Poverty is a policy choice. Mass incarceration is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. Insulin rationing is a policy choice. Climate disintegration is a policy choice. Billionaire tax loopholes are a policy choice. Make no mistake: We have the power to change things.
In the 1960s, CEOs made 20 times the pay of their workers. Now, they rake in over 300 times. When people stop believing they have a fair chance to make it, the tacit social contract begins to unravel. That's how a nation becomes susceptible to demagogues like Donald Trump.
In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate

I keep a photo of Harriet Tubman next to my desk to remind me that Tubman did not spend her limited time debating the ethics of slavery with slaveholders. Harriet Tubman spent her limited time getting people free.
Weekly U.S. COVID update: - New cases: 74,260 est. - Average: 95,774 (-18K) - States reporting: 50/50 - In hospital: 9,285 (-1K) - In ICU: 1,407 (+5) - New deaths: 905 - Average: 1,134 (-188) 1/8
905 Americans were killed by C0VlD last week. It’s the first time in 30 weeks with fewer than 1000 deaths. It’s the 38th straight week with 500+ deaths. 25,000+ deaths in 2024. It is not normal or acceptable for this much easily preventable death.
Working today due to an overflow of patients and here is a very important case: 👉 49-year-old old previously healthy man who ends up with #NSTEMI. Cardiac cath is negative, he is discharged on a beta blocker only. 👉 Following this event, he developed daily symptoms of headache,…
H5N1 bird flu found at Texas poultry plant owned by Cal-Maine Foods, the largest producer of fresh eggs in the U.S. 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets are being culled. USDA says safely handled and properly cooked eggs are safe to eat.
Why are we talking about whether paying fast food workers a better wage will drive up the cost of a Big Mac instead of asking how much McDonald's CEO's $17.8M salary is driving up the cost?
Researchers estimate that if the top 1% of Americans paid the full amount of taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion a year. That’s just UNPAID taxes. Not new or higher taxes. How about we make them pay their fair share and use the money to invest in the American people?
Paxlovid costs $13.88 to make a 5 day course, they charge $1390. Remdesivir costs $4.65 to make a 5 day course, they charge $780. The charges aren't much lower outside the USA on the NHS or other health systems. Private Healthcare needs to be destroyed.

20K Followers 13 Following Tracking Ron Desantis's Jet / Florida State Gov't Jet (N943FL) Using public ADS-B Data by @Jxck_Sweeney Delayed by 24 hours to comply with Twitter RulesMy thoughts on the wave of campus protests happening across the country.
I, as a disabled therapist, am reminding you that you don't have a mental illness for taking COVID precautions. There's no such thing as "COVID anxiety." This is a BSL 3 pathogen that spreads through the air. It can cause severe damage to your body. It's normal to not want this.
Corporate income tax rate before the Trump tax cuts: 35% After the Trump tax cuts: 21% What many corporations actually paid with loopholes: 14% What Netflix, Bank of America, and Nike paid: Less than 5% What Trump’s planning for a second term? Even more corporate tax cuts.
Morning thoughts: 1. Trump could well win in November. 2. Trump will seek to govern as the authoritarian leader of a populist and anti-liberal movement. 3. The guardrails, formal and informal, of liberal democracy are weaker than they were. I'm alarmed.
6/ In an apparent cautionary note to Michael Cohen, who has been aggressive on Twitter, the Judge says he's protective of Trump's 1st Am right to engage in political speech & not permit the gag order to be used as "a sword instead of a shield by potential witnesses."
5/ The Judge rejects Trump's claim his posts are permissible political speech, writing that just because Trump says they are "does not make them so," & Trump's claims that attacking witness credibility is political would be "an exception that swallowed the rule" if allowed.
1/ In court this morning Judge Merchan says Trump can attend his son's graduation and then slaps him with fines for contempt on 9 of 10 violations prosecutors alleged.
Call me crazy but I don't think people who shoot their dog or say they could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue should be President or VP.
Let me be clear: Antisemitism is horrific and vile and has no place in this country. But it is not antisemitic to want to stop an illegal war. Netanyahu is trying to deflect attention away from the horrendous situation his right-wing, extremist government has created in Gaza.
Good to catch up with Baltimore Mayor Scott again. Since the first hours of the tragic Key Bridge collapse in March, he has been a great partner to our federal response. We will continue to support Baltimore for as long as it takes.
Here is Judge Merchan’s Order: nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/pre…
Trump must also take down the 9 offending posts by 2:15 pm ET today, April 30th.
Katie’s Sidebar: Judge Merchan exercised his discretion in only fining Trump. I suspect that when (not if) Trump violates again, Merchan will be more inclined to put Trump into custody, escalating the punishment. It’s giving Trump enough rope to hang himself.
Recall: Under NY law and procedure, the moving party (in this case the prosecution) must meet their burden to have someone held in contempt. And the punishment is a fine of $1000 or jail up to 30 days or a combo of both.
NEW: Judge Merchan now rules on the gag order violations: On #2 and 3 in the first motion: the court finds that the People have met their burden and Trump is fined $1000 for each of those. #4-10 in the second motion: the court finds that the People have also met their burden…
Every bit as morally bankrupt as I've always believed he was.
Bill Barr, who said Trump shouldn't be near the Oval Office, now says he'll vote for Trump in 2024. Mitch McConnell, whose wife Trump attacked with racist slurs, now says he'll vote for Trump in 2024. Ron DeSantis, who was viciously attacked by Trump for more than a year, will…
@AfricanArchives “I’m not leaving until I get these books.” In 1959, police arrived at the segregated Lake City Public Library in South Carolina. A 9-year-old black boy refused to leave until his books were checked. This determination to gain knowledge would lead him to both triumph and tragedy.…
