Heartbreaking to see the damage in and around #NewOrleans, knowing that some of the affected residents have now experienced two strong tornadoes this year and a strong hurricane (Ida) a year ago. Watching this man on WDSU show the tornado damage, which is next to a lingering pile of hurricane damage. #LAwx #FediWx #tornado
Next time no people.

Just applied to an apartment in DC where I told the guy that my credit was really bad. He said I’d be fine. Got denied, lost the apartment, and the application fee.

This ain’t meant for people who don’t already have money.

The first Gen Z Congress member was denied a D.C. apartment due to bad credit.

Freshman reps don’t get a paycheck until February even though they start working on January 3rd.

Congress is inaccessible to those who don't have wealth.

It’s designed to keep working people out.

Books by James Baldwin, one of America’s greatest intellectuals, humanists and activists (he was also a film critic* and historian) that I highly recommend. Well, I highly recommend all of them including the one in my photo. Here are just a few of the other Baldwin books you must read:

Go Tell It On The Mountain
Notes Of A Native Son
No Name In The Street
The Devil Finds Work*
Another Country
If Beale Street Could Talk
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen

Pediatric hospitals are being crushed by RSV, flu, #COVID19. I'm masked every day, seeing patients of all ages. We don’t get sick from our patients and we keep the environment safe for them. Yet unmasked adults gather at meetings, shops, parties. IMO, that’s surreal. #MaskUp
