Oh be angry! Just focus that anger on the righteous demand to change laws and practices that do not protect and serve us all equally. Turn that anger into action! Peaceful more powerful! That is and always has been the work. It’s hard and it matters!

[Kaveh MD @thehouseofpod]

Amazing how angry I can be about something we all saw coming.

[Shematologist, MD @acweyand]

Angry, outraged, sad, sadly not surprised.

The Rittenhouse case has pulled back the curtain on profound cracks in our justice system — from deep bias routinely and unabashedly displayed by the judge, to apathy of officers who witnessed Rittenhouse’s actions and did nothing.

[ACLU @ACLU]

The death penalty is cruel and inhumane.

It has no place in a society that values human dignity and justice.

A cop slapped a handcuffed man dying of a drug overdose. Called him a “bitch.” Shoved a baton in his mouth. That cop got suspended 6 days. But the cop who revealed the cruelty was expelled from the cop union. Now faces 20 years prison for whistleblowing. https://t.co/VUprRJbyTp

Seven years ago today I walked out of the hospital after surviving Ebola.

That day at a news conference—my knees shaking—I begged the world to focus on the still-raging outbreak in West Africa. Instead, when the immediate threat was over, we moved on.

Years later, Covid hit 🧵

Why isn’t this missing child a household name?
A mother murdered. Her toddler missing. And the family left to search for her year after year

This election is about lifting up all Virginians and protecting our democracy. Virginia, let’s choose a better way.

[Patagonia @patagonia]

Patagonia stopped all paid advertising on Facebook platforms in June 2020 because they spread hate speech and misinformation about climate change and our democracy. We continue to stand by that boycott 16 months later.

“There’s simply not an acceptable # of child deaths when such effective & safe preventive treatments are available. So,for the same reason pediatricians recommend seatbelts and car seats, we are recommending vaccines for Covid-19. https://t.co/VaK4Nen1xa
