Love and solidarity 💜

Hearing that @indivisible.org and @moveon.org are pissing off house dems by mobilizing their constituents to call them too much is frankly the single best endorsement I've ever heard for a political action groups.

The fight for gender equality starts earlier than we think—at the moment children first engage with toys, books and screens.

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals. Take a look. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

This beyond concerning.

This is beyond awful

This is why #publichealth agencies should be independent of governments. And not only in the US. The stakes are too high.

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s *especially* important for Democrats to act.

Collective care and action 🌟

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Domestic violence shelters. Shelter for homeless veterans. Suicide hotlines. Meals for seniors. Even the shortest disruption in funding to the vital services could be catastrophic. Republicans want to punish vulnerable Americans to go after perceived “wokeness”

A LOT (a LOT) of dictators in the past grabbed power with something claiming to be "temporary."

Yes to this, thank you so important for those that can, to name and make visible, so we can collectively address & prevent normalizing violence

This, thank you @mspackyetti.bsky.social 🌟

“Race is not a biological category that naturally produces health disparities because of genetic differences. Race is a political category that has staggering biological consequences because of the impact of social inequality on people’s health.” — Dorothy E. Roberts, Fatal Intervention (pp 11)

“Women have always been involved in protests in places like India, Bangladesh and Pakistan but the difference is that they’re taking on more leadership roles and are the primary actors.” www.cnn.com/2024/11/30/a...

So many gems, I recommend them all!

All of Trump's picks to lead health agencies have either spread anti-vaccine disinformation, opposed lifesaving public health measures during the pandemic, or promoted false health claims and unproven products. A Trump administration endangers the health of every person.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

“Women's empowerment, population dynamics, and socioeconomic development have been studied extensively from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. 1/

How do you face fascism? I like Orwell's version: ground yourself in direct and immediate experience, trust your senses, find some joy, turn back to face the fascists and tell truths to combat the lies.
