BREAKING: California is the THE FIRST STATE in the nation to approve state-based health coverage for ALL income-eligible residents, regardless of age or immigration status. Congratulations to all the advocates that organized for YEARS to make this a reality. #Health4All #CALeg
Instead of one of the debates, I would be interested to see candidates get five hours to make a monthly budget for a family of four on a $60k income, including a specific place to rent, an actual grocery list, transportation, utilities, etc.
I’m just a girl standing in front of her government asking once again when will vaccines for kids under 5 be available
When you don't count the main way Europe does redistribution (social insurance), it looks like Europe doesn't do a lot of redistribution.

I've spent a lot of time the last ~18 months speaking to folks applying to/depending on public benefits The biggest insight, for me, is that making folks jump through less hoops is a hell of a lot better than debating over how we might design better hoops
The asymmetry where Republicans weren't bound by the filibuster in building this Supreme Court but Democrats are bound by it in legislatively responding to its rulings will prove devastating if Democrats don't change it.
It's no news that the U.S. doesn't have much of a social safety net. What we found out in the pandemic, though, is that even if we changed our minds and decided to send relief to Americans, we don't even have the infrastructure to do it. thebaffler.com/salvos/rough-a…
State budget support for the University of California system has waned considerably since the 1980s. In turn, the UC relied more on tuition revenue. Today the UC's core funding for academics is made up almost equally from state dollars and student tuition bit.ly/2XNNH1d

A little startled to hear @NPR reporters this morning casually saying "You'll need to verify your identity by scanning a government ID as well as your face." IOW, the IRS is now using face recognition tech in at least some processes. Not cool. npr.org/2021/07/28/102…
I remember watching Andre Agassi go through a rough patch at some point, just wasn’t playing very well, and my dad’s like, “I think he must have fallen in love.” 🤣
Medical debt among Americans is far larger than was previously known. Whether a state expanded Medicaid made a difference. nyti.ms/3xXdNfF
Dolly Parton gave us "Jolene," "I Will Always Love You," and a vaccine, I am not impressed by these men. ✨
TurboTax tried to cheat people into paying for free services – and now they’re getting out of the game. This is the moment for the IRS to create a return-free option and its own tax prep service. I’ve got a bill for that, but the IRS can do it right now. propublica.org/article/turbot…
finally, I know some say Congress did too much, took too many risks. NO! for decades they have not done enough. I watched the train wreck of a slow recovery after the Great Recession. I watched Congress step away and throw it in reverse. DOING TOO LITTLE BEFORE DID IMMENSE DAMAGE

That moment after the Philippines’ historic first World Cup win when we see our girl and she sees us!
Switching gears from pink to sharks because... It's #SharkWeek! A lot of people ask me if I am scared of sharks when I see them, and the answer is always the same, never scared! Quite the contrary, always in awe and trying to take pictures! This one is a Gray Reef Shark.
So proud of my team at Steinhart Aquarium- they raised these anthias and hogfish from eggs collected in our Philippine Coral Reef habitat. Working with marine fish larvae is interesting and difficult, but this is the future for public aquariums.
Wow, seeing my photo in the cover of @Nature is something else!
Toshio Asaeda stands out among a succession of artists who found a welcoming community @calacademy. He emigrated from Japan to NY in 1923, the year that Steinhart Aquarium opened, first working as a taxidermist at @AMNH
... but I sure wish that layer of good people beneath the surface got more attention. I wish we valorized people who work hard & cooperate & accomplish real things. I wish the Asshole Circus did not so completely dominate the headlines. It is sending all the wrong signals.
“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.
Somebody write me an essay about why MN/WA/CO have been so wildly successful in passing whole-of-government climate policies while CA/NY, with all their seeming advantages, keep falling frustratingly short.
I was disapointed to miss @warriors star Draymond Green when he came to the @calacademy last week but this article by @BrownieAthletic sure does a great job at capturing the heart-warming event for autistic kids. theathletic.com/4378245/2023/0
On April 4, 1853, seven men gathered in a candle-lit room in San Francisco to create the first science academy west of the Mississippi. Just three years after California joined the US, @calacademy was born. Today we're celebrating our 170th Anniversary. Happy Academy Day!
Politics are part of this, but mostly it's just, I'm getting old, and I'd like to spend my twilight years in a place with a high quality of life -- decent transit, walkability, a community, people on the streets, no constant danger of guns, etc.
NEW: Michigan Democratic-led House votes to repeal Right-to-Work in 56-53 vote.
I’ve been thinking about how the first time you fall in love you’re like “wow nobody has EVER felt this love before, only we know about it” but the first time you have kids you’re like “I can’t believe every parent feels this love and I never knew it was going on all around me”.
That gift is from all of us who want to thank you every day for giving us hope that there is a politician that cares about justice! Here’s to a rapid complete recovery.
Look what I received from one of the greatest musicians on earth, a gift I will treasure almost as much as his song “I am a patriot.” You are about to see a step up in my chemo head-cover fashions for the next few months. Rock on Stevie, keep spreading the light.
An awkward fact I like to repeat: if you live in the US & you want practical progress made on climate change, the most directly efficacious thing you can do is help elect Democratic majorities in state legislatures.
