If you’re protesting next weekend (🎉) this weekend you should:

1. Find a friend who isn’t planning to attend and make sure they know your protest plan

2. Drop a good Know Your Rights resource in the group chat

3. Spend a minute with your phone settings so you’re prepped for good digital safety

Little man I have nannied since birth turned 5 yesterday and what a great little human he is becoming. He is so empathetic, loving, funny, smart, and addicted to navigation. I am so proud of him for rolling with the punches of life with grace and finding joy in the little things. 💙

Jeffries: "Millions of people in this country are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck ... and Donald Trump is publicly defending accepting a $400 million flying palace from a close ally of Iran and Hamas? I mean, you can't make this stuff up."

My face is all red from running bc it’s hot out and the nurse was like “…did you just run here?” I was like “yeah 😅😅” and she’s like okay so BP might be a little high… and then she takes it and… 121/79.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13.

I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.
