Thank you UW Department of Surgery and UW Medicine for prioritizing us 💜 I ugly cried after every shot in childhood, but these squinty eyes are just a full on grin and gratitude #vaccinate #Pfizervaccine

I’ve given half my life to medicine. And medicine wouldn’t give my husband a chest x-ray. Some kids stole a truck yesterday. And they almost stole my husband’s life alongside it. (1)

With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go...but well done!

The freedom of expression & the right to hold our government accountable clearly is a protected right for white folks fighting to maintain racial oppression. One of the most guarded federal buildings has been taken over. When Black Panthers did this, they were "terrorists."
