The Polio Vaccine Was a Miracle—and We Must Not Forget It
As a polio survivor, I am a dinosaur today. My great hope is that our country’s living memory of the disease ends with my generation.

Texas Senators absolutely stink. How are they ok with cuts to mental health programs for kids when they could have rolled back the tax rates for billionaires. Instead, Cornyn supports moving a spaceship to Texas, which no one asked for.

If redistricting is an urgent issue, then the federal law should be changed to them every 5 years. With all states on board; not just those picked by the POS.

Yes, the US should pressure Israel to flood Gaza with aid and food. We've been throwing our weight around unnecessarily everywhere except where it'll help people. Why is our sense of urgency on this missing?

I am lowkey waiting for Trump to throw the "Birds aren't real" conspiracy at us next. Let's support the victims and recognize the trauma continually forced onto them by this predator-in-chief and his bootlicking cronies.

Congress voted to claw back federal funding to public media. Some of those hit hardest include community radio stations in areas that voted for the president.

I don't understand why lethal rounds are anywhere near the aid distribution sites in Gaza.

I don't want anybody illegally deported. But, WTF does Trump mean by employers can "vouch" for their workers? Cherry picking justice?

I have yet to read and reason why any Republican supported cutting after-school programs and food support for students. These programs are critical for working parents and to prevent/reduce hunger. Not in our national interests?

They could have rolled back the 2017 tax breaks for the top 1% to cover summer food programs for children. The "let them eat cake" bill is a disgrace.

I don't know the status of Iran's nuclear program. I don't know how many lives, if any, have been spared by the U.S. bombing of Iran. I do know that thousands of children in Gaza have already died and continue to suffer. Are their lives not worth our national interest?

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin: We're also finding out that they have fired top experts and scientists across Health and Human Services, and we have no report on that. So, yes, when they fail to spend money that Congress has appropriated, that is called impoundment, and it is illegal.

I appreciated The Daily Show's bit about not getting distracted by Trump's nonsense. It is hard to pause the outrage with his 24/7 horsesh*t, but I'm working on it.

Are there practical strategies to offer students to protect their visas from being revoked? It sounds like many institutions aren't even being notified.
