I was diagnosed with cancer in April. Unfortunately, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy couldn’t tame this, and my medical team is now focused on keeping me comfortable while I spend the last chapter of my life with my partner, family, and friends. 1/4

Brett Favre is the welfare queen you were warned about.

Unreal. #January6thCommitteeHearings

[ABC News @ABC]

JUST IN: Jan. 6 Committee shares previously unseen footage of congressional leaders from both parties while Capitol was breached by rioters.

"It's just horrendous. And all at the instigation of the president of the United States," Speaker Pelosi said. https://t.co/HMTUlyeFrp

Don't forget to acknowledge your cat or dog in your thesis. Remember, dogs and cats are people too.

@AstroKateF I am so exciting to be following you!! Please keep posting these amazing tidbits!

As London hits 40C and wildfires burn in Spain / Portugal, I'm thinking about how celebrities take 15 minute flights in their private jets.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

This is mind blowingly exciting.

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

[Meg Foster @astro__meg]

I stand with millions of women today grieving our collective loss of rights. We must fight back and it will start by registering to vote and showing up in November. #BansOffOurBodies

[Tiffany D. Jackson @WriteinBK]

Forced birth in a country that doesn’t have mandatory maternity leave or universal healthcare…

Tomorrow would have been their last day of school for the year. 😢

If America can afford an $800B annual military budget, a $2T tax cut for 600 billionaires, a $6T bill on never ending wars, AND $10T in Corp bailouts—none of which helped working Americans—then it can afford a *one time* $1.8T student loan cancellation for 45M working Americans.

@lindsey_cg I applied to 20 REUs my junior year thinking that with an average of 5% acceptance I would get into 1. I did not.

One Black man peacefully taking a knee to protest racism is “out of line” but hundreds of white supremacists violently storming the Capitol in a deadly insurrection is “legitimate political discourse.”🤔

But remember, it isn’t about racism, it’s about economic anxiety.🙄

[Meg Foster @astro__meg]

Explaining the collapse of a wave function as equivalent to the collapse of ignorance. 🥂

[Ash Jogalekar @curiouswavefn]

Freeman Dyson on the "collapse" of the wave function.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

A reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.

If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Since 2020 Govt has forgiven $600B in PPP loans—no one objects to cancel PPP debt.

Since 1980 Govt has forgiven $10T in corporate bailouts—no one objects to cancel Corp debt.

Since 1960—$1.8T in student loans suffocates 45M Americans—but canceling *student* debt is radical??🤔

[Meg Foster @astro__meg]

@kamryngooden I just did the same thing. Onto greener pastures but heartbreaking at the same time. You put your feelings into words beautifully. Good for you and best of luck!
