NENA salutes @SF_emergency’s Heather Grimes, whose quick thinking helped save @SpeakerPelosi’s husband when he called 911 and left the line open during a home invasion.

Grimes dispatched police, who captured the suspect while the incident was in progress. #911Hero

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Last year, a GOP Congressman shared a depiction of himself killing me. When the House rose to censure, @GOPLeader defended him.

Yesterday, a man sharing that member’s rhetoric tried to assassinate the Speaker and her spouse.

What has @GOPLeader said? Nothing. This is who he is.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Every single Republican member of Congress voted against the support for law enforcement in the American Rescue Plan. Every single one.

This thread explains why I continue to wear a mask (and, it’s not just to protect myself! It also protects the people I’m with in case I turn out to be one of the 6.5% of asymptomatic carriers of COVID).

Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 838
The die is now cast: BA.5 is destined to be our dominant virus.
In today’s 🧵I discuss the implications on the course of the pandemic, and how to think about responding.
(I use “BA.5” & not “BA.4/5” since BA.5 is poised to outrun BA.4.). (1/25)

Whenever I see someone ask if we’re expected to continue masking in healthcare settings forever, I immediately think of Semmelweis. The man who discovered that HCWs’ dirty hands were causing fever and death in patients.

@GailSimone My favorite is Albuquerque but I’m sure that’s not his objectively best original song. Dare to Be Stupid is catchier, for example.

@Yankees @SFGiants I’d love it if you did the same.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Your health decisions are yours to make.

It shouldn't be your boss, the government, or anyone else forcing you to make those decisions.

What an amazing gift to announce on Willie Mays’ 90th birthday. Bravo @giantscommunity!!!

“100% of my focus is on stopping this new administration.” -@LeaderMcConnell

This is exactly what he said in 2010. He doesn’t care about anything but his own power to obstruct. This will hurt Americans.

[Amethyst Uchida @amethystuchida]

@votevets @LeaderMcConnell Mr. McConnell, your job is to work on legislation for the good of the American people. 100% of your focus should be on that, not this opposition BS. You suck.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

If you are not aware of this voting “audit” going on in Arizona, it’s a serious tinfoil doll wearing a tinfoil hat vibe, like a troop of flat Earthers marching to protest the faked moon landing.

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

We need to release our stockpile of unused AstraZeneca vaccines now. In India alone, almost 350,000 COVID-19 cases were reported today. When people in India and elsewhere desperately need help, we can't let vaccines sit in a warehouse, we need to get them where they'll save lives

[Amethyst Uchida @amethystuchida]

@GailSimone Wiley says “Congrats” to the vaccine and “Hope you feel better soon!”

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Maybe it’s a radical idea, but I believe a job should lift workers out of poverty – not keep them in it.
