World's oldest practicing pediatrician until she retired at age 103 (after 73 yrs). At the time of her death at age 114 & 60 days, she was the 5th-oldest validated living person in the world & 3rd-oldest in the US. #WomenInSTEM

I remember in 2016 when Republicans trying to defend the obviously defective character of Donald Trump would say "he seems to be a good dad" but that turned out to not be really true either.

There are few people who are cartoon villains, irredeemable in every way. But I think Trump might be one.

Politics aside, Trump is completely deranged and needs to be removed as president. He is clearly cognitively impaired, how on earth is he allowed to continue?

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Yeah, that should have been the turning point. After nothing was done to enact common sense gun laws I KNEW America was going to Hell in a handbasket.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔

A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

An event to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah was targeted by gunmen at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.

Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the Jewish community—in Australia and worldwide—as they grapple with this horrific act of hate-fueled mass gun violence.

People love reminding me that I'm not allowed to post about American politics cause I'm not American.

Even ignoring the problems with that concept in general, my wife is American, their family all lives in America and one of my brothers lives in America. I'm allowed to care about their hell hole.

🎉 BREAKING: WE DID IT! 🎉

After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!

This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.

I hate how accurate this is. It's been this way for my entire adult life.

Oh, and don't forget the "Now is not the time to politicize anything" side hustle. That train is never late.
Another mass shooting, this time at Brown. 2 dead, 8 injured. MAGA & Corporate media waiting to ID the shooter but we know the drill
•Immigrant—> Expand ICE
•Muslim—> Expand Muslim ban
•Black—> Expand prisons & police
•White—> Troubled lone wolf with rough childhood

And still 0 action on gun safety

You’re right. The comment about being hunted that my friend made coupled with what I’ve seen done by ICE just really got to me. We have an ugly history that started with small pox laden blankets & slave ships; we don’t seem willing to learn from it & do better. I did not mean to minimize the past.
