Universal masking and social distancing at the start of the pandemic were so effective that they eliminated a strain of flu, and now annual flu vaccines have been redesigned because that strain no longer needs to be included in the shot. Amazing.

@zacista Shared this with my mom today who was getting ready for early voting. Thanks for the clear, concise explanations Zac

Netanyahu is committing human rights abuses over and over again—bombing hospitals, burning Palestinians alive, blocking food aid, and killing aid workers.

This evil genocide must end and President Biden has to stop enabling it. That starts with cutting off military aid.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

"I've never been in a room where building codes got so much applause" - @ayanaeliza at @FreshEnergy #BenefitBreakfast. I'm so grateful to be in Minnesota where we're raising the bar on efficiency for all new buildings through bold energy codes. #Energy #Efficiency #Climate

Greta understands that genocide, COVID, and climate change are interlinked crises. As we all should if we want to achieve transformative change.

Today is Oct 7th.

Gaza can't grieve genocide, because the bombs keep falling.

Tampa Bay can't grieve Helene, because Milton is on the way.

Our government chooses to arm Israel and subsidize Big Oil. We must choose differently.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

Let's get this straight. FEMA has a $9 billion budget shortfall.

A massive mega-hurricane just caused historic levels of destruction.

Our government chooses to send Israel a $8.7 billion weapons shipment.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Since brain damage in kids seems to be nbd maybe we should keep reminding folks it also causes brain damage in dogs

[charlotte @CharlotteAbotsi]

You see things like this, like Hurricane Helene, and then you think about the climate activists sitting in jail on domestic terrorism charges for daring to fight to save the Weelaunee Forest.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

The Israeli government is employing the same genocidal tactics in Lebanon that it unleashed in Gaza, relentlessly bombing both while engaging in mass killings, forced displacement, and the destruction of cities and villages. 🧵

Asheville is over 2,000 feet above sea level, and ~300 miles away from the nearest coastline. No place is safe from climate change.

We all suffer the consequences. We must all take action. We are all in this together.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Entire towns are being washed away in North Carolina, countless homes destroyed in Florida, crumbling infrastructure everywhere is unable to handle the climate crisis and the U.S. is sending billions to Israel so that they can start a regional war and murder more civilians.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

COVID surges throughout the year. That means the government should provide free vaccines, tests, and high-quality masks throughout the year. Anything less is not sufficient.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

GOOD NEWS: The US government has announced that it will again offer free at-home Covid tests starting in late September.

You will be able to get 4 more free test kits sent through the mail.

WATCH: Palestinian American and Democratic Georgia state Representative @Ruwa4Georgia reads the unity speech rejected by the DNC and the Harris campaign.

[Mac @GoodPoliticGuy]

It’s honestly gross watching Dems speak about Gaza like a hurricane hit. It’s not an unfortunate tragedy. It’s not heartbreaking. It’s something you have full control over and are actively choosing to do.

[UAW @UAW]

If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party. If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian American speaker to be heard from the DNC stage tonight.

Ilhan Omar: "If you really wanted a ceasefire, you'd just stop sending the weapons. It is that simple"

Spot on.
