I feel this! And it’s such a shock when you stop performing your role

Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. She’s 7 weeks old.

Reports from the middle school frontlines: “ all of my friends said their moms were jumping up and down and screaming when they saw Ricky Martin last night like you did”

Love this

I love this so much for him (as a die hard fan from the menudo days)

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

The respect! I had literally just said Ricky danced so Bad Bunny could run and look who is here!

Do better. Call your buddy George W. Bush and show up together in Minneapolis.

Don’t just write statements. DO something with your megaphone.

“This is un-American“ is anti-Indigenous, anti-Black gaslighting and if you find that inconvenient imagine how our colonized and enslaved ancestors felt and grow the fuck up

Public health moms *are* experts and we rock

I love this so much

A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.

Inclined to agree. I find myself shocked when people send me drafts without citations. Just vibes-based claims that have yet to cohere as an argument.

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social has filed an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit against RFK Jr. by five medical and public health organizations, including @apha.org, for his dismantling of science-based vaccine policy.

This man must be stopped!

Just listen to Flavor Flav

We must stop tinkering around the edges of a broken healthcare system.

Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits.

We need Medicare for All.

Mamdani grew up navigating Desi uncles at dinner parties. He was well prepared. IYKYK

What time?

Thank you so much! I had never heard of it and just tried. So nice to search and not receive 10 hits of Reddit, quora, and pure trash

I just had my daughter watch Mamdanu’s victory speech with me, and then we danced to Dhoom Machale. Very overjoyed

It was such an honest space. I will miss it

Public confession of using the phrase “chai tea”

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them.

That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

And I am integrating Saja Boys into my PhD seminars!

Help Prove RFK Jr. is Wrong | Defend Public Health When Senator Wyden stated he’d heard from thousands of doctors and scientists concerned by RFK Jr’s policies, Kennedy responded "I'll put my mailbag against your mailbag any day.” Let's prove Kennedy ...

Remember when RFK Jr. challenged Senator Wyden to a mailbag size contest?
