Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

Republicans are doubling our insurance premiums. They are throwing 15 million people off their health care.

As a result, tens of thousands will unnecessarily die so that the 1% can get a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

Unacceptable. We cannot allow it.

Tomorrow at 4pm I’ll host a livestream with my colleagues to discuss a government shutdown.

We can’t allow Republicans to throw 15 million off health care & raise premiums by 75%.

Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses.

I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half.

No Republicans voted for it.

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients.

We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty:

The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body.

That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

NIH’s cap on indirect costs could threaten research at Stanford and across the country A Massachusetts court has blocked the National Institutes of Health cap on indirect costs, which university leaders say would sharply cut back U.S. biomedical research.

β€œSeverely cutting research funding, whether through indirect costs or otherwise, makes it harder for universities to create the environment and attract the talent that is essential to groundbreaking discovery”

The available data supports that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective Q: I was sent the bulletin from the Florida Health Department regarding 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines. It contains a lot of confusing and concerning pieces

Scientific data consistently shows that COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and provide greater protection against severe illness and long COVID.
