DC's @eleanornorton.bsky.social has long supported those with Alzheimer's and their families. On Friday, we thanked her and asked for help funding the NIH and CDC as well as passing the Alz Screening & Prevention Act to make it easier to get a diagnosis. #endalz

6 people in business attire, with a lot of purple and purple accents, smiling at the camera. They're standing in front of a wall and door with Eleanor Holmes Norton's name and two flags.

So disappointed that my fav local donut shop (Good Company Doughnuts) in DC is proud to support those doing so much harm to people who live, work, and patronize biz like theirs in DC. No donut is worth that harm. (And those who know me know how big a deal this is.)

Lol @duolingoespanol.bsky.social using AI to respond to my concerns about declining quality of lessons due to AI. I’m a fan of AI in many cases but it’s clear that Duolingo is using AI to churn out content without review. After a streak of 1243 days there, you’ll find me on Babbel. ✌️
An email screenshot containing the following text: Oscar: Hi there, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your experience with Duolingo, particularly regarding the Stories feature. We value your long-term commitment to language learning with our platform. Stories are a feature designed for reading and listening comprehension, available for English speakers learning Spanish among other language pairs. They appear throughout the learning path on iPhone, Android, and web platforms. You can continue to access all course content with a free account, including Stories. The course content remains the same whether you're using the free version or Super Duolingo. Your specific observations about the story quality, voice concerns, and AI implementation have been documented. This kind of detailed user feedback is important for understanding our learners' experiences. Oscar AI Support mattkatawicz: Canceled due to increased use of AI Hi Duolingo team, I wanted to let you know that I've let my Super subscription expire. In particular on the stories on the Spanish language course that the stories make less sense and are less compelling, A screenshot of the Duolingo app showing a streak of 1243 days.

#AlzForum was this week & we got to celebrate all that @eleanornorton.bsky.social has done for the Alzheimer’s community and share new bills to make blood tests more accessible and improve frontline Alz care. So grateful for her support! #endalz @alzassociation.bsky.social @alzimpact.bsky.social

Five advocates dressed in business attire with purple sashes standing with a member of Congresswoman Holmes Norton’s staff, Michael, all looking at the camera smiling. They’re standing in a formal office with beige walls, wood furniture, a black leather couch with a pillow that has the shape of DC in red with “51!” written on it.

Chief Science Officer of the @alzassociation.bsky.social, @mariacarrilloalz.bsky.social, shared how we’re attacking #alzheimers comprehensively by finding better ways to diagnose, finding varieties of medications, and finding the best ways to reduce risk. We’re making progress to #endalz! #alzforum

So grateful for Councilmember @anitabondsdc.bsky.social's team for meeting with advocates from the @alzassociation.bsky.social to talk about how we can increase public awareness about Alzheimer's in the District. Glad to have such a wonderful partner on the council! #endalz @alzimpact.bsky.social

Some have said that Alzheimer's research is not being targeted by this admin. But it is abundantly clear that it is being devastated by their attacks on educational institutions, "DEI," and general cost and staffing cuts across agencies. This is a crisis. #endalz #alzimpact
A screenshot of a small part of the Harvard.edu website that has the header "Alzheimer's" with a depiction of neurons and the caption, "Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with dementia. Researchers from Harvard-affiliated Mass General Brigham developed an at-home olfactory test that can identify those at risk of Alzheimer’s years before symptoms appear. Earlier detection would allow doctors to intervene early."

On #TransDayOfVisibility I proudly shout my support for trans & non-binary people. Every person, (trans or not) deserves to live authentically and openly, access life-saving healthcare, and to be treated with respect. Trans rights are human rights. They must be defended. #standupfightback

Huge thank you to @eleanornorton.bsky.social for her co-sponsorship of the Credit for Caregiving Act, helping caregivers receive a small but significant tax break for their caregiving expenses. Rep Norton is such a consistent supporter of the Alzheimer’s community! 💜 #endalz @alzimpact.bsky.social

Our political leaders are hell-bent on dismantling the institutions and norms that allow our society & economy to function, that (attempt to) protect the most vulnerable among us. We must speak out and stop billionaires from destroying our country for their own prosperity.

A white man in a beanie, jacket, gloves, and sunglasses standing in the grass in front of the U.S. Capitol building, holding a sign saying "no tyrants, no kings" with other protestors behind him. Four people standing in the grass in front of the U.S. Capitol building holding signs saying "arrest Elon," "no tyrants, no kings," and "only the weakest, most incompetent think they are above the law". Many protestors are walking behind them. A sea of protestors, many with signs, most bundled up for warmth, standing in front of the U.S. Capitol building, under a bright blue sky. A close up of some of the signs protestors are holding including "Stop the turd reich!" with a swastika crossed out, another that says "H-O-T-T-O-G-O Elon Musk has got to go", another that says "F-Elon", an American flag, and many other signs that are only partially visible with government buildings in the background.
