@annehelen on the Delta Variant and Covid burnout: “Trying to have these conversations again already is like trying to run a half-marathon the day after you’ve run a marathon.” via @washingtonpost https://t.co/POMDOijYSc
As Black History Month begins today, we remember and honor those who have come before, and we work to build a brighter future for all who follow in their steps. Our ongoing charge is to build a more just and inclusive America.
Putting Kamala Harris as VP into perspective.See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved.See the blue box? Until then, she couldn’t vote. Yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school.
The green one? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account
joymining, hopescrolling, gleefreshing - i love it all! anything is better than doomscrolling. i hope is that, now that the Trump drama has subsided (for the most part), people will stay engaged in the long run + continue to champion the causes that matter #BidenHarris
“If you have ever been confused about the term “privilege” being used with respect to conversations regarding racial injustice, please refer to TODAY” - @Karamo#CapitolBuilding
It’s a mistake to see this as some kind of last desperate gasp. It’s the opposite. Fascists storming the capitol tells you how committed they are to violence, and how little they think of democracy. This isn’t an end. It’s the new beginning Trump wanted all along.
If you are partying, gathering in groups or traveling for leisure right now, I am no longer ashamed to say that I’m judging you...and this is why. How much worse does it need to get before people put their selfishness aside? Does your Instagram photo op matter THIS much? #COVID19

With that said, stop being so concerned with your “rights” and think about other humans, mainly our frontline healthcare workers and the people dying because of your need to go brunch with your friends or wanderlust in Tulum. This is out of control.
(1/2) If this doesn’t wake people up, I don’t know what will. Stop being so inconsiderate/selfish and 1) wear a mask, 2) stop traveling for recreational purposes, and 3) hunker down and stay the hell home. Too many people are suffering, too many people are dying.
Breaking News: Winter will be “the most difficult time in the public health history of this nation” unless more people follow precautions, the CDC director said. https://t.co/HVKaI3MEvp
(+2/2) ...since the day the pandemic started + going to @SoulCycle the day it opened back up. Before criticizing those making efforts to curb Covid, ask yourself: have I followed every single “rule” + taken every precaution? Most people can’t answer that question honestly.
