Petition for NSF to retore eligibility for people enrolled in clinical psych grad programs. This funding was essential for me as a trainee & is a slap in the face to basic clinical researchers!

Read my take on the latest trash FDA panel on SSRIs and pregnancy and how untreated depression is likely worse for you and your baby than taking one of the most commonly prescribed medications. The bottom line: Don't take psychiatric advice from RFK Jr.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Between Booker holding the Senate floor and Crawford holding the liberal court majority in Wisconsin, today has shown--maybe more than any other we've seen since January 20th--that the oligarchs' hold just might crack.
It's over - Crawford wins. Dems HOLD Wisconsin supreme court.
Waiting for a county to finish up in WI before I have a take, but Democrats feel good right now.

Counties where 80%+ of vote is in:

Fond du Lac: Schimel +18 (was Trump +29)
La Crosse: Crawford +26 (was Harris +9)

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.

Felt proud and humbled with this crowd tonight.

Come for one, come for all!
Free Rumeysa, free them all!
This is a better shot of the size of the crowd at Powder House Square for Rumeysa Ozturk. Less than 24 hours notice.

I don’t have to fend off the desire to comply in advance. Anyone who knows me knows that, fortunately or unfortunately, I would rather die than let someone I don’t respect tell me what to do.
