🧵Pennsylvania — three U.S. House races worth watching. 💙 PA-07 • Bob Brooks PA-08 • Paige Cognetti PA-10 • Janelle Stelson I’ll introduce each candidate in this thread, with more about who they are and what they’re running on. #Pennsylvania #Election2026 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
Normalize making Republicans explain themselves. Michigan congressional candidate Will Lawrence didn't hold back addressing his opponent's history of enabling Trump's chaotic agenda:
Don't fall for the utopian view of A.I. being sold: The A.I. tech health care employers are rolling out in our workplaces is untested, unproven, unregulated, and ultimately benefits their profit margin — not patients or nurses. thehill.com/opinion/heal...
Trust nurses, not unproven AI tools
Nurses have been the most trusted profession in the U.S. for 24 years running, and with good reason: We care about you, we fight for you, and we don’t lie. We can’t say the same about those who att…

Nurses ✊ shut ✊ it ✊ down ✊ in San Francisco today to demand Palantir out of our health care, out of our communities, and out of our society.
It won't be enough jus0t to get rid of Trump. It would take decades to take out his enablers and disassemble the system that made it possible.
#BlueWaveIn30Days SHOUT OUT LADIES Trump tells WOMEN "You're NASTY " "QUIET PIGGY " And Republicans in Congress allow this SO All of you NASTY WOMEN Your VOTE IS YOUR VOICE 30 Days ..VOTE THEM OUT Iwillvote.com
this is my favorite example ever of an interactive clearly, creatively illustrated concept
AI is being used to... -Facilitate online scams -Process health insurance claims, leading to wrongful denials -Price gouge customers via surveillance pricing -Set higher car insurance premiums using personal data The dangers of AI aren’t in some far-off future. They're already here.
Something tells me that Christina Ricci is a hell of a parent. I love seeing parents who teach their children right from wrong, and to stand up for what's right.
"Well, if you didn't want ... then why didn't you..." Yeah, there is a physiological reason why someone wouldn't respond in the way they'd expect (or hope) they would. youtu.be/M62lMMkFquA?...

Behold the pattern: * How bad was it & for how long, b4 women realized abusers wouldn't stop until they protested * 50 yrs seems short for a new word or phrase to exist in a language * Allowing devastating harms to continue worse, 50yrs later, even in violation of laws passed, is criminal in itself
The words didn’t exist, but the harm did. In 1975, women at #CornellUniversity gave a name to what countless women had endured in silence. Naming #sexualharassment changed the conversation, strengthened protections, and gave women language to fight back. #SheShed #EEOC

This is Maricarmen's story. What began with the eviction of 87-year-old woman, has grown into a broader movement demanding action on Spain’s housing crisis. Her case sparked outrage. Now, people across Spain are protesting for affordable, secure housing for everyone.
She wrote a “it’s Harris’s fault that I have to vote for Trump” column in October 2024. A product of that Nazi factory Hillsdale College.
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.
Hey John. I don't want to speak for the OP but when I look at those statements from women, the first thing that comes to mind is "what fucked-up world do we live in that this is even necessary". Fact: 99% of assaults are by men. Men need to change so keys aren't needed. It's never about the keys.
It's so weird isn't it. It's how we view legislation on benefits or immigration: organise the entire system based on the assumption that most people are trying to cheat the system. Penalise the 99% but hope to catch out the 1%. It's illogical and cruel and in the long term costs way more in admin.
