@chrissypacktor Obviously need to go to the John Snow pub and broad street water pump (they are right next to each other) in London!

@Delta, is it your standard policy that people with disabilities need to ask other passengers to put their bags into the overhead bins and that flight attendants are not allowed to help disabled folks with bags? Because that’s what I was told on flight DL2226 to ATL yesterday.

1 in 4 adults in the US has a disability. Is the assumption that all of these people use a chair or medical device? Your policy might need input from people with disabilities so that it doesn’t just reflect what your able-bodied leadership thinks disabled people look like.

NEW: Launched! The PWID+COVID-19 Data Collaborative, a CAMP-led, stakeholder-informed effort to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of #PWID. Check out the collaborative website to see how you can get involved! https://t.co/9nIPvnTZtz

Sure senate majority matters, but these “well who gives a damn about Georgia now” takes ignore the fact that these lawmakers still very much affect people on a local level. This is not some national game with the electoral map as a scoreboard; it’s people’s lives.

Recent #CAMPResearch, led by @CSDE_UW’s Dr. Goodreau, highlights how changes in sexual behavior among adolescents have helped reduce adolescent pregnancies. #teenpregnancy #adolescenthealth

BREAKING: Lizzo has acquired the handle from the Broad Street Pump

If Graham's bill is as advertised, we should be clear that this is actually a blue state abortion ban. The vast majority of red states already have bans stricter than this one. So the point here is really only to overrule the laws of blue states that protect abortion rights.

[Natalie Crawford, MD @ncrawfordmd]

Welcome to Texas. Today abortion, a medical procedure, is now a felony. Punishable with up to life in prison. No exceptions for rape or incest. If you don’t think this will seriously impact medical care, you are wrong.

The real reason millennials can’t afford houses is because we keep having to go to extravagant bachelorette parties.

[RHAvote @RHAVote]

Completely devastating. Thinking of state RJ advocates (legends really) who did everything they fucking could to prevent this.

[ACLU @ACLU]

BREAKING: A federal appeals court will allow a ban on abortion at 6 weeks to take effect in Georgia later this summer.

We’ll continue using every tool we have to fight for abortion access in Georgia — no one should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will.

“These are our family and friends and neighbors and it’s fairly likely that we all know somebody who has injected in the past or is currently injecting,” said the study's lead author. https://t.co/6w6E8N7uMA
