This is just some petty and cruel shit. I was very proud to serve alongside Rachel Levine. She has more leadership, integrity, and expertise in her little finger than the entire RFK HHS crew does all together. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
HHS changed the name of transgender health leader on her official portrait
Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered.

As interesting as I found Mamdani, I’m more fascinated watching @katmabu.bsky.social in IL, I’m on the edge of my seat. If we come out of the next four years with any sort of democracy, how we do politics is going to be profoundly different.
Instead of relying on wealthy donors, congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social is using a Twitch stream to raise money – and fight a federal indictment

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

If you’re disabled, housebound or living in poverty and unable to boycott the big retailers this weekend… it’s ok.
Many of us save up for months waiting for a sale to get items we need to survive.
When you’re sick & in legislated poverty, some boycotts are inaccessible.
We need community care.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.
