‼️Apparently, the govt is clearing out its free Covid test stock. Minimum order is 300 RATs, max unknown, & you do not have to be an organization. PLEASE be mindful of resource distribution — maskblocs first, then individuals!

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

not to defend the robber barons but Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his era, gave away 90 percent of his wealth and funded the building of 2,811 libraries, and I’m afraid the current crop of oligarchs isn’t sending their best.

Today's fresh horror btw: the US is becoming a net importer of food.

Which is wild, because the US has probably the most high-quality farmland per person of any country on the planet. WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE FOLKS???

@SarahTaber_bww Can we get this information to the writers of @LastWeekTonight ? Because this story is a vast mine of human greed + human shortsightedness = comedy gold.

They are disappearing people now.

Before 1988, women were unable to get a business loan on their own. The Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 allowed women to get loans without a male cosigner & removed other barriers. The number of women-owned businesses increased by 31x in the last 4 decades

[no @zedonarrival]

this might read as an empty gesture but what it encourages is rolling back translation/interpretation access for gov’t services, benefits, and resources

It's interesting to note that Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 -- a period of time when Jeffrey Epstein's plane records became public, victims' lawsuits were filed and a lot of new evidence against Epstein surfaced. So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida.

After 46 days, 5,000 nurses at Providence, Oregon’s largest healthcare system, voted to end their historic strike.

Nurses won a 20-42% wage increase, break and meal pay, a working group for improved health benefits, and unified contracts for stronger solidarity across hospitals.

Huge cancer breakthrough! mRNA vaccine (similar to COVID vaccine tech) shows stunning results against pancreatic cancer! 75% of responsive patients STILL cancer-free at 3 yr, normally 80% recur. Could revolutionize treatment for one of deadliest cancers! Funded in part by @NIH

[Jeremy Konyndyk @JeremyKonyndyk]

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at @USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

BREAKING—FDA suddenly cancels meeting to update next season’s flu vaccines, with zero explanations. Any delays will jeopardize next year’s vaccine supply chain.

[Barry Hunt @BarryHunt008]

DO NOT REMOVE YOUR RESPIRATOR WHEN ENTERING A BATHROOM IN HEALTHCARE OR IN A PUBLIC SETTING

CREATED WHEN FLUSHJNG TOILETS & WASHING HANDS

BASIC SCIENCE

WELL EVIDENCED

CDC SHOULD KNOW THIS

[Laura Jedeed @LauraJedeed]

There are places in this country that serve as tactial testing grounds, places where you can see the future before it arrives. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before

Today, men without badges detained a woman for speaking during a town hall

Social Security isn’t an ‘entitlement’, it’s an EARNED benefit. We & our employers pay into it every paycheck. Doesn’t cost the govt a dime. Ending it would be outright theft, stealing $1.4 trillion of OUR money. Funny billionaires never mention the employer share. Wonder why.🤔
