One of my uncles was kidnapped by ICE yesterday. He was always there for my family and even helped my family afford my graduation party when I graduated college. 💔
Anything helps. ICE has no humanity. Hard workers literally being torn from their families.

We also have to make reading less "precious" ie we need to make it clear that there are many ways to "read" and for example that audiobooks count as books.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

Trump lived off Russian mob money. He invaded Venezuela for the oil.
He's a gangster who claims, "American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again."
You don't get it Donnie.
Canadians understand thugs. We will fight you and your criminal nation every step of the way.

Not too late for your flu jab!
No tolerance for fear-mongering, but the US is in a #seasonalflu surge. H3N2 subclade K is expected antigenic drift, but H3 seasons do tend to be harder. Flu shots still help, esp against severe disease. Now’s the time to layer protections against exposure, not "immune-boosting" hacks #EpiSky #IDSky
