On this day in 1965, the Reverend James Reeb died after a group of white men opposed to his civil rights work attacked him in Selma. Three men later indicted for the Rev. Reeb's murder were acquitted by an all-white jury.

To all the white folks who are waiting for/pleading Black folks to "do something" or invoke Rep. Jasmine Crockett as a way to cajole or shame us into "getting out there":

Unless you're out there like Michael Schwerer, Andrew Goodman, Viola Liuzzo, or The Weather Underground, leave us alone.

An agency nurse came on Thursday & took down my chemo pump. I was upset because of the cancellation of NIH cancer research. I mentioned it to the nurse who told me I should try “alternative meds,” like dissolving baking soda in water and drinking it. WTF. 1/2

Dear god.
Trump has ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

“The impact of [Trump’s] collective executive orders appears devastating,” one senior NIH employee says.

We had a wonderful sendoff for my mom on Sunday. Thanks to all who attended & participated, especially friends who spent extended time w. me over the weekend & lovingly shared their musical gifts at the service: Ashley Cleveland, Carolyn Arends, Marielle Brown, & Joe Pellasce. Uplifting-full heart.

Hi, everyone. My dear friends Lori McCann and Carolyn Arends are doing this for me—and Mom. I’m in the hospital at the moment with norovirus and I had to restart chemo a few months back. It’s been such a difficult time. Will you please share? Thanks to all. ❤️

I have my own nightmares with regards to healthcare in the United States and the abject poverty it can plunge you into when something unexpected happens to your health. I’m about to lose everything (home, car) and it’s especially hard given that my mother just died. The stress and uncertainty 1/3

More chemo. Lying here in the infusion chair, grieving my mom. Life goes on—it only stands still in our memories.

A lot of the positions people like RFK jr. take (anti-vax, anti-pasteurization etc.) get described as “controversial.”

They’re not. There is no controversy. This is long-settled science. The correct term is “stupid.”

Trump is now < 50%, and leads Harris < 2%. This election was extremely close.

That margin will have enormous consequences. But it’s small enough that instead of debating which vulnerable groups and standards of decency Dems should abandon, they could just focus on how to better defend both.
