Today, we remember Uvalde.
We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down.
The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive.
The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies.
We need an assault weapons ban. Now.

“In the past, the United States would ‘almost invariably’ have sent search teams and released money to nonprofit organizations to aid survivors… Instead, on Friday, workers who remained at USAID received messages informing them of their ‘final mission’ and detailing the further elimination of jobs.”
The gutting of U.S.A.I.D. is likely to hinder recovery efforts in Myanmar.

A friend asked me to go to his small, progressive Lutheran Church here in South Brooklyn/Flatbush today. (I'm empatheist—an atheist who welcomes your faith.) A thing that stuck out is that the Church has tools for addressing and contextualizing this moment that few other institutions have.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Americans will go on vacation to a place that isn’t a car sewer, walk and take public transit for 8-12 hrs. a day, notice a change in their health, and attribute it to “they must not have the Illuminati chemicals here”
Ainsley Earhardt makes a case for RFK Jr: "When you go to Europe, the food is delicious. It's so fresh. And you don't gain weight if you eat a big bowl of pasta. So we want that to come here to America."

When folks mask during a wildfire it reminds me that
1) people still have masks around.
2) people are totally capable of masking.
3) people are only willing to mask if it means protecting themselves.
