Am I the only one who didn't know that we all have to get a flu shot every year to protect against variants of the virus which caused the "mother of all pandemics" in 1918? Seems relevant!

#covid19
🤯🤯🤯
The first flu vaccine wasn't approved in the US until 1945, *27 yrs* after it appeared. The mRNA-based #covid19 vax was developed w/in a few *weeks* of the public release of the first data, & billions still can't get it even as refusal kills more USians rn than any other country
I'm getting pretty far out of my lane here, but I guess I've been assuming throughout all of this that we were going to have to start getting regular boosters as the virus continued to mutate, and I feel like the info in this thread might provide some context for the hesitant

1/ #EastBoston #immigrationlaw office Cameron Micheroni & Silvia is hiring! We're looking for a bilingual (Eng/Esp) paralegal to help stop deportations, support asylum seekers, & keep families together.

See below for a pizza-loving dog!

(See further below for actual details)
2/ I started CMS 12 yrs ago as a low bono endeavor with a "for people" vs. a "for profit" model, & we've continued that even as we've grown to 3 attorneys and a full staff. We all share a strong sense of mission and responsibility to do right by our clients *and* one another.
3/ We don't "employ" people so much as invest in them; we're fully committed to your happiness, & success both during & well beyond your time here. We've seen too many small firms grind good ppl w/good intentions down just to squeeze $$ out of them, & we're not here for that.

The best time to abolish the filibuster and pass the #DREAMAct was when it was first introduced 20 years ago.

The second best time is today, July 17, 2021.

#DACA
#defendDACA
#DREAMActNow
A pathway to citizenship for minors brought to the US as children has consistently been at least as popular in voter polling as legalizing marijuana. Again and again for 2 decades, Rs have consistently blocked, filibustered, and refused to allow it to the floor for an honest vote
Never forget that #DACA was not some radical act of Obama's executive whim, but a product of genuine frustration from a broken system's failure to protect a population which more than 2/3 of Americans rightfully understand is #HereToStay. Image

Listening to the audiobook of Louis Menand's massive new history of Cold War art/thought while getting ready for my afternoon & lol'd at the otherwise-very-good narrator confidently reading off the title of John Cage's most famous composition as "Four Feet Thirty Three Inches"
Strong recommend on the book, though! It's very long, but changes focus between people/ideas quickly enough to keep it lively with a lot to think about

NATIVISTS: immigration is a net negative

ALSO NATIVISTS: immigrants contribute so much that we can't afford to pay back the money they've already put into the system
"We simply can't afford to stop exploiting these people" has always been just beneath most opposition to mass regularization--a normal and recurring feature in the system right up to 1986--but it's still wild to see this naked depravity right there in actual words
One indeed may unclefucking object

the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house, but a blueprint and an inside man can get you a long way to planting the C4
Also, to anyone from DHS reading this: hi! I hope you enjoyed this tweet. It's based on a metaphor from Audre Lord, who you should read, but I promise you can keep letting me into federal buildings. Ok ty

Suicide rates are up 100% among Black Americans; as of 7/2020 40% of LGBTQ+ youth in the U.S. had considered ending their own lives within the past year.

True #JusticeforMikaylaMiller is doing whatever we can to keep vulnerable kids from becoming the next #MikaylaMiller
100%. That's the actual increase in Black suicide rates. This is a public health crisis that *no one* is talking about.

capradio.org/articles/2021/…
Suicide is very personal for me, & this story hit hard as I watched Twitter run wild w/speculation rather than confronting the significant evidence (& more to come) that this choice was hers alone. In a very real way, the conspiracy theories denied Mikayla's agency in any of this
