We’re coming up on a debt ceiling crisis. Best we understand how we got here and what’s truly at stake. #CivicsWithSass

So you are 96% likely to walk/sit by/ breathe the air of someone infected while flying. You can choose to rely only on air filtration (which helps on a running plane- NOT in TSA, boarding, etc), but this ends debate on utility of N95 use during air travel. audacy.com/wwjnewsradio/n…

House Dems condemn political violence and hatred. Extreme MAGA Republicans joke about it. Do better.

I went to @OldNavy today and there wasn’t a single item in the store that was my size. I had heard this happened from other fat folks, >1 year after Old Navy’s short-lived “inclusive sizing” launch. While seeing this was upsetting, what I learned from management was worse..🧵

Nurse (also fat): Let's get your weight Me: No thanks! N (concerned): Do you weigh at home? Me (cheerfully): Nope! N (very confused); What do you do then? Me: Deep breath...brief explanation of weight neutral health N (excited): You can do that?! Me: Yup! (Gives resources)

"This will fall on the poorest women in our country. This will fall on young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest." Please watch this video. @ewarren is channeling the rage we are all feeling right now. Thank you, @SenWarren.

The prophet has spoken once again: expect a new variant to drop any day now. (Also please continue to wear masks at gatherings)

Monica Gandhi on @NPR’s All Things Considered urging gathering without masks as hospitalizations are low. “We’re in a different phase… we have the tools… there are treatments for those who are immunocompromised.” Host thanks her happily for this reassurance. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The covid-19 threat is still real. We need all NYers to do this: * Everyone, with symptoms or not: #GetTested * If you test positive & are called by a contact tracer: #TakeTheCall * If a tracer says you've been exposed: #BeSafeAndQuarantine * And everyone still: #WearAMask

Heads up-unverified reports of white nationalist groups such as the Proud Boys dressing as Antifa and infiltrating Seattle and Portland protests.

Generations of pain.

Please stop conflating the intentions of a protester with that of a looter. Most of the people protesting aren’t looting. Law enforcement has been caught staging “looting sprees,” to incite participation. Stop using the looter narrative to justify your apathy toward Black pain.💯

Nearly 20 years later, we still take off our shoes at the airport because 3,000 Americans were killed in a terrorist attack. 100,000 Americans--and counting--have died in this crisis, but staying home and wearing a mask in public is considered too big a sacrifice to make.
