I’m proud to stand in solidarity with @nationalnurses.bsky.social at University Medical Center New Orleans on strike for a fair first contract.

These nurses are facing a staffing crisis because of UMCNO's refusal to provide fair wages, benefits & working conditions. Enough is enough.
New Orleans nurses are on the strike line this week because fewer and fewer staff are staying long-term at UMC. Meanwhile, LCMC executives are making obscene amounts of money.

How about investing those profits into nurse retention instead of executive pay?

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

"Liberal media" indeed

The American people deserve answers, and it’s time for the DOJ and FBI to provide them.

While we appreciate that the Epstein estate has been transparent, it’s time for the Administration to do their part.

Solidarity with Starbucks workers! Starbucks makes BILLIONS every year.

The very least the company owes its workers is good faith negotiations for a fair contract and to END their illegal union-busting.

Everyone should be able to organize at work!

I just got an email from a former mentee telling me that one dinner conversation changed how he writes papers♥️

I told him: “just write the paper, get it out—the next one will be better, and the next even better.”

Perfectionism is a trap (and a way to procrastinate...:))

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

#GivingTuesday2025 is on December 2 this year when most charities will double or triple your donation! It's my favorite day of the year! Instead of buying a bunch of crap that your friends and family will eventually throw away, GIVE to animals, earth, people and your favorite charities!

one thing we need to do as a society is treat all fraud or theft over $100 million or so as a potential capital crime, with the possibility of execution for offenders.

We all need to agree on a date to drop our health insurance. Think of it as a super scary way to make healthcare affordable. Got to be coordinated. #HealthcareForAll
Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench.

In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

For all the excitement over Epstein's emails it is quite remarkable how no one has quite managed to establish how a fired private high school teacher managed to amass so much money in financial markets so quickly

New Epstein emails "seem to show Trump understood who Epstein was, how he and Maxwell were acting, and the kinds of crimes they were committing. He was adjacent to, if not involved in, those crimes."
