As of 2022, only 29 US states required some kind of sex ed in schools—and about half of those didn’t require the information to be medically accurate. Where you live shouldn’t dictate your quality of education.

The first episode of Crash Course Sex Ed is available now!

This will directly cause hundreds of thousands of new and needless deaths from tuberculosis every year, and reverse decades of progress in fighting our deadliest infection. I'm just devastated.
Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.
Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency
One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos…

Some 21 million Americans don’t have ready access to a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers. And the SAVE Act would require these documents to register to vote.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.

This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

The disenfranchisement of MILLIONS of women act, also called the SAVE act, passed the house.

It will likely pass in the Senate too.

All the women who took their husband’s name will now no longer be able to vote.

Funny how those “unwed mothers” now have a leg up an all the trad wives.

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers:

“Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.”

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.
