Lots and lots of misogyny out there right now. Good lord. Gents, let me tell you something as a dude who married his high school sweetheart ~12 years ago: Support your significant other like they’re their own person, wholly apart from you. Because they are. Calm down. Be cool.

Today we hit 750,000 Americans lost to COVID19. We’re on trajectory to hit 800,0000 by year’s end. Those last 100,000+ maybe even 200,000 died unnecessarily because vaccines were widely available. They chose not to get vaccinated, sometimes even defiant. They died by antiscience – at Houston, TX

A top Australian official called out U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Twitter over the weekend after Cruz accused the country of “COVID tyranny” as it imposes new vaccine requirements. The official responded to Cruz, saying he knows “nothing about us.” bit.ly/2XohkXc

Today, we hope you join us in honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day. May we move past colonialist myths and move toward celebrating the historic and contemporary contributions of Indigenous peoples—and toward true reconciliation for past harms.

Damn, this was powerful.
This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for Congress. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.

Because of my job, I’m speaking to a lot of people opposed to vaccination requirements at work. One argument I hear is, well, vaccinated people can get COVID too. Statistically, that’s like saying sober people get in car accidents too, so there’s nothing wrong if I drive drunk.
