At a doctors office that just made me fill out on paper everything I already completed online. 😠 And then…
PA: What brings us in today?
Me: Us? You work here and I’m here to see the dr.

This photograph captures Harriet Tubman at her residence in Auburn, New York, in 1911, just two years prior to her passing. I only recently learned of her struggles with seizures, a result of a piece of metal lodged in her head.

As a teenager, Tubman endured a traumatic incident when a slaveowner struck her head with a 2-pound lead weight, originally intended for another fleeing slave. Tubman recalled this attack as "breaking my skull," leading to agonizing headaches and seizures that intermittently rendered her unconscious. Remarkably, despite these challenges, she remained dedicated to her work on the Underground Railroad and her service during the Civil War. Her reputation was so renowned that escaped slaves knew to wait patiently for her to regain consciousness if she ever collapsed, which she always did.

Additionally, Tubman carried a pistol, which she would wield when runaway slaves hesitated or considered giving up. With the pistol pointed, she presented them with a stark choice: continue their escape with her or face immediate death. Remarkably, she never lost anyone on the Underground Railroad.

After the Civil War, Tubman's efforts allowed her to contribute significantly to her community, aiding veterans and freed slaves. In the 1890s, she underwent brain surgery to remove the metal fragment from her skull. Surprisingly, she opted to forgo anesthesia, instead choosing to bite a bullet, emulating the Union soldiers she had seen endure amputations. In her own words, she described the procedure as the doctor "sawed open my skull, and raised it up, and now it feels more comfortable."

Years after her own escape from slavery, Tubman returned to rescue her enslaved husband, only to discover he had remarried and had no intention of leaving his new wife. Despite her initial frustration, Tubman chose not to create a scene and continued to lead numerous other enslaved individuals to freedom.

Her remarkable life came to an end in 1913, surrounded by friends and family. Her last words to those in the room were, "I go to prepare a place for you."

I never ask for a retweet y’all - but in honor of the 10th anniversary of my filibuster on 6/25 would y’all mind giving me one? We are coming together to celebrate and talk about how we move forward in a post Roe world. Would love it if you would share and come! ⬇️ @PPTXVotes

Bob Iger is completely out of touch if he thinks the unions are the ones being unrealistic here.

Me: How much does the military spend on Viagra each year?

Director of Defense Contracts: I don’t have that figured out.

Me: about $41.6 million.

Do you know how many bridges in my District of Pittsburgh could be repaired with that amount?

The AMPTP refused to make a fair deal on television, theatrical and streaming work covered by our TV/Theatrical Agreements. 

We didn't want a strike, but we are not afraid of a fight. We are #SAGAFTRAstrong!

For eight years, Dan Patrick has promised he’ll lower your property taxes.

Let me ask you—have your property taxes gone down or have they skyrocketed?

Do #mobpsycho100 fans know their favorite character has been recast because @Crunchyroll @SonyPictures refuse to even talk about a union contract? It's #justameeting.

“Let’s screw over sick veterans�� seems like an odd campaign platform. Of course it is also morally repugnant.
