ONE VACCINE DOWN

ID LIKE TO THANK GOD AND @SFdirewolf Me, a red haired white woman with black glasses, wearing a v
Also wore my vote mask because we made that possible. Thank you to @ellouelle for the mask!!!
I will keep folks updated on side effects. I got Moderna 3 hours ago now, and at least so far I have a slightly achy back but nothing more than that!
Update I’m quite achy and sore and also p nauseous but that’s what heating pads and peppermint tea are for and it’s nothing compared to what having Covid would be like for me
Next day update! I'm still p achy but honestly it's substantially less achy than when I get the flu shot.

Okay here it is, Tory's steps to handling your nightmare inbox

You've got thousands (or tens of thousands) of emails to get through and it's stress inducing and also you might be missing important things, especially if you're job hunting or waiting to hear about a vaccine
This is for gmail (and for personal email, not campaign etc)!
#1:
Turn on keyboard shortcuts, things will go much quicker. And then USE the keyboard shortcuts: support.google.com/mail/answer/65…
#2:
What emails can you bulk delete? Anything from DoorDash, Amazon, delivery services. Walgreens. Do you get emails anytime you make a purchase over $20 or similar?

Search name, select all, and select all that apply (so it's more than the one page), and delete em

"Tory Cross said the lack of verification requirements is crucial to California’s commitment to vaccine equity.

“It’s really important... to be able to self-attest,” she said, noting that many lost their healthcare during the pandemic and might not have easy access to a doctor."
Many people lost their health care in the past year, especially people who had health care tied to employment, so wouldn't be able to get proof of their health conditions.
And of course, there's medical racism, for example, that makes it less likely for people of color to be diagnosed with these high risk conditions, despite being more likely to have them because of things like the environment, etc.

1. I am beyond thrilled to see this incredible platform from @RebeccaLamorte - and I’m gonna break down my favorite parts. #CripTheVote
First though, come to Rebecca’s townhall on Monday, 7:30EST to discuss it! cutt.ly/r4nydisability…
2. Okay, let’s break this incredible plan down.
COVID-19 has decimated disabled people in the past year. @RebeccaLamorte poses the right steps to protecting our community, including demanding accountability and change for the nursing homes, especially with Cuomo’s cover up.
3. With the dangers and terrors of nursing homes and other congregate housing, disabled people have had to fight harder than ever this year to receive care at home. @RebeccaLamorte sees this and knows and plans to robustly fund programs that provide care at home.

Listen, the lead poisoning researcher in me is about to write a THREAD.

I grew up on a Superfund site.
I knew so many kids with lead poisoning.
I centered my Masters on lead poisoning.

This plan is far beyond anything I could have dreamed from a presidential candidate.
So here's some points from the plan that I am joyously dancing over, imagining them being put into place.
$5 Billion a Year for 10 years to remediate lead in paint and soil and replace lead pipes:
So often policies don't acknowledge that the BEST way to prevent lead poisoning is to simply get rid of the sources of the lead. This gets right to the root and puts money where it belongs.
