What does the EXC designation mean for Liz Beardsly?

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Thank you for keeping us updated!!

Timeline cleanse: Mamdani governing like Fred Rogers (compliment).

Notice it’s two of the people in American public life who risked the most to support Palestine who are out here exemplifying kindness and joy and love with kids more than just about any other American politician ever could.

Offseason might have started but we still have players in Action this weekend

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

I have 214.6K followers, and I figure at least some of them are looking to gift books this holiday season, so:

HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question.

Go!

Those Who Make Peaceful Revolution Impossible JFK tried to warn us.

"People don’t cheer for chaos when they feel like justice is possible. But right now... the Supreme Court is corrupt, voting feels useless, and the people in power are funded by the very corporations they’re supposed to regulate."

Fox News talking about Luigi Mangione, but make the footage Kyle Rittenhouse

"In 2023 and 2024 alone, UnitedHealth has spent $23,885,000 on federal lobbying carried out by an in-house lobbying team and nine outside lobbying firms. ... [I]n the 2024 election cycle, UnitedHealth’s PAC donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to federal and state politicians."

If Democratic campaigns are basically just big money grifts then what incentive do they have to win? www.currentaffairs.org/news/how-muc...

Today would have been Chadwick Boseman’s 48th birthday.

Just want to say I'm so glad to be able to follow you again. Left Twitter after Elon took over and missed seeing your posts.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

How many of these do we have?

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
