I'm exploring DSA here in the Philly area, and invite others to do the same (but no pressure):

And yes, you can be a Democrat and also a member of DSA. This is as much a movement as it is a party.

Periodic reminder: the vaccine efficacy of the pertussis vaccine drops below 50% at 4.5 years. You should be getting a Tdap booster every 5 years, not every 10. It is especially vital if you have contact with pregnant people or infants too young to be vaccinated.
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Trump administration shares new moves to dismantle more of the Education Department
Some of the responsibilities the administration aims to move were explicitly assigned to the U.S. Education Department by Congress, raising questions about the legality of these changes.

I sense a major backlash coming over Federal programs that limit local diversity initiatives. If the Federal government is going to put ideological strings on funds it provides for other objectives, state and local governments should refuse them.

The changes made by Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s administration represent a major shift in the city’s diversity initiatives and come as such programs are under attack nationwide.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
