Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Can someone please explain to me why masking is not required in NICUs and PICUs (among other places)? These are very vulnerable patients. And one in 5 children and adolescents with Covid-associated hospitalization are admitted to ICU. We must protect our babies and children!

And this is how we lost so many compassionate healthcare workers. "The horror of the indifference made it impossible to continue"
I retired early from my hospital career as a Nurse Midwife for sort of this reason: my hospital over night made masking optional. The next day I was the only person I saw ( except in OR) wearing a mask in patient or out patient. The horror of the indifference made it impossible to continue

Notice how this article doesn’t make the worried “moderates” specify what they mean by “tug the party left.” What issues are they worried about, exactly? Civil rights? Womens rights? Economic rights? LGBTQ right? Let’s be clear.
@aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov's rallies have been so successful that it's "worrying some moderate Democrats who fear Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez could tug the party to the left."
