Major media outlets @nbcnews.com @msnbc.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @cnn.com (those that are aligned with the first amendment & not their bottom line) should be re-airing videos of the #J6 riots instead of covering the peaceful protests in LA. This is not going to end well otherwise. #DUH

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

“Bending the knee and precomplying will not stave off these attacks. Acquiescing to censorship will not stop the threats. Only engaging in collective, bold, public, strategic struggle & disruption has the potential to do so. We did not pick this fight, but this is the fight that we are in.”

I am deeply embarrassed by my alma mater. It’s easy to champion DEI in times of calm, but the real test is standing firm when those values are under assault by a fascist, wannabe autocrat. Shame on Columbia—and on any institution—that surrenders to this blatant attack on our fundamental freedoms.

Duly elected trans congresswoman (Sarah McBride) was misgendered yesterday & people are defending it using Trump’s EO. But we respect name changes for cis people all the time—Sen. Ted Cruz isn’t ‘Rafael,’ & no one argues. Basic respect isn’t up for debate, and LGBT rights shouldn’t be either. #LGBT

It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it. (Published 2017, but there's no expiration date for this story)

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.
