This is Rep. Tarik Khan (State PA 194) talking about Freedom House Ambulance Service and the history about it.
Freedom House, founded in 1967 in Pittsburgh's Hill District, was the first US emergency service staffed by paramedics, primarily serving Black neighborhoods.

Why call Olympians’ efforts to manage infxn risk “extreme”? Twice!
Since when is masking or limiting extraneous contacts “extreme”?
Words matter!

Why are childless people like me more angry about this than American parents?
Why are the parents that fight tooth and nail to protect kids from books ok with 5yos being sent alone to a prison camp?
Are American parents really so self-serving and racist that being silent about this feels ok?

Right after Renee Good shifted into drive, Johnathan Ross unholstered his weapon. He shot her three times as she tried to drive away from him and then called her a “fucking bitch.”
Yet, the DOJ is refusing to investigate Ross. Minnesota must.
