50% of workers can't afford healthcare.

People are using buy now, pay later apps to go into debt to buy groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

… and Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion pay out.

And people think moms getting SNAP are the problem.

@borrowNOTrent I’m so sorry to hear 😭

My mom worked on the Florida abortion ballot initiative for nearly two years. She is besides herself. "We can't sustain raising 125k a month to help women travel. We won't be able to get them abortions." This is devastating.

The Library has the largest body of early Indigenous American music recordings in the U.S.: 10,000 wax cylinders of songs & stories. Those recorded by Francis La Flesche — the first professional Native American ethnologist & a member of the Omaha Nation — are among them. 🧵

Lisa Blunt Rochester won election to the U.S. Senate from Delaware, becoming the state's first Black and first woman to serve in the role.

She is the fourth-ever Black woman to serve in the Senate.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY.

Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.
