Kindness is a gift everyone can afford. Spending each day trying to leave the world a little better than the day before.

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

The holidays are never the same after we lose a loved one. Clinical psychologist Mary-Frances O'Connor says we shouldn't avoid facing grief or try to hide our feelings.

"Grief is a universal experience," she notes, "and when we can connect, it is better." https://t.co/cUypqwACV4

Damn right!

BTW look what he did!

He showed up.

Social media is fine but decisions are made by those who SHOW UP.

People always complain about Washington but most of the decisions that impact you are at the local level SHOW UP.

Great Job Sir!

“We’ve known f/over a decade that nurses have been concerned about their workloads... There is also a unique combination of health risks... We’re on a hamster wheel here, where nurses just can’t get off,” said @ChrisFriese_RN prof @UMichNursing.

There's a 30-year gap in the life expectancy of Black and white Chicagoans depending on their zip code.

That disparity has its roots in government-sanctioned policies that extracted wealth from Black neighborhoods, journalist Linda Villarosa says.

"There's so many traffic infractions that any time you drive, you commit one. And that gives police an extraordinary amount of power, and we know that they selectively use this power against Black and brown people," says Georgetown Law's Paul Butler. https://t.co/vwGa1treFu

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Amazon’s line they’re simply “following the law” by paying no taxes ignores the obvious fact that in 2017 Amazon had 64 different tax lobbyists pushing for the Trump tax cuts. They’re not passive aw shucks “taxpayers”, they’re the second biggest spender on lobbying in Washington!
