Her son was passing in and out of consciousness in the crashed car. Cops around him pointed guns. Here's how one Black mom sought to deliver her son to safety, and what it tells us about policing and its alternatives. ow.ly/YZ6Z30rXWZQ

I need someone to explain to me why 41 Senate Republicans, representing just 21% of the population, can block voting rights legislation supported by 70% of Americans. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Different chemically than it was a decade ago, meth is driving a wave of severe mental illness and worsening an already severe homelessness crisis. @samquinones7 reports on how it spread—and what it’s doing to people. on.theatln.tc/K8Ca0yq

My vaccinated dad has #MultipleMyeloma. If you’re still on the fence about 💉but would help a stranger change a tire or catch a neighbor’s runaway dog, think of the vaccine as seriously good samaritan points. It’s a very easy incredibly lazy way to save a life.
📍Folks need to know this—#ColinPowell had multiple myeloma—a cancer of plasma cells that **makes antibodies**. Thus, vaccines are weaker in myeloma patients because we kill the cells that make antibodies with our myeloma treatments. Please vax to protect others.🧵 HT @VincentRK

Selma Blair can't resist a joke as she explains how she hopes a film about her life with M.S. can help: "What a relief to know even adorable people like me are troubled by their own brains and bodies at times. That’s the comfort I wish I could give.” nyti.ms/3FIOT7A

Y’all already did over a month ago despite everyone having data that ending UI doesn’t push people back to work. Conservatives love to act like they’re “fiscally savvy” yet remain puzzled as to why people can’t work a job whose pay won’t even cover the childcare costs to work 🤡
4.3 million workers quit their jobs. We need to quit paying folks not to work.

There’s a reason white supremacy attacks history. Opposition to teaching bigotry’s history and where it leads- from the slave trade to the Holocaust - is about erasing society’s tools to recognize prejudice & prevent atrocity. Holocaust denial has no place in our society. None.
NEW: A school administrator in Southlake, Texas, advised teachers last week that if they have a book about the Holocaust in their classroom, they should also have a book with an "opposing" perspective. Listen to the audio recording obtained by @NBCNews: nbcnews.to/2YNVugH

My entire time on twitter, I have never once asked you to retweet something. I am asking now. Please let people hear Brevard, FL School Board member Jennifer Jenkins tonight detail the threats and intimidation her, her family, and her neighbors have been subjected to this year.

This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for Congress. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.
