The vice president ran an excellent campaign. The past 4 years while she was working to make the country better. A right wing campaign was growing. Start talking to your family & friends. The root of the problem isn’t on the top. It’s locally !
If you are a Democrat who is spending time attacking Kamala Harris or her campaign rather than focusing on the fight ahead, you aren't helping anyone.
i’ve said it before: my parents told their right wing families to fuck off (literally) in the early 1970s over vietnam + civil rights
since then, every member of my family, including my 20 yr old white nephew, has voted straight blue
this is how we build a movement + win

Alice is an icon among disability justice icons. One of the baddest bitches to live. She made a way for herself & everyone who follows her in the world of disability representation. A literal (MacAurther) genius. Her impact is immeasurable. I can’t believe she’s gone.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Get your flu shot and a COVID booster. We’re seeing both in clinic, and staff is also getting sick even though we’re vaccinated. If we’re too sick to work, we can’t help you. Wear a mask if you’re in a doctor’s office, ER, or any crowded place. We don’t have a functional health system in place.
If only the CDC hadn't been shut down for the last month and a half. It's probably already here and spreading.

With a Democratic trifecta & a large moderate Republican faction in Congress, LBJ was able to get the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed, but in the 1966 midterms, Democrats lost 40 House seats, 3 Senate seats & 8 governorships.🧵

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.
