Trump has *already* said he is ready to work with Democrats. Democrats have control of the House and Senate now. Let's get these student loan payments paused/canceled somehow @TheDemocrats.
Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

We could easily replace plastics in a million different applications, but then we would be forced to live in a much more beautiful, interesting, & healthy world and we can’t have that now can we
If you only read one article about our predicament, let it be this one.
By 2050, it's estimated 95% of the world's soils will be degraded.

I’ll repeat.
MASKING is the best way to prevent #COVID, #LongCOVID, death, & disability.
Vaccination helps protect against “severe acute illness & hospitalization.” If you get COVID- you can still develop Long COVID, disability, & death.
