Something surprising I’ve learned in the past week:

Many pro-choicers tell me that life beginning at conception has *no* impact on their view. For them, it’s a matter of who is best fit to make decisions in the pregnancy. And it’s always the mother, never the government.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

This is an outrageous story.

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

Random fact: Wegmans qualifies for D.C.’s supermarket incentive program, which gives markets a 10-year break on property taxes, because it’s located in a census tract that was considered low-income under federal definitions. (It’s also right up the street from a Giant.)

In the last year, rents are up 12%. Home prices are up 23%.

It's not the 25-cent burger price increases that are killing people. It's that 40% of their income is now going to a private equity landlord and they have no shot at saving up for a house to build wealth.

This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for Congress. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.

COVID is killing rural Americans at TWICE the rate of people in urban areas.
The pandemic is devastating rural America, where lower vaccination rates are compounding the already limited medical care: @NBCNews

A judge doubled this woman’s bail because she said ‘yeah’ instead of ‘yes’

NEW: The workers who make Oreos and Chips Ahoy are on strike — and they’re calling on consumers to boycott.

Mondelez, the snack conglomerate that owns Nabisco, wants them to work 12-hour days & weekends with no overtime pay.

Factory workers could lose up to $40K a year.

@AskLyft Just received an email re/ Health Safety Feedback, suggesting that I was not wearing a mask. I wore a mask for the entirety of my ride, nose and mouth covered. I saw no options to dispute this accusation in your pro-forma feedback options. #annoyed is an understatement.

OTD in 1896, Suffragist Mary Church Terrell co-founded & was the first president of the National Association of Colored Women in D.C. with the goal of promoting equality for Black women. ✊🏽

@NACWC1896 became the largest federation of local black women’s clubs. 📸ACM Collections

Insanity.

This is 76 yr old Gwen Levy who was returned to prison for not answering a call from her federal probation officer while in this computer class. They told her lawyer, “because she could have been robbing a bank, [we’re] going to treat her as if she was robbing a bank.”

Who is the new hire at VDOT? ❤️

[Andre M. Perry @andreperryedu]

Regardless of post-graduation incomes, Black households carry more student debt, which pushes down their creditworthiness. Unsurprisingly, Black people with a college degree have lower homeownership rates than white high school dropouts. https://t.co/ubbEPm389I

[Sayed Tabatabai, M.D. @TheRealDoctorT]

Practicing medicine in America, I’m always aware of the price tag.

Two thirds of American bankruptcies are related to healthcare costs.

It’s always there, a gnawing thought…

Medicine that can crater economic realities and futures, is not medicine.

It’s just another disease.
