Today we remember the friends and loved ones lost to HIV/AIDS.

In Congress, I continue to fight to advance innovative treatments and, with my PrEP Assistance Program Act, ensure prevention measures like PrEP are accessible to everyone who needs it.

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

The right is full of grown-ass adults who are afraid of vaccines, kid's books, and anyone Twitter or OAN tells them to fear, including the entirety of NYC, and NYC is full of people who cheerfully chase federal agents out of the state and then do stunts on Citibikes; you tell ME who's going to win.
The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.

The sharp decline in US teenagers’ aspiration to get married and have kids…

…is happening almost entirely among girls, not boys.

At some point maybe men will start trying harder to understand that.

Another indication that is past time that we demand that leaders in the heterosexual community do something about the pathologies and excesses of this decadent lifestyle choice.
Wait, so Ryan Lizza is charging people to view the raunchy texts from the guy who was boinking his fiance? Content aside, isn't that kind of f-ed up?

I'm pretty sure I didn't need a big "follow back" button on my notifications page, since I think a lot of you are just bots.

A reminder for people who have latched onto Newsom:

- In 2012, VP Biden took a political risk and spoke out in support of gay marriage.
- That went okay, so Obama followed suit.
- Voters who'd previously opposed marriage equality were inspired to change their minds.

Leaders need to LEAD.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

5/🧵 Race divides the Democratic Party more than it does Republicans. Young Republicans remain almost as racially resentful as older Republicans. But among Democrats and independents, massive shifts. White Gen Z independents have lower racial resentment than Boomer Democrats.

Every time I go to linkedin to see what some piece of shit in the news studied (b.a. in english for today's jerk) I find notifications telling me I might just be who the world's biggest weapons manufacturers are looking for. Despite me doing everything I can to make this crap stop.
