When the leader of a nation sends troops to cities within his own country and views citizens he should be protecting as enemies and no one stops him… we are not a democracy, we are past oligarchy, we are at autocracy! Wake up America!

If you are going to the gas station for a “wellness” drink, that alone is a strong indication that wellness does not mean “healthy”

Cash bail creates a two-tiered system of justice where the wealthy can buy their way out of jail.
Cashless bail lets judges detain people based on flight risk and community threat, rather than financial means, and does not raise crime rates.
Don't fall for Trump's lies.

Last week, I cycled from San Francisco to Los Angeles in the final AIDS/LifeCycle ride. We raised over $17M this final year! Plus while riding, we donate over $119K to the Bradley School. This event provides live saving services, fights the stigma of HIV, and brings life long memories and friends.

For those of us who’ve done AIDS/LifeCycle multiple times, you cannot help but be nostalgic, excited, and sad as we prepare for the final ride. We embark on our final journey on June 1st. Here is a video I made after ALC 12 (2013).

My first AIDS ride was in 1999 when it was the California AIDS Ride. This June, we embark on our Final 545 ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Many have forgotten of purpose. So let me share the origin of the reason… giving.aidslifecycle.org/participant/...

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter.
People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government.
And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

A post Valentine’s Day AIDS/LifeCycle training ride. We rode 30 miles and over 2700 ft of elevation gain! I’m trying to raise funds to support HIV prevention, support, services in this unprecedented time. #ridetoendAIDS giving.aidslifecycle.org/participant/...

The change is only for the American people. Another “wag the dog” move by this nut job! www.bbc.com/news/article...
Google maps changes Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for US users - BBC News
The update aligns with Donald Trump's order that the body be referred to as the Gulf of America.

Today was the AIDS/LifeCycle Expo in San Francisco. It was fun, full of energy, yet also sad knowing it’s the last one.

Two years from now, I want you to remember that I said this:
There will not be free or fair elections again in America. We elected a dictator, backed by the most corrupt political party in history, and we’re no longer a democracy.
Things won’t get better— only steadily worse.

Since taking office a week ago, the "No new wars" president has threatened Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Mexico, and Colombia, approved Israel's use of the 2,000 lb bombs Biden refused, and cut off all other foreign aid. Egg prices up.

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

Today was a great day for an AIDS/LifeCycle training ride with the East Bay Wildcats. We will meet every Saturday out of Orinda BART, so check out the ALC calendar and RSVP if you plan on joining us! Also, I’m still trying to reach my fundraising goal!

Today, as I’m leaving my Dept. of Energy National Lab workday with a final weekend under the current administration, I can only guess how much will be changing when we return on Tuesday after our MLK holiday weekend. #braceyourself

Saturday was lots of fun! I started my day with an AIDS/LifeCycle training ride and finished it off with a concert in Berkeley. It was so fun seeing The English Beat after almost 35 years! Dave (the only original member) was so charming and he had a fun backup band. A nice lady also gave me a ring.
