If you live in a swing district, you can save Medicaid. Call, write, Email and visit your representatives often. Then do it again. There's no other way, no magic wand. We need three Republican votes, or Medicaid goes away very soon.

New, from me:
So much is happening, so quickly. The purpose of shock and awe is to bewilder and overwhelm. It is important not to look away, or get discouraged. Try to discern the what is a big and real threat. Here is my best effort to do so. 🧵

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

They made a whole movie about Zuckerberg and he seems every bit of the sociopath out for vengeance and to feel superior that the movie displayed. None of these men were ever likable people. And they found out you don’t magically become likable with a billion dollars but you can force it 🙃

Something I try to explain to tech peeps/investors is the danger of seeing yourself as the outcome, rather than the enabler.
It leads to creating 'value' that isn't valuable to the user. It just complicates their journey to the outcome you are meant to deliver.
Facebook is speed-running that. /1

"What do you want to do?" is a great way to pay homage for someone who has Colman's range. He's great in everything.
Colman Domingo says he is in talks to have a role in the MCU.
“They literally sat down and said, ‘What do you want to do?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know. What do you got for me?’ So we’re having engagement”
