Happy Juneteenth! If you are white and you are getting holiday pay today, please consider rehoming that money into Black communities.

One time I worked for an organization that almost went bankrupt but then merged with another organization that was also about to go bankrupt in hopes of saving both. Then the new merged organization went bankrupt and we all got layed off.
Anyway, I guess Trump is making Tesla commercials now.

It is not normal for civil rights to be revoked in response to protest. Mahmoud Khalil is the definition of a political prisoner. Also, his wife is 8 months pregnant, and it would be great if she didn't have to give birth without him.

As abortion bans increase maternal & infant mortality, Trump admin. shuttered the CDC's PRAMS, a program collecting maternal health data since 1988, for promoting "DEI." This racist action dismisses the realities of medical racism, which systemically & disproportionately harms Black pregnant people.

If you have a kid in your life who's about 5 or 6, tell them about Ruby Bridges. Tell them that a kid who was about the same age as them was so brave and stood up for what was right when a lot of adults were wrong, and because of her and kids like her they get to go to school with kids of all races.

I know. I was there in those camps.

I just introduced 3 new chickens to one established lonely chicken. Each new chicken tried to individually fight the old chicken for dominance and lost. I feel like there's a lesson here, but I'm not sure whether it's more about the importance of coalition building or about how weird chickens are.

When kids who can get vaccines don't, they aren't the only ones who get measles or whooping cough. Kids who have actual medical conditions that prevent them from getting vaccines get sick, and those kids die at much higher rates than average.

We warned people. I’ve been debunking RFK Jr.’s antivax conspiracy mongering since 2005. None of this is a surprise to me. If confirmed, he WILL go after vaccines hard. He’s lying when he claims otherwise.
