A tough day of news on many fronts. Progress is never easy. But with community and action can come resilience. I embrace the spirit of the season, connecting with family, recognizing those who came before us who never gave up. I find hope. And I vow to try to help those in need.

Can someone smarter than me, help me understand how people who deny subpoenas aren't arrested?

There is something terribly wrong with a system that allows 41 Senate Republicans representing 21% of the country to block voting rights legislation supported by nearly 70% of Americans. The filibuster must go.

If mandates don’t work, this might: Kaiser reports 72% of US healthcare plans are no longer waiving Covid-19 treatment cost (as of 8/31). Context: Medicare has estimated covid hospitalizations average $24K in costs. Get ready to pay if you don’t get vaccinated.

Dear Texas, It’s kind of hard to pitch yourself as the state for the 21st century economy when you insist on governing like it’s the 19th century.

Before we start another war, let us remember how most wars end.

The idea that these vaccines came out of nowhere is a failure of science communication with tragic results. They're the result of DECADES of basic research in MULTIPLE fields building on the BREADTH and DEPTH of human knowledge. That’s how science works. And it's awe inspiring.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my six-year-old friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get polio shots (without the howling of governors or anti-vaxxers). And we eradicated polio. Why has saving lives become political?

Let's be clear. Any governor who threatens to withhold state funds from cities and school districts requiring masks is medically, legally, and morally responsible for spreading COVID.

We can no longer endanger the lives of the many to humor the misconceptions of the few.

The space race of the 1960s was fueled by American tax payers. This space race is fueled by non-tax payers.

If you are railing against the vaccine from a media pulpit and have yourself been vaccinated, you are the worst kind of hypocrite – one who is indifferent the fact that those who have the misfortune of listening to you are putting their lives and others at risk.

As I see it, Dems have 2 options: 1) Keep the filibuster, lose in 2022, and allow Republicans to enact their anti-democratic agenda 2) End the filibuster, deliver for the American people, and save democracy The choice is clear.

Please stop for a moment and watch this, with the sound on. Share with others. An unflinching rebuttal to all those who are politicizing studies of race and injustice courtesy of Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

When I think of the wise people in my own life, they are like that. It’s not the life-altering words of wisdom that drop from their lips, it’s the way they receive others. nytimes.com/2021/04/15/opi…
