An acquaintance keeps asking me "why" Republicans don't value things like youth sports and arts programs, public transportation, etc. and it's getting really annoying.

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. 🧪🧵⬇️

Yesterday we installed a 4th ghost bike for Gerardo Marciales. Each bike has been crashed into *multiple* times. Statistically, it’s just a matter of time before another person is killed at this location.
