Come on California Democrats let’s pull this thing over the line. Return those ballots and tell 3 people you know to do the same.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

1/? Listen to this review explain June's mom from "The Handmaid's Tale". I think it describes the 92% of BW and 80% of BM perfectly! We tried for DECADES and GENERATIONS to tell white people what the GOP was doing. We were told we were "playing the race card".

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?

Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

I've cossed more international borders than most, been through checkpoints and searches and have trained human rights activists, journalists and others in staying safe in repressive regimes. In the past few days I've provided some friends with travel advice for no particular reason; here's a thread:

3 parts. Tom Homan threatened AOC with criminal charges for doing her job. She said, "nope" and he dropped it.

I know it's hard to stand up to authority, but standing up may just make them back down. Giving in may just mean getting more bullying.

Maybe this will help:

Just a reminder for folks in the back who don't realize this stuff is relatively 'new' and we could lose it all given who is in charge now...

For Women's History Month, we've come a long way, but we still have so far to go, and right now, things are back-sliding.

I’m going to say it now…
Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. If there’s no plan for a flu shot this year, we’re probably going to be in for a very rough Fall/Winter.

The small silver lining of this is it gives you time to prepare for what’s likely ahead for us.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist.

Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.

Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.

It's that simple.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Call your reps (find their numbers at reps.fyi). Say: "I'm a constituent, I'm calling because I just heard that NIH funding is going to hurt research and hospitals here in Ohio and I oppose this. What is [rep] going to do about it?"
NIH funding to Ohio supports billions of dollars of economic activity AND helps to ensure we have two of the nation’s top children’s hospitals.

Even if you don’t care about academic researchers, you should care about this! 🚨

Folks have asked and I’ve provided some articles a few times but here’s how I freeze the majority of my eggs for cooking and baking.

I use the muffin tins with silicone inserts because it allows me to freeze the eggs individually. 😂I’m not trying to guess at how many eggs are in bag or measure
