Yup. Big whooping cough outbreak in the school where my son teaches b/c of weak vaccine uptake.

Bardβs President Should Resign Today

Amazing. This is the only thing that has cheered my up today.
100% agree. H&H should be at the forefront of filling these gaps in care. Mayor and team need to be proactive and treat this with the urgency it warrants.
This program was v important to my family. I first heard you speak at a DSA event in support of trans rights and GA healthcare. I was so inspired & became a supporter. My daughter & I are waiting to hear from your admin. about concrete steps you're taking to ensure access to care for trans youth.
Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully β and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.
Thanks for the gift link. This is horrific.
This is really horrific. Their website has also scrubbed all mention of previous trans youth healthcare, including in providers' bios. It's Orwellian.
Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

Can relate. Also super sensitive to all meds.
Oh weird. Levalbuterol is supposed to be gentler than straight albuterol. i used to use it.
"As stated in the syllabus..."
LOL. The behavior updates from daycare/preschool are hilarious. The favorite one I ever received was: "James is a very sweet child but needs to stop licking his teachers' faces."
Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We donβt have to be this country. We donβt have to live this way.
Donald Trump was a choice, Republican voters made for us.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
βLifelessβ¦ foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.β
ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldnβt breathe.
The βif she had complied, sheβd still be aliveβ line that weβre hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.
It's always good to have a charcuterie platter on hand in case Jesus drops in unannounced.
This is a wonderful initiative! Kudos to our mayor and to Under the Radar Festival for making it happen.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Goodβs vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
I'm pretty sure that kid meant to say that her glasses look extremely cute and smart. Perhaps a mean spirited alien hijacked said "friend's" brain momentarily. In any case, glasses rule and haters drool. ;)
When you get pepitas stuck in your HEPA filter.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eveβthen steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for foodβtaking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Devastating. Was grading my own students' final papers, took a break and saw that my college roommate's son at Brown is okay but terrified. As a professor and a mom to college-aged kids, this feels so close. And so heartbreaking.
MINNEAPOLIS: βAll I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is whatβs happening to a πΊπΈ citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.β
Ugh. So sorry.
Ha! Me too, now. Signed, mom of 17 yo and fellow professor.
Freeing myself from the obligation to travel. Driving hours to family worked until I had a child with extreme motion sickness. It took courage to switch it up but we created new traditions and the OG fam sometimes even travel to us. Traditions should be an anchor not a straightjacket.
