I wrote a very literal love letter to @EssABagel ~2 years ago when they closed down (and sent it; no response :-/ ) https://t.co/QKlW2RRLE5

[Laura Vitaro @slowlauris]

@Iberia Thank you for replying, although we still aren’t able to resolve the issue through Alaska or Iberia after hours of time on the phone with Support. Someone at Alaska, (very kind woman! I wish I got her name!) said they “released” the ticket to but Iberia still can’t help.

[Laura Vitaro @slowlauris]

@AlaskaAir @Iberia hands down worst customer experience of my life. Can’t check in. Both airlines keep telling us to call the other and claim the other is operating the flight. Have called prob 10x. Can’t select seats. Can anyone out there help?

@UAGolf what are these pants Jordan Spieth is wearing at the British open? Want to get them for my boyfriend

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

I've seen enough: in a huge victory for the pro-choice side, the Kansas constitutional amendment to remove protections of abortion rights fails.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

So yeah, voting matters.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Quick reminder that the US Congress is 73% male and that’s the lowest it’s ever been, in case you want 1 small contributing glimpse as to why Roe hasn’t been treated w/ the urgency it deserved for ~50 years. (And why our politics are so gross towards women & LGBT+ people overall)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Let’s be real: there’s a WHOLE lot of men whose lives, careers, and families have benefited from an abortion (including several “pro-life” GOP Congressmen).

Men, we need you right now. You can get through in rooms others can’t. Your power matters. Speak up. This is about us all.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Abortion is legal in California.

It will remain that way.

I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.

We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

I can’t in good conscience recommend young women go to colleges in states where taking a morning after pill could make them a criminal. Pay attention ladies.

[Charles DeLoach @DeLoach_NC]

We need Democrats on every news channel across the country talking about abortion rights like this.

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

This isn't about where to draw the line; it's about who gets to draw it. The majority of Americans believe women should be the ones who make choices about their own bodies.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion - they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights.

Manchin is blocking Congress codifying Roe. House has seemingly forgotten about Clarence Thomas. These 2 points must change

IMPORTANT:

RAPID TESTS DO WORK WITH OMICRON

"But why are some people staying negative in the first days they have symptoms??"

This is expected. Symptoms don't = contagious virus
This is literally a reflection of the fact that vaccines are doing their job!

PLEASE READ

[Mike Birbiglia @birbigs]

I’ve always respected @Trevornoah so much but this closing speech from the White House correspondents’ dinner is particularly spectacular.

[Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician) @jeremyfaust]

Your interim reminder that if you get Covid, you ideally should *isolate until you test negative on two consecutive rapid antigen tests*.

You don’t need to bother checking until day 5 after you first test positive.

CDC guidance (5 days + improving symptoms) remains wrong.

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

Today's asymptomatic test pos. rate @UCSFHospitals: 2%. So 1/50 people w/ no symptoms of Covid is +.
At 2%, on flight of 150 people there's 95% chance that at least one passenger has Covid.
SF has a relatively low Covid rate, so odds on a US flight today are likely worse. #MaskUp

[Lucy McBride, MD @drlucymcbride]

Glad to explain how I’m using rapid antigen tests w/ my patients during this BA.2 wave of infections.

Rapid antigen tests = *contagiousness* tests

Thank you ⁦@Dave7News⁩ & ⁦@7NewsDC⁩ for inviting me on your show. ⁦@michaelmina_lab⁩

@hassankhan Whole wheat everything bro. Ask what’s hot though.

Ted Lasso continues to shine. Bravo to every writer and actor on this show. Please continue to remind us of the power of vulnerability, of connection, of self-respect, and that the intrinsic joys of community are greater than external rewards. Thank you Ted Lasso crew.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Texas has effectively banned a woman’s right to choose.

Passed the worst voter suppression law in the country.

And continue to push anti-science COVID laws that put lives at risk.

This could be the future of CA if we don’t vote NO on the Republican Recall by 9/14.

VOTE.
