Friendly reminder - you dont owe anyone info about your health and your body. You have the right, just because you are a person, to tell other people, "I don't want to talk to you about this." Even if they keep asking for more. Even if they care. Even if they are friends & family

12 reasonable people.

12 people randomly assembled had no trouble separating fact from fiction.

Kids aren’t old enough to vote so they represent no constituency; not old enough to work so they have no financial leverage. Their needs r neglected on levels we don’t even begin to grapple with as a society; we see the consequences all around us but refuse to address their cause

.@KatiePhang on the Atlanta shootings: "This man got in his car and he went to these locations to target Asian women.

I think it was irresponsible for law enforcement to put into public ... the idea that this guy had a sex addiction and had a bad day."

The Stockton study is still ongoing, but it already shows that unconditional cash payments help recipients find work, build financial stability, and relieve stress — all while stimulating the economy.

One of the worst things about extreme income inequality is how many people don’t see enough of other people’s circumstances. It’s too easy to dissociate from the reality of someone else’s life if you never see them and never know them. Empathy decreases and numbness takes over.

In this time GOP's held the WH for 12 yrs.

Bc dead slaveowners who didn’t want property counted as full humans demanded an Electoral College.

The Lincoln Memorial has always been a symbol of hope for me. It was the place I found solace before my neurosurgeries, it was the place I dreamed about being well enough to climb, and it was the place I dreamed about bringing my daughter to. Seeing it like this is heartbreaking.

[Martha Raddatz @MarthaRaddatz]

Your Lincoln Memorial this evening.
