🗣️BREAKING: We will be filing a lawsuit to defend transgender youth and their constitutional right to receive medically necessary healthcare.

HB 68 is not only cruel; it violates the Ohio Constitution and must be challenged.

WOOOW. A Canadian research project gave homeless people $7,500 each — the results were 'beautifully surprising'.

Turns out: basic income for the homeless pays for itself. It's free money, because 'the project saved the shelter system $8,100 per person'.

A lot of people are asking me about @OHdeptofhealth Director Dr. Amy Acton. From living in a tent while homeless to graduating medical school - she has an incredible story.https://t.co/2X3r6v15Bx

This is a Dr. Amy Acton appreciation post. She's smart, calm, cool, and collected. We're so lucky to have her as we combat the #COVID19 outbreak. #COVID19OhioReady #DrAmy #DrAmyActon

"It is that logarithmic spread of us to each other, even those amongst us who are healthy, for those of us who are most at risk."

Dr. Amy Acton, @OHdeptofhealth director explains why it is important for all people to take proper precautions to avoid getting & spreading COVID19.

What does the future look like if we do not get our act together?

Look at Australia burning before our eyes.

Look at the unprecedented wildfires in California.

Look at the increasing number of climate refugees around the world.

A Green New Deal is our moral responsibility.

1/ In @DemJournal I make the case against K-12 school districts.

School districts are tools of segregation and permanent inequality. To change that, we should adopt three policies:

1) Redistricting
2) National Funding
3) Decriminalization

Enslavement by another name. They make $1/hr + an extra $2/day. 72/hr shifts. Save Ca $90M a year. And they are protecting multimillion dollar homes.

None of them would be able to use the skills learned fighting fires to get a job as a fire fighter once their sentence is done.

We need better research and response systems for deadly disease outbreaks around the world.

Shutting down the federal pandemic tracking program is a step in the opposite direction. https://t.co/UMLCTi7bM3
