The inevitable outbreaks in red states are going to be concentrated on vulnerable communities, and I worry their legislators will use disease to segregate further like they are planning to with immigrants.

Some thoughts on the release of the hostages’ bodies today. There’s enough sorrow to share. Enough empathy to go around. Let us break open, rather than close up.

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

Good stuff. The last time I was in Berlin, a friend confirmed that they’re reminded of their past over and over. I hope they can find their way. We’ll see.

I want to share this with #Artsky and whoever else cares. A wonderful friend of mine was my first commission for artwork last year around the holidays. He wanted a painting with peonies. I love painting flowers, so OMG, yes! I think of this as my first commission!

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

I'm starting to see this picture of Michelle Obama floating around. I’m offended by the caption. Michelle is a well-educated former First Lady. I think she’d say “I’m not going.” I have the same education and a master’s. My normal speech is standard American English.

OMG. I fell off because I'm having so much fun on Xiaohongshu aka Red Note. It resonates because I lived nearby in South Korea and traveled to China a few times. It feels like a reunion. If you're over there, find me: www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile... This is the ultimate reverse Uno too. 😂🖕🏾

I’ve had friends help me during hard times too. Of course, I’ve faced nothing like what folks are dealing with in the city I grew up in. I moved away years ago for school. I’m seeing so many people step up to help others. It’s wonderful to see. I hope people continue to look after people in need.

And this is where knowing where to go to get accurate info is important. I’m unsure how many Americans can do that. I’m GenX, and remember being taught media literacy. Considering all of the misinformation from Boomers downwards, not everyone was taught to be media savvy. And here we are.
