As we approach #America250, its important to remember:
it took 92 years to end slavery
it took women 144 years to win the vote
it took nearly 190 years for Black people to be guaranteed voting rights
it took nearly 240 years to legalize same-sex marriage
don't give up

This maniac will take our LIFE SAVING vaccines by either banning them, or making them unattainable by raising the prices dramatically or removing insurance coverage.
But, you better believe the wealthy and connected will be vaccinating their kids.

RFK Jr.'s anti-science agenda is not just a threat to public health, but also to our economy. His policies will drive up healthcare costs, reduce productivity, and harm businesses that rely on a healthy workforce. Tell your Senators to reject his nomination

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.

This is a great question for all of congress to think about.
Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?
Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

I wonder how much the dissolution of FEMA and cancellation of flooding infrastructure programs is going to increase insurance premiums?
Especially as the population ages, inflation spikes, and a large % of housing stock is used as short term rentals in high risk areas.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
