There’s an urgent need for blood in the aftermath of the Brown University shooting

If you can give, please do

If you can’t, please spread the word

Its terrifying to think how bad this shooting might be if they need an urgent call for blood, but the more people donating the more lives we can save
I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC.

There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI.

Spread the word.

LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, BULLHORNS ARE THERE. Areas targeted by ICE are being informed by neighbors of their rights.

People are literally walking around with bullhorns telling people not to open their doors and what their rights are. We love to see it.

As kids get sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, pneumonia, & more, while masks, clean air and the pandemic are pointedly never mentioned.

Kids keep getting sicker as evidence for COVID immune damage builds
As the press pushes "immunity debt" past the breaking point of believability, are parents ready to wake up to the illness crisis?

As someone who is generally suspicious of purity tests, I will say this:

Nobody forced Newsom to take those positions.

It's not like he was in a tight race, fighting for his life, and then the question was put to him in a debate.

He CHOSE to host a rabid transphobe on his OWN FUCKING PODCAST.
I’ve had a few people ask “oh, so is disagreeing with Gavin Newsom on trans athletes a PURITY TEST?”

And yes, protecting trans people from discrimination is a vital purity test.

It is pathetic and disgusting how many people who claim to be Democrats are failing it.

And, uh, I dunno what others are like but we desperately need more participation from people Gen X and younger. Even Boomers!

I consulted with several yacht biologists and apparently yachts just do this some times, it may look sad but it's a natural part of their life cycle
Three yachts were swallowed by fires early Friday after witnesses described a massive explosion in northwest Miami-Dade.

Yep, this is where they use Americans' tax money to pump their own crypto holdings and then sell out their holdings for personal gain.

Knew this was coming but I figured they would probably wait a few months. Why on Earth I figured that, I don't know.
A heist in broad daylight. Hundreds of billions, with no benefit to taxpayers.

All while pretending we are broke and slashing health care and food for the most vulnerable.

Robin Hood in reverse.

What takes this hilariously over the top is them both completely ignoring the existence of women AND making it immutable without a supermajority.
