Now Is The Time To Renew And Bolster Our Apathy.

Why Should Healthy People Have To Share The Responsibility For Keeping Other People Healthy? Especially People Who Are Inherently Harder To Keep Healthy? It’s Not Fair.

Thank you to the activists who projected these important messages in New York to #KeepMasksInHealthcare! Keep speaking up everyone! #MaskWeekOfAction

On the line—Biden WH officials are seeking to protect ~ $5 billion in funding for a program to develop the next generation of #COVID vaccines and treatments. They are also looking to save more than $1 billion to offer free coronavirus shots to uninsured. nytimes.com/2023/05/23/us/…

I so much would love to write the history of the F-16 debate in the administration

So yours was the only masked face at the office and in the store on the subway and in the waiting room at least now you know the answer to your teacher’s question of if you would be willing to do the right thing even if you were the only one doing it.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: A bipartisan bill has been introduced that would block members of Congress from getting paid if the U.S. enters debt default or if the government shuts down. The No Pay for Congress During Default or Shutdown Act, introduced by Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), would withhold lawmakers' pay for the duration of a debt limit breach or lapse in federal funding, an attempt to motivate legislators to prevent either situation. The bill comes amid growing fears that Republicans will not agree to meet the June 1 deadline set by the Treasury Department to raise the debt limit and risk a catastrophic default on U.S. obligations. “Lawmakers should not be rewarded with our salaries until we do our jobs," Spanberger said. What are your thoughts? Should it pass?

I’ve often thought "big" pandemics as revealing systemic things that are missing, or poorly done. The obvious one in the case of COVID-19 is "clean air". Clean water and clean surfaces are well-established basic sanitation measures. Why not clean air, too?

Just published an op-ed in @thenation on the heels of the reintroduction of #MedicareForAll. While we work towards a public healthcare system for everyone, we can’t let corporations take over Medicare. We want #M4A, not Medicare (Dis)advantage for all. thenation.com/article/politi…

217 House Republicans voted for a bill that could cut up to 60,000 teaching jobs—affecting more than 25 million kids. Our teachers and children deserve better.
