I organize online, but I show up in person.
We can’t just throw hot takes out on social media. We have to call, write, testify, and march if we can.
Show up and they’ll know the resistance is real.

UPDATE: The strain of bird flu is distinct from what has previously been found in dairy cattle. The finding raises some worrying questions — and concerns over the Trump administration's muted response.

I’ve been leaving voice messages with my PA senators practically every day about RFKJ. Fetterman’s voicemail was full this morning, so I sent a letter mentioning RFKJ’s completely false and dangerous claim that “we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to White”

There’s a potential Ebola outbreak in DR Congo
BUT the CDC can’t communicate with the WHO to learn more
SO we will know less about this outbreak
And this increases the risk to everyone
Including us
THIS is what happens when we pull back
Stupidity.

We're finally dismantling the federal government! Sure hope it doesn't serve essential functions that I've taken for granted my whole life

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

Was thinking about the possibility of a new pandemic and no communication from any governmental organizations plus all the social media owned by techbros that fell in line and all I gotta say is THANK GOD FOR BLUESKY because it may actually be our best hope for actual information dissemination.

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave.
