“Earn a living” is such a horrifying phrase that we just accept as normal

I'm sorry, but @bariweiss and @billmaher can talk all they want about being "over" COVID and calling public health measures a "moral crime," but some of us have kids too young to vaccinate, and I'm sorry that their health is "inconvenient" to your clubbing and partying.

I don’t want to see any MLK quotes today from Republicans who tried to overturn 2020 election & throw out millions of Black & Brown votes, passed wave of new voter suppression laws to continue insurrection through other means & now blocking critical voting rights legislation

[Thomas Horrocks @thomaslhorrocks]

Tired: “I want to be wealthy so that I can be generous.”

Inspired: “I want a system so just that generosity from the wealthy is less necessary.”

If MLK Jr. were around today, Republicans would call him a communist. Don’t fall for their gaslighting today.

[Karl Rosenfeld @kneerecon]

Trumps and DeSantis are being called the two most important leaders of the Republican Party. And that my friends best defines their party.

Imagine finding out you have #cancer, going to one of the nation’s best hospitals , & finding out 40% of surgeries are being postponed due to #COVID19. The size & rate of growth of your tumor will decide when you get surgery. #Omicron doesn’t seem so mild there, does it?

[Fortesa Latifi @hifortesa]

something we don’t talk about enough is how chronic illness/disability makes ur body public property. pain is so fucking personal but u have to wear it right on ur sleeve for anyone to believe you
