I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

MAGA is big mad that Mark Cuban told the ladies on The View this about Donald Trump:
“You never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever.”

"[B]etween 2011 and 2022 alone, Black land-grant universities lost nearly $200 million in resources because states declined to provide them with matching funds, while fully funding their predominantly white counterparts," according to a new report.

The #SupremeCourt has shown us (again) exactly who they are + where we are as a country. Do not look away. The impacts of these decisions are seismic. Love the whole thread @DrQuinnCapers4 “So, tonight we lick our wounds, pause, pray, and wake up ready to get back in the fight.”

Doulas deserve a living wage. We can not continue to say we stand for Black maternal health rights and justice if we do not fund and support the people serving Black families. Let's push for the $1930 Medicaid reimbursement rate NOW. #PayEquity4Doulas | tinyurl.com/NYdoulas

I am living with a terminal disease. I am also a patient advocate.
I am a damn good advocate, but I need your help. The more followers I have, the more I can get government and pharma to pay attention.
So my ask is: Will you follow me so we can change the world?
