A leaked memo suggests Pam Bondi wants to put a bounty on trans activists.

She wants to reward people for turning advocates into the FBI.

There’s another group who did this.

The Nazis.

They went after trans people, gay people, the disabled, immigrants and the Jews.

Repeat after me:

I will wear a N95 respirator as I travel in shared indoor spaces (healthcare facilities, airports, public restrooms, mall, etc)

I will not visit anyone upon feeling ANY symptoms indicating possible infection (e.g., tiredness, headache).

I will test.

Air purifiers are my friend.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Ok this is important. A big myths

Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season:

🧵

* Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals.

* We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water.

I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me.

It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.

It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.

Listen to disabled people.
