In the Concentric Value of Vaccination graphic, the Gerontological Society of America highlights some of the many benefits of vaccination and illustrate how these benefits ripple outward—from the individual to the societal and the broader economy—reinforcing vaccines as one of the most powerful tools in public health. The benefits of vaccines include individual health outcomes (e.g., increased life expectancy), economic benefits (e.g., health care cost savings), and societal health impacts (e.g., community immunity).

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

WE MUST step up our game. I said this before the #PedoInChief sat his fat orange ass behind the Resolute Desk. Democrats need to do the following. I’m going to give you the “cliff notes” version of this article here.

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “Shocking how bad this bill is: 

- 17 million would lose health care  
- 30% higher electricity costs  
- Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed  
- Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans  
- $4 trillion in deficits  
- $1 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires 

People should be on the phones, in the streets, and telling everyone who'll listen”

Use our social toolkit to spread the word about the specifics of Trump’s Tax Scam. People overwhelmingly oppose the GOP’s dangerous reconciliation bill when they find out what’s in it, but a lot of Americans still aren’t aware of the details. We need to change that ASAP: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/trum...

Our public lands are not for sale! @gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social we all hope you’re fighting hard against the reconciliation bill!!

Everyone out there: call your senators and tell them not to sell our public assets! Hands off our public lands!

Remember when you protest: you're not trying to persuade the Trump regime to stop their actions, they're not open to persuasion. You're trying to persuade the public that the Trump regime is acting unconstitutionally. The public isn't persuaded by violence. Peaceful, joyful protest tactics will win.

I just heard a former Senate staffer say that EVERY sign at EVERY protest needs to say “IMPEACH, CONVICT & REMOVE” and nothing else. Without a clear, specific demand, Congress can just ignore us. We have to be crystal clear about what we want them to do.

IMPEACH, CONVICT & REMOVE!!!
