Did You Know?

The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black man—and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties.

In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.

Minnesota and 21 other states went to court to prevent the admin from slashing medical research—and won. This would have canceled life-saving research into organ transplants, cancers, Parkinson’s disease, and more.

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue. Please stay updated and bookmark this page for your health and well-being.

To recap,
Yes, many harmful orders came from the highest office,

BUT helpers arose:
The Reverend from her pulpit who called for love & mercy.
The staff who kept officers from raiding their school.
The lawyers who sprung into action to protect vulnerable communities.

We are all the helpers now.

How does terrorizing farm workers, school kids and hard working immigrants make America great, especially when you release and pardon violent insurrectionists?

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

I’m at a video game competition/conference with one of the kids. It is amazing. Lots of “weirdos” (in the best way) just being themselves. This is the America I want to live in. I want people to be able to not fit in and find their own way.

I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order.

They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.

Trump is deep in the pocket of Big Pharma. He doesn't care whether Americans can afford their meds, only that Big Pharma continues to make massive profit.

This won’t help you. It won’t help your family. He did this because it helps Pharma CEOs.
Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.

There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.

Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we need to recommit to the fight for reproductive rights. No one should have fewer rights than the generation before them. Reproductive freedom is fundamental, and we must protect it everywhere, for everyone.
