In New York City, there is not a single public library left that is open 7 days a week anymore.
When it comes to our City budget, we cannot be penny-wise and pound-foolish by cutting critical programs that people rely on.
#NoCutsToLibraries
I am committed to @NYCCouncil’s demand for the restoration of $58.3M cuts to NYC libraries! Cuts threaten vital services, library workers, and our communities. We must prioritize universal access and 7-day service. #NoCutsToLibraries

Towards multiracial democracy, health as a human right, and a healthy sustainable planet, as embodied achievable (maybe even joyful!) realities rather than abstract policy or utopian ideals 🙏 #fogodechaoforall @chrislhayes @AnandWrites
Thanks to Anand Giridharadas, Chris Hayes and the BK Book Festival for a refreshingly constructive conversation about envisioning the progressive future we need— helped stave off Sunday scaries & doomscrolling! @BKBF

By the way, the fact that Trump is not being put in handcuffs, held in a cell, or otherwise violently & unnecessarily abused by police & court officers is a good thing. We should all demand the unnecessary violence of shackling & caging people before arraignment be limited.

Longer life expectancy is not the only outcome one would hope for from a country that spends far more than any other on health care per person. But, it is a compelling one, and we’re failing miserably.

BFD!
North Carolina leaders have reached a deal on Medicaid expansion, which will open the door for hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians to gain coverage. When adopted, NC will become the 4th state to expand Medicaid under @POTUS.
As the President would say: This is a big deal.

Mariame Kaba: “Hope is a discipline.”
Paul Farmer: “You fight the long defeat.”
James Stockdale: Combine “the need for absolute, unwavering faith that you can prevail” with “the discipline to begin by confronting the brutal facts.”
These are my touchstones. 8/

With #COVID19, many beloved community libraries shut down in-person operations. In Arizona, however, @pchd's county library reinvented itself with PIH's help: it turned a page to become a pandemic response hub. 📚➡️🚑

While we, as a nation, consider how to help refugees from Ukraine, the administration must stop blocking other #AsylumSeekers under the guise of Public Health.
Great piece by PIH leaders, calling on @CDCgov and @POTUS to reverse course on Title 42:

Essential that we don’t let up the fight to ensure *sustained* investment in the US public health workforce, including community health workers
I had a chance to highlight the work of colleagues and allies working on building a #PublicHealth workforce.
Congress passed some of the funds we needed for a down payment in the American Rescue Plan but we need more funding to build back beyond #COVID19: news.bloomberglaw.com/health…
