@Met_Ed Any kind of update?

[Hearst Magazines Media Union @HearstUnion]

Attention all Hearsties: Today, @Hearst Magazines released a social media policy that restricts our speech on our private social channels. Do not sign it! The @WGAEast legal team is looking it over and will be in touch about what comes next ✊

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model.
Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits

@timetravelnerd It is! So glad you liked it!

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

!!!!!!!!!!!!! @JNJNews, THANK YOU for choosing #PatientsNotPatents. Takes real guts to live up to your credo. Generic bedaquiline WILL BE AVAILABLE in almost every country with a high tuberculosis burden. I am so happy and grateful to the Stop TB Partnership, J&J, and especially the activists around the world who are standing up for TB patients. So much more work to do, but WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS TO WAKE UP TO.

Reminder: The tools that protect us from COVID — masks, air filters, and structural policies like expanded healthcare access — are the tools that we need to protect us from the climate crisis, which is causing a decrease in air quality and increase of disease outbreaks.

[Hearst Magazines Media Union @HearstUnion]

BREAKING NEWS: We have reached a deal! Details tk, but we're so proud of our awesome bargaining committee, @WGAEast organizers and staff, and our entire unit for reaching a historic win not just for @Hearst but for the entire media industry. Hearst has a union contract, world!

what a sentence

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

At the core of our democracy is a basic principle: the right to vote.

With it, anything is possible.

Vote today.

How do we know that #universe is expanding, exactly? In Part 2 of her explainer series, Continuum writer @jackieappel talks the methods we use to examine expansion ↓

Hello,

Republicans are mad because I am sharing this information. Too bad!

🚺⚧ Freedom of choice is an inalienable right. Your bodily autonomy belongs to you.

Leftists rage over injustice. The right rages over being asked to acknowledge anyone other than themselves; they live to punish and exclude. All anger isn't the same; the right is triggered by any hint of freedom or equality

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Voting is critical but alone it’s not enough. We will need to organize, strike, fill coffers of abortion funds, open our homes to help those seeking safe passage, and more to establish and defend our rights.

People have more power than they realize. It’s time we rediscover it.

[Lauren Leffer @lauren_leffer]

Some very relevant information:

[Jackie Appel @jackieappel]

We can protest. We can scream. We can make our voices heard. And we will. But until there are some major systemic changes, we will need a lot more than our own angry words and empty support from politicians to make actual change.

Mayor Eric Adams offered New York City as a safe haven to Americans seeking abortions after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/7yhcO3wczS
