I noticed how Kamala, Barack, and Hakeem all posted about Small Business Saturday while Bernie and AOC didn’t. The anti-capitalists don’t actually fight big capitalism and support Small Business and this is why Black people will NEVER wholly support that sham movement

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Infants can literally just stop breathing and die with no warning from “whooping cough” (pertussis) infection. They do not necessarily even get the infamous cough that older children and adults get (and can be severe enough to break ribs). Do not let unvaccinated people around your newborns (or you)

Our Founding Fathers would have had a word for calling up a battalion of Marines for regular domestic law enforcement: tyranny.

The media needs to stop referring to RFK Jr. as a "vaccine skeptic." He is a conspiracy theorist and a vaccine denier.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

Yesterday, Robert Prevost asked everyone to start calling him by a different name.
And they did. No outrage or shaming over this request.
See how easy it is to honor other people's benign wishes?

Statement on IMLS Staff Administrative Leave
IMLS is responsible for distributing Federal Funding for libraries.
This action will interrupt IMLS's vital, congressionally funded work. We cannot allow IMLS to be dismantled by executive action.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
