on DOJ letterhead, just why capitol police's force was excessive.

The science is clear: polluting our drinking water with forever chemicals threatens communities everywhere. The decision to roll back restrictions is further proof that this administration cares more about corporations' bottom line than the health & safety of American families.

Karen, as usual, is 💯 on target. I am repulsed and appalled by the way these weak white men are systematically erasing the contributions and lives of BIPOC Americans just because they aren’t white. “Return to merit based” say the men born on third base. We had a Black POTUS. Get over it.

Yes i think it's good to do this if you are of childbearing age. I don't encourage everyone else to hoard these. What the rest of us can do is to get immediately skilled up in SMA. truthout.org/articles/lea... - I've been talking about this for many years and get educated.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut everyone loses services.
