Researchers who study Type 2 diabetes have reached a stark conclusion: There is no device or drug powerful enough to counter the effects of poverty, pollution, stress, a broken food system, cities that aren't walkable, and inequitable access to healthcare. https://t.co/aQUve1pQW1

BEWARE THIS IS A SCAM ACCOUNT @MOHELAHELP

This account slid into the DMs of a borrower yesterday who tweeted @MOHELA to get information about her #pslf waiver application & they told her she need to pay $1900 to complete her transfer from FedLoan.

I've been thinking a lot about this DeSantis Martha's Vineyard thing, and finally realized why I'm so viscerally scared by it. He put people on the modern day equivalent of cattle cars by falsely promising them work. His buddies at DHS falsified the records so that these LEGAL

The SC House will consider an all-out ban on abortion next week. We need to show up to the State House and make our voices heard!

Until you start explaining all the damage that an abortion ban can mean for the women of SC, you may think an abortion ban just prevents abortion. But no. It’s multi-layered and can impact all aspects of women’s lives. Here’s how:

I keep seeing people say that last night was the 'Ugliest Night In Oscar History'

Hattie McDaniel was only let into The Oscars as a favour to her white agent, where she sat at a table in the far corner, alone, separated from the other cast & crew, for an award SHE WON.

Utah's Republican Governor Spencer Cox, as he vetoes a ban on trans athletes passed by the state legislature, notes 75,000 high school athletes and only four are transgender. "Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few."

42 y.o. Tammel Esco punched a 67 y.o. Asian woman over a hundred times as she returned home. He foot-stomped her and spat on her. He called her racial slurs. This attack was without provocation. https://t.co/F0EUaU2tN3

If Yemen was 100 people:

- 80 need aid to survive.
- 70 have almost nothing to eat.
- 66 have no access to health care.
- 58 are without clean water.
- 15 are severely malnourished.

But Yemen is not 100 people.

It’s 30.5 million people.

Sen. Mitt Romney on CNN: "How anybody in this country which loves freedom can side with Vladimir Putin, who is an oppressor, a dictator ... He's been an adversary of America at every chance he's had. It's unthinkable to me. It's almost treasonous."

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Putin and his oligarch friends don't want you to see these images. Participating in an anti-war march in an authoritarian country is no small thing. It requires enormous courage. These very brave people deserve our respect and gratitude.

2020: Breonna Taylor was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

2022: Amir Locke was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

In the two years in between? The Senate didn’t even bring the bill to ban no-knock warrants to a vote.

The whole system is guilty.
