I'm tired of progressives trashing Democrats for not doing enough and ignoring the fact that with Republicans holding the White House, the Senate, and the House, Dems have virtually no power.
Maybe don't sit home or vote third party next election. Vote Dem and give them power for change.
Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) praising a breakthrough in pancreatic cancer research, calling it "the best of America" and noting that lead researcher Dr. Balachandran is the son of Indian immigrants and works at Sloan Kettering. He quote-tweets Ian Weissman, DO (@DrIanWeiss...), who reports that an mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine showed lasting results in an early trial, with nearly all responding patients still alive six years later.
Science leads to amazing breakthroughs. Immigrants lead to amazing science.

1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work"
I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.
ICE has detained 6,200+ kids in Trump's second term, up 10x since Biden left office

‘World of Stupid People’ - Part 1:
1. Covid-19 hits.
2. Hospitals get overrun, people are dying by the thousands per day.
3. Vaccines are developed, people who take them survive the virus, those who don’t continue to perish.
4. Conspiracy comes that the Vaccines are killing ppl, not the virus.

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.
His name was Thomas.
Thank you Janet Mills!

The entire American conservative MAGA “movement” has been a Russian funded op the entire time. Follow the money. It’s a straight line from Putin to CPAC.

They took some liberty with my words, but I'll take it. ✊
H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,
Today kicks off National Library Week, a time to celebrate our local libraries and librarians for all that they do.

Rick Steves remains the best of us. At Chicago Humanities talk tonight we heard stories of how his first big trip - the Hippie Trail in the 1970s - made him into the best travel writer of our time, and tales of how travel can teach us all to be better humans and better neighbors to the world. ❤️
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
