10/ So if you're a parent wondering, "What am I supposed to do right now?" here's my answer: nothing has changed about your ability to vaccinate your child today. You can still follow the existing schedule; your doctor can still provide those vaccines, and they remain free.

I mean what does it say about you when the Voting Rights Act is your enemy? It says everything, says a thousand things about democracy, and says one word: racists.

The National Science Foundation is the main source of funding for basic sciences in the US. For decades, they have supported a scientific R&D ecosystem in the US that has been an engine of economic growth and competitive advantage. Destroying the agency is no less than an act of sabotage.

It says a great deal about our modal elected official of the past few decades that this guy has generated so much positive attention for acting like he likes his job, likes the city he wanted to lead, and likes the people who live in it. Why did nobody think of this earlier.

Rachel Maddow called Bill a genius of exposition. Which rings true to me. Who else finds such clear, concise, vivid ways to sum up where we are and where we could and should be?

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ...

Patchwork quilts as distinct from whole-cloth quilts seem like a particularly American art form, and the United State is itself a patchwork of cultures, regional identities, ethnicities – this country's old motto e pluribus unum (out of many one) is a patchwork motto and one under attack...

Here's a thought. Fuck these guys.

(panel 1 - Title above Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries in tracksuits holding paddles.)
Democratic Defense
with Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries
paddles, "FECK" "LESS"
(panel 2 - Jeffries attempting to punch a ream of papers held by Schumer.)
Schumer, "Nothing can get through these reams of STERNLY WORDED LETTERS."
Jeffries, "Hope I don't get a paper cut!"
(panel 3 - Jeffries texting.)
Jeffries, "Memorize a few million numbers to text in an emergency."
text, "HELP! We're in a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS! Click here to DONATE."
(panel 4 - Schumer shaking his head.)
Schumer, "Subtly shake your head in disapproval while providing UNANIMOUS CONSENT to the latest atrocity."
(panel 5 - Jeffries bowing while a foot kicks his butt.)
Jeffries, "while they're kicking your ass, show deference to your opponent with a BIPARTISAN BOW."
(panel 6 - Schumer cowering.)
Schumer, "When CONSTITUENTS demand you start acting like a real OPPOSITION PARTY, use the COWARD's COWER. Please don't primary me!"
