😷🧵
Going into winter I'd like to take a moment to share my masking precautions for covid/illness prevention.😄

1. Time, Distance, Shielding

Minimize exposure wherever practical. Follow the ALARA principle: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. This is the key principle of radiation safety as well.

Radiation safety graphic illustrating time, distance, and shielding safety concept. Minimize time and maximize distance and shielding.

Text: Limit time spent near a radiation source, increase distance away fromba radiation source or use shielding.

Trump is threatening to use the Insurrection act on Americans exercising their first amendment rights.

If he was so worried about insurrection, why did he pardon these convicted insurrectionists?🤔

she's right, demanding our elected Dems stand up to blatant fascism isn't a "purity test", it's a Democracy test that Dems need to pass before we lose ours.😓

If you post what MAGA officials say without fact-checking, all it does is amplify their words.

She's basically the female Joe Rogan. Doesn't really matter if she believes her own BS, I guarantee she believes in profiting from it.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Trump: "There was a reason we chose Egypt because you were very helpful. Everybody wanted to have this. You are a great leader. You have very little crime. I want to thank you. He's been my friend right from the beginning during the campaign against Crooked Hillary Clinton. Have you heard of her?"

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the #Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
James
