To my peeps, and my Brown and LGBTQ friends. Never forget that your light was so damn bright they handed the world to the first asshole who promised to dim it.

“No one can agree how to pronounce it”? Really, NYT? Oh, yes we fucking can. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/n...

Turns out, we’ve been living in a golden age of benefits all this time!

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

Don’t learn the wrong lessons

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Among the top three reasons I won’t be at reunion weekend. Dismissive of the community, feckless, AND stupid.

In honor of public health week & national poetry month, a haiku: Ever awakened To a smoke detector’s chirp? Then thank public health @apha.org #NPHW

Politics Monday on @pbsnews.org continues its unbroken streak of inanity. Somehow the takeaway from the No Kings marches is that Democrats need to have a message in 2028. Oh, and Democrats started the shutdown. This segment is consistently embarrassing.

Without truth there can be no healing. Sí, se puede. Sin verdad no puede haber sanación. Sí, se puede.

This is my kind of contest.

Happy early St. Patrick’s Day.

All this while the gates to @columbiauniversity.bsky.social are still locked against the Harlem community. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/n...

The implication here is straightforward: that people with platforms, including Democratic politicians and media, need to keep highlighting the threat to democracy specifically — centering democracy as an issue in both word and deed. To save democracy, you have to actually talk about democracy.

My love for you burns hot enough to kill salmonella. #publichealthvalentines

it's like our entire sense of morality has been filtered through the act of consumption, and the highest good we can imagine is feeling good and clean and pure as individuals, unpolluted by the obvious evil are around us meanwhile, real change requires the kind of work you need a drink after

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

True - this is lazy framing. A more accurate take would say something about the persistence of anti-Latino sentiment and how Puerto Ricans have always been viewed as criminals & treated as less than full citizens.

Please sign my petition to start an Autumn Olympics where all events empty into a pile of delightful leaves and whatnot.

Yep. Mistaking cynicism for wisdom. Sigh.

Turns out, producing milk is hard work. Hell, even producing dangerous milk ain’t easy! (Seriously, though, just drink normal pasteurized milk. You can get it anywhere & it won’t kill you.)

Stanley Richards is someone I admire greatly. The right man for a tough job.

"You don’t need ideological unity. You need a coalition so broad the regime can’t function without somebody’s cooperation, and enough of those somebodies refuse." -- Scot Nakagawa

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

I can’t resist a good dunk on David Brooks. It makes my heart melt.

I’ve been worried about this. Heads up, mi gente. Let’s look out for each other.

In other news, schoolchildren & billionaires form alliance to depose the mayor.

"My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers"

If you’re not following @solomonmissouri.bsky.social after reading this thread, I feel sorry for you.

You know, I didn’t expect this type of energy from Ken but I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

This. “Say bad things are bad.”

Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to drag David Brooks.

Oh, this is going great.

The real lesson of Christmas is that if God had wanted to win over working-class Judeans, he should have sent down a less divisive Messiah.

Such a compassionate response to the ugliness to which so many young men are exposed & succumb to.

If you’re looking for an SAT word to describe this, I think “feckless” fits the bill. See also: Columbia. It’s hard for me to think of anyone in public health with more integrity & decency than Dr. Bassett.

Yep. And, also, you can give away a shit ton of $$ and STILL be very, very rich.

I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

This World AIDS Day, I’m remembering all of the people w/HIV who transformed the field of public health & taught me through words, deeds, & actions that we make progress together or not at all.

Can relate. I did manage to finish this article, though. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/o...

📱 Using your #RightToRecord! In the U.S.– no matter what your immigration status is– you have the right to record immigration enforcement agents. This is a powerful tool for exposing their tactics, combatting abuse, and fighting detention.

Alex Padilla lays it plain.

Imagine these wockaflockas blowing up random boats off the coast of Ireland. You can't, can you?
