Just a casual reminder that in 1869 it was decided to have 9 Supreme Court justices because there were 9 Circuit Courts.
Now there are 13 Circuit Courts. So what exactly are we waiting for?

#COVID minimizers love asking the bad faith question "how few deaths would you be willing to accept before you'll stop advocating for protections?"
This is not how public health works. Public health should always be striving to prevent as much death & chronic illness as possible.

Sending a hearty congrats to Dr. E Jean Carroll!!
Republicans won’t care that their nominee is a rapist. In fact, they will likely love him more. It’s who they are.
But the money will be life changing for her, and that’s not nothing.

It's unacceptable that some hospitals are now telling patients that they cannot ask staff members to wear a mask. What happened to "do no harm"?

"Attendees said many people at the gathering did not mask, socially distance or take other precautions that the CDC had recommended earlier in the pandemic."
CDC: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN???

SCOTUS needs an ethics code to restore public confidence. PreetBharara and I discuss Chief Justice Roberts’s refusal to testify before Congress on a new episode of cafedotcom Insider. Listen: bit.ly/3p75Kgs

Wednesday we are releasing an update to allow threading. We need to test at scale, but we do expect bugs. So please be patient.

I struggled with hate and bitterness for many years.
My father was assassinated, my paternal grandmother was assassinated, my uncle died mysteriously.
But I had to seek wellness or I would have been consumed.
I’m grateful that I learned that love is great fuel for justice.

As someone who has experienced exactly these attacks on Twitter very often over the years – and simply had to accept them –, I am extremely grateful for this protective automatism. 🙏🏼

I’m always confused by the discussion among cis-women about “deciding to go grey” - I didn’t “decide” - my hair started greying in my late twenties and I let it be.
As I approach 60, seeing signs of my grandmother’s face - as I remember her- emerge in my own - I think of how I loved her face

Hospitals know it's a bad idea to let #COVID spread. That's why they are still telling visitors to stay home if they have symptoms. But COVID can spread pre-symptomatically, and people aren't great about staying home when sick anyway. Refusing to require masks makes no sense.

#climatechange is the biggest health crisis humanity faces. We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground to mitigate climate-related health disasters. But #COVID has shown if we don't build strong public health protections & structural supports, we leave the most vulnerable behind.

If I ask anyone outside my immediate family how they’re doing, they’ll say they’re fine, regardless of what is happening in their life.
In America, this response is the default.
But, this same mechanism is how most decide the severity of #COVID . We’re embracing disease to look “normal”.

The networks are so thirsty for a second Trump presidency he's going to have to pay them hush money after it's over.

The horrific truth about why the powerful are ignoring #COVID is that capitalism incentivizes abandoning the vulnerable.

Related to my previous spouts, we cannot have a just and free world without imagination and rest. I strongly recommend reading "Rest Is Resistance" by Tricia Hersey, Founder of The Nap Ministry.
