The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding. So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

"Approximately 1 in 365 African American children are born with sickle cell, according to the CDC.. Tens of thousands of lower-income families with children suffering from sickle cell disease have applied for SSI. But roughly 76% of those applicants had their requests denied between 2015 and 2020."

Thousands of Black children with sickle cell disease struggle to access disability paymentswww.cbsnews.com New data show how one federal safety net program has been out of reach for thousands of children who need it most.

Just found this old miniature library during my big craft room clean up. This one is from back when each library got a paper creature, painted with fountain pen ink. This was the only griffin I made! 🧶

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

This is something to tell your grandkids and have them tell their grandkids. Expansion of rights is always going to meet violent opposition, and sometimes not right away. I wish I’d understood this in 2008.

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today! If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs! And yeah, they have books too.

I had a chat with the conservative mom of a friend today. We talked about a bunch of stuff and I learned several interesting things, among them, that religious conservatives are often PRO-CHOICE AND THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS INSANE. Run on Dobbs. Run on justices and court reform. Do it.

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

Arkansas abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measurewww.nbcnews.com A measure to enshrine abortion rights in the ruby red state’s constitution is now one step closer to making the November ballot — but major obstacles remain.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.
