For the last few years, the Democratic strategy for engaging rural voters was, "Show up and listen."
Today's #SenateAg committee hearing showed that many Democrats took that advice seriously.
Now the 2022 rural strategy seems to be, "Show up with a plan and bring receipts.

Black women are more than 3x as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications.
Native American women are more than 2x as likely to die.
Women in rural America are about 60% more likely to die.
Our Build Back Better Act will do something about that.

Just finished watching #livingundocumented on Netflix. Regardless of your political views, this is a must see documentary following 8 families who are caught in our current immigration policy nightmare. Educate yourself, have empathy, and feel empowered to spread #truth.

Inclusion of Black, Hispanic/Latino, & Native American communities in #COVID19 research is needed in order to develop vaccines & treatments that work for everyone. Trials should be as diverse as the people at risk for the disease: go.usa.gov/xfShb #CNNTownHall #NIH

A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.
Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.
I am honored and ready to serve.

Like other epidemics (tobacco, opioids, fast food), COVID starts with the wealthy who travel and are trendy (also us). Then it spreads among the poor. Action protects the rich. Once protected, notenough is done for those left behind, sad how epidemic disparities repeat themselves

I wonder if the higher prevalence of smoking in Europe is a major factor explaining the high number of severe #COVID19 cases and deaths in Europe, in particular in Spain. This will be another of the many important lessons for us to learn from this tragedy.
"Here’s what we already know: In a small study of about 80 corona patients, those who smoked were 14 times more likely to have serious illness." Learn more about the effects of smoking on coronavirus outcomes from @yaelbarzeev 👇

How terrible that an e-cigarette company, created to help adult smokers quit, reached out to populations that have extremely high smoking rates.

In her study, Assistant Professor Silvia Balbo found that just 15 minutes of vaping produces compounds that can damage DNA in users' mouths. What are the effects of e-cigarettes when a user takes 200 puffs a day for 20 years? z.umn.edu/3v3y
