I feel deep, deep gratitude toward every single person who takes a couple hours out of their busy lives to be a part of this movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

Good news and a thank you to Ukraine! Bot traffic from Russian tech company Yandex’s network has plunged following Ukrainian strikes on its data centers.

She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence.

Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

What an extraordinary woman. 💜

In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche, a NEW order calls him out for failing to produce the redacted versions of the handwritten FBI interview notes of the South Carolina victim who alleges she was sexually and physically abused by Trump when she was just 13-15 years old:

You should never have to wonder whether soldiers are watching you vote. This footage shows uniformed troops standing beside an official ballot drop box in Washington, D.C. Who sent them there? What were their orders?

A new study finds our body's repair of somatic mutations (uncontrolled cell damage) limits lifespan. Even with other aging factors gone, this damage could cap median human lifespan at 146-194 years. This insight is key for future research.

Cancer treatment often meant one-size-fits-all. What if it was tailored to *you*? A personalized mRNA vaccine (EVM16) just completed its first human trial (Phase 1a) with promising safety and strong immune responses. It's teaching bodies to fight *their own* cancer cells.

Amazing! In 197 patients treated for Alzheimer's with lecanemab, 34 specific plasma biomarkers changed significantly, suggesting highly individualized biological responses. For patients, this could lead to more personalized treatment plans.

Scientists found gepotidacin, a new oral antibiotic, rapidly improved uUTI symptoms in 90% of women in a Phase 3b trial within 72 hrs. This surprised me! It inhibits bacterial DNA. A novel approach, which is great news for patients as resistance grows.

In 1853, Mary Ann launched The Provincial Freeman, Canada's first antislavery newspaper. She was the first Black woman newspaper editor in North America. She personally smuggled copies of the paper across the border into the U.S. so that her message could reach as many Americans as possible. Mary Ann
Shadd was the first of 13 children born into a prominent abolitionist family in Delaware on 9 October 1823. Her father, Abraham Doras Shadd, was a shoemaker in Wilmington, Delaware, and a leader among Delaware's free Black community. Her mother was Harriet Parnell from North Carolina.
Their home was a stop on the
Underground Railroad that assisted freedom seekers out of Maryland and Delaware into the Free State of Pennsylvania and beyond.
