January 2 is a special date in my life. While I was born on November 21, in many ways I feel like today is the birthday to the new life that was formed when I learned I had leukemia at the age of 15.

Hey all! Yesterday’s surgery was a success and I’m feeling great already!

In less than 24 hours, I'm going to be on an OR table with a neurosurgeon cutting into my brain. In the last 2 weeks, my long-ago life as a childhood leukemia survivor reached out and grabbed hold again, the radiation from 1991 that saved me then, forming a tumor now.

All the tv news networks are running the funeral for a monarchy we ousted and basically doing little or nothing on Puerto Rico. Which has been devastated in a storm.

There's a lot to explore here for me, and I'm looking forward to coming out on the other side and writing about this experience.

5 years ago today, I got a pair of Nike Free RNs from @ProjectOutrun and on the back, they said "There is no finish line." I wanted that there because of my leukemia battle. Clearly I had forgotten, but no more.

Whatever you do today, please do NOT retweet this video showing the tiny crowd at Trump’s rally last night.

Don’t ruin Trump’s weekend. https://t.co/jaMQmC0iwV

In one sense, the most famous US universities can be divided into two categories: hedge funds with academic units, and football teams with academic units (in a few cases both).

Tom Brady took a $1M PPP loan. He made $83M that year and purchased a multi million dollar boat days after the loan

Brett Favre took $5M earmarked for people in MS living beneath the poverty level

Colin Kaepernick took a knee

Who lost their NFL career?

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

If it were me, and I was trying to push back against being labeled“extreme,” I wouldn’t use taxpayer money to kidnap innocent children from a state I am not the governor of and fly them and their parents to an island in another state in which I am also not the governor.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Do I have this right, Colin Kaepernick lost his job for taking a knee for justice, but Brett Favre took money from social programs to fund his daughter’s gym?

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Ted Cruz is proving a point I made in my article. When places like Martha’s Vineyard prove they can be compassionate to immigrants, the fascists will just try to ship humans to to somewhere else.
Because the point isn’t to *solve* a problem, it’s to make one.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

Just so it’s clear, Colin Kaepernick never helped to create a criminal scheme to steal millions of dollars in welfare funds from a state to have a stadium built for himself or his loved ones, but Brett Favre did.

Martha's Vineyard resident with some words

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I remember how folks stepped up to help Texans when you left them cold and hungry during the freeze.

We will welcome these families too. They have so much to offer.

You do seem to be struggling at your job, though. Maybe you should consider if this is the right work for you.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

So if I’m understanding this correctly DeSantis hired a woman named Perla to prowl the streets of San Antonio, lure migrants onto a plane under false pretenses of a trip to Boston and expedited work visas, and then dropped them in Martha’s Vineyard

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

Seeing DeSantis try and "own the libs" by sending immigrants to Martha's Vineyard and watching the people there come together to help and care for them says everything about who Republicans are versus who Democrats are.
