Zohran Mamdani is the new Mayor of New York City!
The people chose change.
They voted in record numbers and proved that all the money in the world isn’t a substitute for class.
They want progressive policies that benefit everyone.
They want affordability.
They want a compassionate leader.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

For decades, the biomedical industry has relied on a compound in horseshoe crab blood to protect medical equipment from contamination, saving untold human lives.
But conservationists say modern medicine’s dependence on this bloodletting is upending a globe-spanning ecosystem.

These crabs probably saved your life. Can we save theirs?
The medical world relies on horseshoe crab blood in the production of vaccines and equipment. A synthetic is available, but companies have been slow to adopt it.
