Historically redlined communities experience slower EMS response times, a new @jama.com study finds.

Areas that were historically Grade D had a higher proportion of residents without rapid EMS compared with Grade A areas.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid’s Show in Major Shake-Up Ms. Reid’s 7 p.m. program will be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

Everytime MSNBC has a “shakeup” the black woman solo led show is ALWAYS the first to go. MHP, Tamron Hall, Tiffany Cross, Zerlina Maxwell and now Joy Reid. The track record speaks for itself. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Bravo @plos.org!

US exec orders "stand in direct conflict with our core values, our mission, edit policies"

"PLOS will not compromise on issues of scientific rigor & editorial integrity... we seek diversity because more expert voices make for better science"

🎯🎯🎯 Meme that says: I see folks saying DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is being replaced by MEI (Merit, Excellence and Intelligence). From what I see we're going back to REI (Racism, Exclusion and Intolerance).

Another reason to ❤️ Costco.

While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the community—building apartments above its stores, starting in LA.

This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

I believe!

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

This is dangerously irresponsible on every level. Indiscriminately slashing this funding will cripple lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH.

GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC.

Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Dear World, (An Apology From Decent Americans) Dear World,

Dear Leaders of the Free World,

Fight him at every turn.
Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.

We stand with you.
