update: did all the things! finally a BSN, RN! (although the society part ain't lookin so hot lol)

I don't pay my taxes so other people get bombs and tanks. I pay my taxes so all our kids get good schools and health care. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

You deserve guaranteed healthcare in the richest, most powerful country in the world. Don't let a corporation or a corporate-bought politician tell you otherwise. Pass Medicare for All.

Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent. The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision. Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

Rep. Ro Khanna: "We have to start with the truth: President Biden mishandled Gaza. He was wrong. We should never have given a blank check [to Netanyahu]." #crookedcon2025

Lina Khan: “Candidly at this moment when we are seeing unprecedented levels of corruption from the Republican Party and total pay to play, the idea that our response to that should be, ‘okay, maybe we should be a little bit more corrupt too’ is frankly mind boggling to me.” #crookedcon2025

Yet, they never have the funds for health care coverage for all.

Italy's largest union, with over 5.5 million workers, has called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla. And smaller Italian unions have said they will join CGIL's general strike.

It's time for a billionaire tax. We CAN have nice things—but only if we stop letting a small few hoard wealth and rig the rules of our system.

No, we should not bail out the radical right-wing leader of Argentina. Instead, we should fund Medicaid here at home.

Next month is open enrollment. Each of the “choices” will force us to pick between our healthcare or our pocketbook. That’s no choice at all.

We need a public health expert in the United States Senate to hold RFK Jr. accountable.

🚨💉Novavax availability update/Call to action So…we might need a bit of help here. This year’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout isn’t going as smoothly as we all would’ve liked based on prior information that we received from vaccine distributors. Here’s how you can help: 1. Contact Sanofi and Novavax and let them know that there is significant demand for Novavax and therefore they should distribute their vaccine as soon as possible. 2. Contact your local pharmacies and let them know that you want them to order Novavax when it becomes available to purchase. One important caveat here, you DO NOT need to call to ask them questions about when and where Novavax will be available. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to provide you with that information at this time. They simply don’t have access to it, and once they do, it will be made publicly available and shared by us. The goal here is to amiably get Sanofi acquainted with just how much demand exists for the Novavax product. Sanofi is distributing Novavax for the first time this year, and they’re a much larger company with many other products to worry about, so unfortunately they don’t seem to “get it” just yet. You have to admit, it sounds sort of silly when you think about it. Besides Novavax, what other vaccine do you know of that has a “fanbase”? I’ve certainly never encountered a DTaP fan or a Hepatitis B fan, and neither has Sanofi, so it’s integral that we get them to understand right off the bat that we exist. And, by extension, that it’s a very bad business decision to not distribute their product to us ASAP. Sanofi: 1-800-981-2491 Sanofi Email form: sanofi.us/en/contact-us/… Novavax: 1-844-668-2829 Novavax Email form: novavax.com/contact-us/ema… Here’s the rundown on the current situation and why your calls can help: Right off the bat, let me start by saying that YOU WILL STILL HAVE ACCESS TO NOVAVAX THIS FALL. Please don’t worry about that. This is not related to reports of RFK Jr. “banning COVID-19 vaccines”, and that’s not what this conversation is about. For any Novavax “veterans” out there, all of this will unfortunately seem very familiar to you, but you know that it’s nothing to stress over, because we’re going to be successful at maintaining our access like we’ve always been in the past. However, we’re experiencing a sort of inexplicable delay in this year’s rollout even though Novavax doses are finished with production and Sanofi is fully ready to distribute them. What we’re hearing through the grapevine is that Sanofi may be concerned about this newly formed CDC ACIP workgroup headed by Retsef Levi, which aims to investigate mRNA COVID-19 vaccines: cdc.gov/acip/downloads… And because of this workgroup, they may be in a sort of temporary “holding pattern” to wait and see if anything comes of it before they distribute their vaccine, even though Novavax has nothing to do with mRNA technology. Well, if Novavax isn’t on the chopping block, then what’s the issue with just letting things play out? As I mentioned, this workgroup was just very recently announced, last Thursday. We don’t even know who the members are yet, some members are going to need to get security clearances, and they actually need to schedule a date to meet. All of that is extremely unlikely to happen before the next ACIP meeting, which we expect to happen sometime around mid to late September. Mid to late September, although it might be fine for some people, is a completely unacceptable timeframe for a vaccine rollout. Cases are skyrocketing among children as they return back to school, and we need to ensure that vaccine doses sitting on warehouse shelves are made available ASAP to provide them with better protection.

Oregon could become first state to adopt universal healthcare. New system could be in place as early as 2030. #news #health peoplesworld.org/article/oregon…

I talked with @hasanthehun about @upinarms_us, a movement to decrease the wasteful Pentagon spending and give people what they really need, healthcare, education and childcare. War is NOT good business for the American people!

Reminder that the strike is about a women-dominated workforce doing unpaid labour while executives get huge bonuses. Carney's Liberals are exactly who we warned they were. ctvnews.ca/business/artic…

@knowerofthings7 america is the only developed country w/out some form of universal healthcare... so some form of universal healthcare. (states like OR hcao.org & WA are working on this rn) then it would no longer be on companies (like yourself) to have to provide it

Health insurance in this country is broken. I have one company with 5 employees in NJ. On an $80K salary its not possible to afford insurance for the whole family. The monthly cost to the employee starts at $1400 before consuming any benefits. How do we fix it? Serious answers only.

@Valkyrae @yoxics as a fellow 33 y/o auntie, we can still make the world a better place/do cool shit w/out having kiddos ❤️ (although, still kudos to the ones that do!)

@yoxics -and give money away 🙂‍↕️

Thanks to my fans who came out to meet me today, for supporting me and for supporting the moral issue of our lifetime. I love you all, it’s hard to put into words how much it means to me. Thank you.

What is the purpose of having power as a United States Senator if you're not going to use it to make people's lives better?
