UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Commentary: As LGBTQ+ people are facing a coordinated attempt to erase their communities, Illinois is choosing compassion and building the infrastructure to protect their rights.
Illinois protects, lifts its LGBTQ+ residents
Unlike some other states, Illinois is choosing compassion and building the infrastructure to protect LGBTQ+ rights. Also, clean energy, college sports, fruit-filled memories, call to Peoples Gas, Trump's National Guard plans, Trump supporters and and sky-high prices for groceries and other goods.

Thanks to Trump's funding cuts, PBS will lay off 15% of its staff.

Trump wants to exert control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all.

It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

Everyone deserves the chance to thrive. I co-founded the Life Science Editors Foundation lifescienceeditors.org
because science systematically excludes people—and in the last 7 months, it’s only gotten worse. That’s bad for science, and worse for society.
Everyone Deserves the Opportunity to Succeed
There is talent everywhere. Yet, people have been and are being excluded from the scientific community. We want to change the scientific culture to make it more inclusive, equitable, and diverse.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

I read this newsletter every week - it's unfiltered truth and inspiration to action.
Each Friday, I write up the impacts to science 🧪& higher ed. This was Week 32:

+ Chaos & courage as CDC Director Monarez fired & 4 top leaders resign
+ FDA limits COVID vax eligibility, pharmacies restricting access
+ pocket rescission, sad research shut downs & more

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this:

“I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”.

It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
