@vinguptamd.bsky.social provides a PHENOMENAL example of clear medical communication, and it's done in two minutes. How would our country's health care be different if we had more such medical professionals leading HHS as opposed to the dangerous incompetent that is running it?

The fact that the value of geriatrics training is even under debate is ludicrous --- and dangerous. The older population is growing. Do we believe that they don't deserve adequate, knowledgeable care? The latest @nytimes.com New Old Age column by Paula Span. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/h...

If you have 14 minutes, I highly recommend listening to this House speech by Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colorado, 6th District). crow.house.gov/media/press-...

This is where progressive billionaires (and I believe they DO exist) can fund efforts to create "shadow" components of our culture that can exist in tandem with anti-Constitutional entities.

I am so grateful for experts like @vinguptamd.bsky.social who continue to put themselves between us and medical misinformation.

I just needed to post this today. www.facebook.com/reel/1944110...

This is EXACTLY an issue that the Dems need to press Republicans to pass in the Senate ASAP in order to guarantee passage of the Federal budget in the House. Otherwise, shut down the government and urge all Americans to vote all GOP members out of office. www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

I agree when @johnfugelsang.bsky.social says that while Kirk believed in and said despicable things, he deserved the chance to live to develop and potentially grow into a moral, compassionate person. Unless someone is in the act of physically endangering others' lives, s/he should get such a chance.

While we bemoan the fate of our 12th-graders, let's keep in mind that it's decades of conservative, monetary-based "values" and current immensely stupid Trump administrators who have been dooming them. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

@tinakotek.bsky.social: I am concerned that we Oregonians are having difficulty accessing the newest Covid-19 vaccines. I see that the governor of Washington has issued this standing order: doh.wa.gov/.../COVID19V... Is there a similar one for Oregon? If not, PLEASE issue one immediately.

It's time to impeach RFK Jr. Contact your House rep and share this demand. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qwe...

This potentially looming possibility is an abomination in a country of extreme wealth inequality. Want to save Social Security? Support raising --- or better yet, ending ---the cap on taxable income. www.investopedia.com/more-than-60...

As we age, many of us are concerned with our lifespan in purely chronological terms. But what if we consider how we can fill those years with greater joy? Gerontologist Dr. Kerry Burnight offers some very important strategies for doing so. www.thetimes.com/life-style/h...

I'm proud to say that on Wednesday, September 10, my book, AGING SIDEWAYS: Changing Our Perspectives on Getting Older, is celebrating its first anniversary in print! But that's not the only occasion to celebrate. 1/3

Why Trump’s attack on the Smithsonian matters | Kimberlé Crenshaw and Jason Stanley The president’s assault on US museums, education and memory is a critical dimension of his fascist aimsIn a letter sent to Smithsonian secretary, Lonnie G Bunch III, on 12 August, the Trump administration...

The horrific tragedy in Minneapolis is a repeat of other horrifying mass casualty events. Knowing there’s no political will to tackle the underlying problems driving this epidemic, please consider: 1. Donating blood. It’s life saving 2. Get trained in basic life support. It can also save a life

Democratic leaders: THIS is how you need to speak and act. You've got the heart. Now grow strong spines to support it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qliV...

Dear Smithsonian… safeguard the past. Move your archives to Canada before destruction claims them.

Teaching abt slavery doesn’t make America look horrible—slavery itself is what made America look horrible. Museums just have the receipts. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/yes-he-hat...

"Despite a social emphasis on positive views on aging, AI text-to-image generators persistently generated images with characteristics of digital ageism." Get used to that term "digital ageism," because it's beginning to manifest everywhere. www.jmir.org/2025/1/e6842...

It was great to be in conversation once again with Jane Leder on her wonderful podcast, "Older Women & Friends," catching up on our lives. I share the program with two amazing women, filmmaker Melissa Davey and physician Lucinda Sykes. Give a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Just as 60 isn't the new 40, 40 isn't the new 60...that is, unless you're ageist.

Truly remarkable new research that sheds light on the role that Lithium may play in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease AND the vital insights this work provides for therapeutic development. Welcome hopeful news to the millions who suffer worldwide Incredible medical innovation always imparts hope!

Thank you, @vinguptamd.bsky.social, for so clearly & decisively advocating for support of mRNA vaccine development & for counteracting the credit Trump claimed for the Covid vaccines' 9-month period of development by pointing out that they were made possible only after 20 years of research!
