Yes, thank you

@popelizbet.bsky.social Do you have any recommendations for labor lawyers in Virginia? Asking for a dear friend

In light of today’s news about the National Cancer Institute announcing a 4% payline, it’s really important to communicate to people that the previous 10% payline was still effectively a lottery and the result of decades of underfunding the NIH. Paylines used to be 25%.

Volunteers flock to immigration courts to support migrants arrested in the hallways A diverse group of volunteers from faith leaders to grandmothers to retired lawyers have been escorting people to immigration courts across the country

They come with flyers, water, phone numbers. Grandmothers. Students. Retired lawyers. Waiting outside immigration courts to walk strangers through the fire. This isn’t charity. It’s conscience. And it’s growing. 🔥🔥

The question now: how many more of us are ready to stand beside them?

TogetherIV IVs will never be lonely again.

My friend Luke is a kid receiving infusions who's working on TogetherIV, an app where ppl can chill, play games, and feel supported during med treatments.

It would mean a lot to me if you guys could share or join the waitlist if you're getting infusions and interested!

Sometimes I think about how members of my communities show up every day to fight for our lives and each other and then people tell us we should be nicer to the feckless, cowardly assholes who've chosen to abandon us.

Exclusive | Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump. The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter ‘is a fake thing.’

if you’re given to despair in exceedingly dark times, i get it. let’s challenge each other to spend a few minutes a day imagining attainable possibilities. things that are within our control to accomplish, great and small.

Now is a good time to reach out to the principal of your local school to ask if they might want you to organize a back to school drive. Then reach out to your neighbors and ask them to help.

Save every human being.

Fight for every single person that you can.

AND it's all of us or none of us, truly. We must continue to fight back in all the ways that we can.

AND literally: Save every single person that you can.

There is no buffer time. It's now

I cannot fucking believe I have to crowd fund this kind of impact. But the truth is, y'all are why we can afford to do this.

The most effective healthcare advocacy outfit in this moment (when Medicaid and the ACA and Medicare are all on the line), is relying on you for help bringing in money

If you care about Medicaid, I need your help. These kids are the best chance we have of saving Medicaid.

Families are on the way to DC. We need to cover van rentals and hotel rooms. I will not, I will NOT, waste your money or time.

Trump, Pam Bondi, Ed Martin, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino are running a purge. It ought to be front-page news. Their target: the rule of law.

After/If the Senate passes the bill, groups including @indivisible.org @moveon.org & @fairshareamerica.bsky.social are calling for a national day of action before the House votes. Go to your district Rep's office and tell them VOTE NO on this destructive, cruel bill

“Defund the masked secret police grabbing people off of street corners, instead fund cancer research and healthcare funding” seems like a policy most Democrats across the country could run on

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

Unbelievable. Latest update from the nonpartisan budget office says the Senate Republican bill now cuts nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The portal to do it is MedWatch: www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medw... You will need the manufacturer's name (it's on the pharmacy bottle). The options you want are Consumer/Patient (FDA Form 3500B), "Had problems after switching from one product maker to another maker".

Collective griping about bad generic versions of drugs in the other thread made me realize it's been a while since the PSA: if your pharmacy switches which manufacturer they use to supply a generic drug, and the drug works differently or doesn't work, file an adverse effects report with the FDA.

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen

not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally

shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Procedural Tools for Congress to Slow Down MAGA Phone scripts and sample language to ask your reps to draw the line

Call your reps. Tell them they need to draw a goddamn line.

There are a huge range of procedural tools they can use to slow Congress to a crawl. Use it or lose it.

(Scripts/language here.)

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.

These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.
