It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Gentle reminder: I am seeing more "I cannot afford pet food" posts & if you might face this in the near future/now, I recommend checking your local area's subreddit and posting if anyone knows of local programs for pet food. Many areas have small under-the-radar charities that give out pet food.

Happy Birthday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
As a water protector at Standing Rock in 2016, her experience protesting against DAPL led to her wanting to do something more. In 2018, at age 29, AOC became the youngest woman to be elected to Congress. She serves the New York 14th congressional district.
