PLZ get vaccinated y'all. There's a new CDC Director who has 0 medical training, and the worm infested RFK is gutting access to vaccines. We don't need anymore vaccine preventable deaths.

Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.
"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."
This is getting out of control.

Read the words of disabled experts— journalists, tech and disability scholars, technology policy experts— on why Meta's "crip washing" of their surveillance tech pervert glasses is, in fact, bad for us all.
For @motherjones.com, I looked into how Meta could be using disabled people to promote its Meta glasses to the masses. As one expert told me, “companies have used accessibility...as a Trojan horse for a tool that poses significant privacy and security threats.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Is Meta using disabled people to promote its glasses?
AI glasses are a double-edged sword for disabled people, who face unique risks from surveillance.

CVS just told me that Louisiana will no longer require a prescription for COVID vaccines in the next 2 weeks. It has been such a hard year for public health down here due to our state being run by literal fascists. Thank God some sense (and access) is returning.

The way I personally need this to pass. Having worked at one, I can say these private equity owned places always prioritize money over patients. They are unsafe for patients but also for the clinical staff.
When I realized that, I quit immediately.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare.
The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.
