As we approach #America250, its important to remember:
it took 92 years to end slavery
it took women 144 years to win the vote
it took nearly 190 years for Black people to be guaranteed voting rights
it took nearly 240 years to legalize same-sex marriage
don't give up
our ancestors didn't

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more.
Thanks to NIH, we have:
💉 Cancer immunotherapy
❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins
🩸 Insulin for diabetes
Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

Say "NO" to the chaos & fear caused by ICE invading schools, churches & hospitals looking for families who are our neighbors.
Immigrants are kept from their jobs & buying goods, & law enforcement disrupted from stopping actual crimes.

This is actually make me feel better
I *implore* you all to listen to @mollyjongfast.bsky.social's conversation with @preetbharara.bsky.social
I *promise* it will make you feel better.
Bharara makes many of the arguments I've been trying to make but unlike me he comes with the credentials.
(ie, we're not going to become Russia)

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

@msnbc.com @cnn.com stop with this nonsense that the government is being reshaped . These are destructionists. They don't care about rebuilding. Did he have a healthcare plan when he tried to destroy Obamacare ? I rest my case your honor .
