Take thirteen minutes, or bookmark this for later. This is from @ezraklein, taken from The Ezra Klein Show podcast. It explains precisely what this administration is doing and why it is essential to keep focus and not play into it. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

Replying to @Bb_menita03
Do you recommend it? It seems cringey to me based on clips, but the Kitty x Yuri stuff does seem interesting. I also watched the trailer for season 2, and it doesn't look as bad.

Fantastic to see more progressive politicians join efforts to pass a Long COVID funding bill. Long COVID is a health equity, racial justice, and economic justice issue. Thank you @IlhanMN, @AyannaPressley, @BernieSanders for your leadership! motherjones.com/politics/202…

oh as a disabled writer i am fucking furious about this disabled writers do not need the immoral theft machine to write because we lack the ability to be creative without plagiarism - encouraging AI is a slap in the face to all writers and this excuse is appallingly ableist
NaNoWriMo posted their new AI policy: nanowrimo.zendesk.com/hc/en-… Their official position seems to be that it's ableist and classist to not support AI in writing.

Update: The FDA has just authorized the new @Novavax COVID-19 vaccine! Details: fda.gov/news-events/press-an…
As a Councilmember in the County where Novavax is headquartered (and a Novavax recipient myself), I’ve seen the concerns about FDA approval. I reached out to @Novavax, who confirmed to me that they are in close, ongoing contact with the FDA and expect to have this done very soon.

We don't just minimize the risk of COVID. Humans minimize everything. Tobacco, alcohol, air pollution, capitalism, processed food, climate change, nuclear weapons, bird flu, car accidents, healthcare malpractice, slavery, genocide. This is the default. This is who we are.

Is anyone else going off of Twitter tonight at 8pm? Trump is desperate for attention and Elmo is desperate for engagements. Wouldn’t it be a shame if this BS propaganda interview with zero fact checking had no engagements ?

I’ll support this. I don’t believe in generating traffic for Elon to brag about tomorrow. Going private and silent tonight at 8pmET. #TwitterBlackout #BoycottElon
Are we all going silent during the Musk/Trump shitshow tonight?

A nasal COVID-19 vaccine blocks transmission of the virus, according to an animal study by WashU Medicine researchers. Findings suggest that vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a critical role in containing the spread of infection. medicine.wustl.edu/news/nasa…

Say it with me: I will support whomever Kamala Harris picks as VP because I understand the assignment.
