The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I know everyone is sick of hearing about COVID, but there is still some really important research going on, especially regarding the unknown long-term impacts on multiple bodily systems, research on COVID may also help inform us about future pandemics, it's vital funding isn't cut! 🧪

🧵 The DoD is erasing history by deleting references to non-white, non-male service members, & by removing information about the Civil War and topics they consider to be "DEI" or not totally positive portrayals of white Americans. We must not forget the many minority SMs who have fought for the USA.

Agencies individually decide who is excepted/exempt from shutdown, days in advance. Essential are usually law enforcent, medical staff, & similar. Only applies to executive branch, so not courts & not congress. It starts back up automatically when a budget is passed = when there's funding.
