A sentient country chooses Ariadne to rule, but it should be impossible; the country was conquered 1,000 years ago & now belongs to the sovereign she serves. Accepting sovereignty=leading a revolution. Refusing=losing her magic & marking her countrymen for death #A #pitmad #F

Someone needs to explain WHY children under 5 can’t have the bivalent booster that every other American can.

@CDCDirector banned off-label.

@FDACBER Peter Marks gave no reason for delay.

All while children’s hospitals/ICUs are filling up.

[Malissa Kent @MMKwrites]

Incorrect, Sir. Your fact checkers need to do better.
Bivalent boosters are NOT AVAILABLE to children under 5!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

For two years the COVID virus has been evolving – but the good news is that we’re evolving with it.

We’ve updated our COVID vaccines to target the versions of the virus we’re facing now. And they are free and available to every American.

[Malissa Kent @MMKwrites]

1. My 3-year-old doesn't have a booster available to her. In other words, the best defense is simply not available to her, or to any children under 5.
2. In light of 1, and the low vaccination rate in the older population, bring back mask mandates to protect our babies!!!

[Protect Their Future (Formerly @ImmunizeUnder5s) @PTF_org]

Hi there! We're still here fighting for #Covid protection for ALL children. Please RT this to remind people that children under 5 still have NO access to bivalent boosters. With no mask mandates & no updated shots, we are STILL leaving them behind. Follow us to advocate for kids!

[Protect Their Future (Formerly @ImmunizeUnder5s) @PTF_org]

Rosalind Brewer, We're writing on behalf of the many families going to @Walgreens for #COVID vaccines for their children. Unfortunately, many of them are being INCORRECTLY turned away. As the CEO of
@Walgreens, please make sure pharmacists are aware of current guidelines 1/2

Are people truly tired of keeping themselves and their community safe or are they just being told they’re tired?

I’m not tired of masking, cleaning the air, vaccinating, and testing. My health and that of others are benefiting

What I’m tired of is disinformation.

While we’re talking about Liz Truss, now seems like a good time to remind people that the Republican Party is running on an economic/tax platform that is virtually identical to the one she just resigned over.

This is my daily YELL at publishing houses to hire editors new coworkers and assistants because NOTHING WILL GET DONE unless they have time to do THE WORK THEY ALREADY HAD ON THEIR DESKS A YEAR AGO

[Senator Patty Murray @MurrayCampaign]

For the second day in a row, Seattle has some of the worst air quality in the world. The air outside isn’t safe—especially for our kids. Let me be absolutely clear: climate change is a crisis that is hurting all of us.

[Melissa11 @melissa_zegar]

Can we get an update on WHAT EXACTLY is holding up Peter Marks from giving bivalent vaccine access for under 5s? @COVIDOversight @adamcancryn @Alexander_Tin @margbrennan @PTF_org @rachelnpr @megtirrell @ASlavitt @whca @DrCaliff_FDA

[Joaquín Beltrán Free Palestine @joaquinlife]

.@POTUS, today is a great day to show you care by bringing back a public indoor mask mandate. The growing SARS2 crises that is upon us this winter with immune evading variants and the loss of treatments is preventable if you decide to lead. Do the right thing. #BringBackMasks

[laurie allee (retired account) @laurieallee]

Then why won’t CDC recommend these things?

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

RT if you agree that Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham shouldn't be allowed to make decisions about your body.

@thewritinghippo I have a writing retreat planned in a few weeks and I am SO excited!! Thanks for the advice!

Every single woman should be able to make her own health care decisions about abortion. That's the bottom line. That's what I'm fighting for.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Whether it's raging wildfires or road-buckling heat, WA state is already feeling the effects of the climate crisis. That's why I fought to make sure the Inflation Reduction Act went big on climate—and included resources to help our communities mitigate the effects of this crisis.
