part of the political issue is that popular understanding of mid century america is filtered through nostalgia-drenched popular culture, often through stories told from the perspective of a child or, if not a child, an affluent adult
asterisk because i think we look at that period of stability deeply red rose-colored glasses. when people think prosperity they don’t think “family of six sharing a 1200 sq ft home living largely on canned goods and hand me downs” but that was the reality

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Powerful remarks from Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng: when right to health is affected, the right to economic participation, to sports, to enjoying life is threated. The right to #health underpins other #HumanRights.

Senegal 🇸🇳 President
DIOMAYE FAYE, President of Senegal said: "I don't really want my photographs in your offices, because I'm not a God or an icon, but a servant of the nation. Hang pictures of your children instead and look at them every time you want to make a decision…….”

Canadians! Join me in signing: UNIFOR.org/EndIPV

In ON, police reported instances of IPV are ⬆️ 11% since 2019.

44% – of 🇨🇦 women report having been subjected to IPV.

This is a widespread public health emergency that needs to be declared an epidemic. #IWD2025 #EndIPV #Canada #HumanRights

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO.
Not for me.
It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

I know people are suggesting scripts for calls to your reps to make it less intimidating for newbies. But as a veteran of congressional offices, I am 95% sure they are simply keeping tallies of how many ppl call about which issues. 🧵

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
