Today we celebrate 151 years of Golden Gate Park. This past year the iconic park has enveloped and embraced San Franciscans, offering a place of refuge amidst a global pandemic. 1,017 acres to run, play, laugh, reflect, and connect. #HappyBirthdayGGP
I’m not disagreeing with this directive. But there are so many people who’ve been subjected to hate/death on this site, and this didn’t seem to apply to them.
Rep. @AOC: "I started rolling our campaign donations into food pantry and into other support donations -- so we're taking the money that you all donated... and converted them into meals."
Happy birthday #GoldenGatePark! 150 has never looked so good! Thanks to all of the partners, supporters, staff & more who have built this park from desolate sand dunes into a sprawling oasis of nature & recreation over the years!
Our medical professionals are heroes putting their lives on the line to keep our country going. Here's a look at how an ER doctor who already fought on the front lines of one crisis makes it through a day in this one. A good reminder for us to help them out by staying home.
Thank you everyone for your incredible messages of support and encouragement.♥️
Many of you asked what it was like in the ER right now. I want to share a bit with you. Please RT:

Ten years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law. It protected preexisting conditions, cut the uninsured rate in half, and lots more. But it's still under political attack right when we need care the most. We have to protect it, build on it, until we cover everyone.
I’m calling on the Federal Government to nationalize the medical supply chain.
The Federal Government should immediately use the Defense Production Act to order companies to make gowns, masks and gloves.
Currently, states are competing against other states for supplies.
The last time I remember them suspending constitutional rights in this country during a national emergency, I was 5 years old. I was sent to an interment camp with my family, without trial or due process, for four years. #NeverAgain https://t.co/RX2riVH6oj
