I’m one of those crazy leftists. I also enjoy Star Trek. I’m an educator in cancer research. I’m also not THAT kind of doctor. (he/they) 🏳️🌈

Rounding up high schoolers as they walk their dog in their pajamas, while the agents wear masks and don't identify themselves, is literal Nazi shit.

Benjamin Guerrero Cruz was detained days before starting his senior year of high school in L.A. He spent months in ICE detention as the community rallied behind him.

Y’all, it’s crazy how much having a job you enjoy that pays a living wage with colleagues who support you can so positively impact your mental health. And like, we live in a world where everyone could have this and we just let billionaires tell us we can’t.

I was going to ask if the hat is too much. But honestly, is it NOT ENOUGH?

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

I’m 60% of the way in and LOVE this. And perhaps the book will cover it — but why can’t they just make multiple machines?
I’m only 20 minutes into the audiobook version of Contact by Carl Sagan and wow, he truly was an amazing science educator and communicator. The awe for the natural world with which he endows a 10yo character is so true to how truly interested in knowledge kids are. share.libbyapp.com/title/728435

We often see those millions-to-billions comparisons; but we’re in the era of trillionaires. A million seconds ago = 11.5 days. A billion = 31.7 *years*. A trillion = 31,700 years. The median US household income is $83,730 — 83,730 seconds is just a day.

I’m listening to @vermontgmg.bsky.social’s The Devil Reached Toward the Sky, which has a full cast — and it’s fun how many of the narrators of the various audiobooks to which I’ve listened this year are part of the cast. An audiobook who’s who. And an interesting book!

And now I’m watching A Very Brady Christmas — on DVD, since it isn’t available to stream (even for purchase). And I adore it but damn, it’s corny as heck lol
I’m no professional decorator but this will be my third Christmas in my apartment and the first where I’ve felt like putting up my tree (here, in my bedroom). Very happy for a little bit of festiveness ❤️🎄

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

Make sure to let your Democratic senators (like mine, @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov) know that Dem senate leadership MUST change!!!
Last night's so-called deal was a tragically disappointing result for the millions of Americans who are facing higher health care costs next year, and for our efforts to confront this bully of a President. I voted no.

I won’t be running for any office, but let me be clear: defund the police.
Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat running for the US Senate in Michigan, has quietly erased thousands of old social media posts — including a dozen tweets that championed the "defund the police" movement.
