Books, books, books!
Please buy books that are coming out this year.
Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

During this president's first term I found a website that had "modern" protest songs). Sadly I can't find that site now, but this needs to go it it!
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Say it again and again.
At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Question for the theory heads-
How do you reconcile the fact that about 50% of Americans read at a 6th grade level or lower
With the idea that reading aka reading marx is what will save us?

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.”
The protocol reveals that the trial will withhold the Hepatitis B birth dose from thousands—without placebos, without universal maternal screening, and with endpoints critics call indefensible.

Agree!
Plus, you can always go back to one you started if you want. I typically read 2-3 at a time so I have a variety to pick up depending on my mood.

I talk about this often. The reality is there are a lot of upper-middle and upper class people who don't live in the real world either which is also part of the problem.
Too many people need to get out of their own house, neighborhood, and city once in a while.

It sucks to have to do, but it's important we keep it up.
As a public employee I either use my lunch and leave the property or wait until I'm home, which also sucks b/c I pretty much only ever get to leave a voicemail.

I often talk to folks who never call or write the people they voted for. Just because you helped vote someone into an office doesn't mean they represent you. It means you agreed with them enough to vote for them. But, they have no idea if they agree with you, unless you tell them what you think.

Teachers, child care, and nurses are crucial for developing good humans. Before I came to public health I taught & was a child care worker, & I will argue those are the most under-appreciated professionals.
Not to mention the erasure of fields long considered "women's work" that is tied into this.

The amount someone earns after completing a professional degree does not accurately portray its total value in our society.
If it was a true reflection of social worth then educators, nurses, and librarians would be paid high six figures.
