Such actions fundamentally betray American values. Terrorizing communities to push political beliefs and agendas is, by definition, terrorism. Share if you agree.

"The point will be to force the generals to applaud such statements, to broadcast that applause—and thereby to signal to all their troops, and to the American public, that this is Donald Trump’s military.

It would be good not to send that message."

Remember: They Are Not His Generals.

Tomorrow’s gathering of hundreds of general and flag officers has an ominous tone about it. Attendees should go in prepared.

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: "California, DC, Memphis, potentially Illinois, now Oregon - this normalization that you can use the US military in our cities. That is un-American & every place that it happens, you will see Democratic attorneys general standing up, drawing a line in the sand & saying, 'No'"

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

“But I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!”

Yes. You do.

Many people are either in denial about being sick or feel pressured to hide their diagnosis.

There’s a lot of stigma attached to Long Covid because everyone wants to go “back to normal”

Denial doesn’t help, we must face the problem:

I Don't Know Anyone With Long Covid

Yes. You do. It might even be you. Let's take a look at why people don't realize, or can't admit, that they're dealing with Long Covid.

Telehealth is an essential accommodation for people with disabilities.

Going to an appointment can set back our baseline for days, not to mention the risk of getting COVID or another hospital acquired infection.

Great post below on how you can advocate to ensure Medicare doesn’t cut Telehealth

There's a Medicare telehealth cliff at the end of this month that will impact other health insurance plans beyond just Medicare.

This post ⤵️ will walk you through how to effectively advocate for telehealth in ways that actually influence the outcome...

The concluding paragraph of #ScienceUnderSiege
(www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/micha...)

And so we choose to do battle against the forces of darkness,
#ghting back against a malevolent movement that represents all that
is bad in the world— fascism, authoritarianism, racism, misogyny,
and bigotry— a movement that uses antiscienti#c disinformation as
its preferred weapon. We do this not because our success is guaranteed.
Given the forces mobilized against us, we are clearly the underdog.
And no white wizard will come to our rescue. But we have truth
and justice on our side. And the stakes simply couldn’t be greater. We
#ght for a livable planet, for us, our children, and future generations.
Because it’s worth #ghting for.8

When you get a vaccine or a medical checkup, we expect the healthcare worker to wash their hands and wear gloves.

We should think the same about wearing masks in medical settings. Viruses can spread pre-symptomatically; masks are another effective infection control measure.

$31 billion to prop up an industry that is destroying our planet.

Our government continues to put the interest and profits of the fossil fuel industry over the safety of Americans.
