saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Paxton has not agreed to a debate at any of the media outlets or venues that have said they would host over the past few months. Did he just say "yes" to Fox? 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I assume that has the same results as where I live. Parched land can't absorb that much water so quickly. Some plant life had died off so there aren't as many root systems holding things in place. Floods and lanslides. 121
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Give him credit for evil triumphs. Unprecedented grift, Supreme Court giving presidents legal immunity, trashing the East Wing, trashing alliances, etc. Come to think of it, the appropriate dystopian arch would probably have drones and weaponry. 010
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Is it good to announce where you are storing large numbers of weapons and that it's in the middle of some of your most meaningful historic sites? Sounds like an invitation to blow the thing up and see if the munitions increase the force of the blast. With a depleted military and sans allies. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The judge blocked them from selling the house, so the landlord switched back to renting it out. 002
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026People are asking about blood stains. As the landlord, who wanted to sell the house vacant, he carefully lured his tenant outside and killed him on the street or sidewalk. Besides no cleanup, maybe he avoided having to notify buyers that someone died in the house. 100
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The "Move fast and break things" model in the extreme. I worked at a hospital in the Bay Area where we were subject to efficiency innovations that made it harder to care for patients and increased staff injuries. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026No officer, I wasn't speeding, I was slowing down. I was going 90 miles an hour but then I slowed down to 89 miles an hour. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026You can sign up to text or call voters from home, write postcards. Make donations. My health is precluding door to door canvassing or calling, but I organized two postcard parties. 030
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026My Democratic congressperson has earned my vote with her actions; I can believe not all of them have. Dems can be more effective counteracting Trump's actions if they have the majority in the Senate and the House. 020

saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Trump Administration is giving other countries a really good reason to ban our food by gutting food safety agencies. 020
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026and we don't invest in public transit, because the petroleum and car companies want us to use their products. Where I live gas and rubber companies bought some electric streetcar companies and switched them to gas power buses. Eventually all the streetcar lines were lost, making room for more cars. 010
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I love that in recording the Spanish one, Dr. Hernandez is speaking Spanish, rather than Spanish dubbed in. I hope all the episodes have great sound bites they can promo. The one in Spanish felt more relatable while Dr. Hernandez was speaking without dubbing 010
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Boomer who would have yelled at that Boomer. I live in a very progressive area. Our local high school had a walk out protest and march. The anti-ICE watch people were recruited as safety monitors so there was a crowd of gray-haired people in reflective vests, running to try and keep up with teens. 050
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The fact that gas prices are bad everywhere, after Trump's horrifically bad idea of going to war with Iran, means everyone in the world should be complaining to our government, along with us. Since the government works for us, they ought to listen and care. 210
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 29/08/2026On accents-I'm white & US born, with a Spanish last name by marriage. I worked in a clinic with mostly Spanish-speaking patients and used my learned-as-an-adult Spanish. A Peruvian coworker wondered whether I was Latina. At a retirement party he saw me dancing salsa & merengue and decided I was. 120

saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I'm a nurse who worked in a high risk prenatal clinic with Maternal Fetal medicine specialists. Even apart from the draconian antiabortion laws-which are horrendous, some providers will decline to give pregnant women needed medical care or medication, thinking they are protecting the fetus. 040
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I'm an RN who had a serious adverse reaction to MMR. My work tested my immunity years later and I had lost my mumps immunity. Because I couldn't have MMR vax, there was nothing for me. I worked with pregnant patients. If I had lost measles or rubella immunity I might have chanced MMR again. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I wonder if he's ever been the one to take their babies in for shots and comfort them while they cry. Doing that five times instead of one is rough. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026San Francisco familiar with him due to his great work during AIDS crisis here. A friend who works at a gay-owned company gave me a Fauci Christmas ornament. 010
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026In general, for many people the choice of being detained in horrible conditions vs a voluntary departure exerts huge pressure to depart. And then you're still detained while they set it up. 010
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026My understanding: if he's out of office by August 3rd, there's a special election. Possible a Democrat would get voted in. If his seat is vacant August 4 or later, it stays vacant until the regular election. Maybe they think not have his vote is better than risking a Dem being elected. 120
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026As a health professional who got to see Fauci in zoom meetings, I am so grateful to him. I hate that taking the 5th will seem suspicious to some. He is so skilled, experienced and professional while dealing with a novel virus and dysfunctional administration. 1/2 110
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I hate that he had to take the 5th. Some will think it's a sign of wrongdoing; he was a highly skilled professional doing his best with a novel virus and a dysfunctional administration. I'm an RN and worked for SFDPH at the time. Was in Zoom meetings with Fauci and we all appreciated him so much. 110
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I had thought of the lab cut from 11 to 3 as being due to overall slashing of public health, but it makes sense it ties to USAID cuts. I worked at a county hospital/teaching hospital for UCSF. When patients had parasites, they might be referred to Tropical Medicine clinic at UCSF itself. 040
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Apparently it's okay if the lethality is both ways. 000

saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I appreciate that he was willing to share that, since it's a stigmatized disease, and increased awareness helps. 010
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Yes, being soft on your own war criminals doesn't look good to the rest of the world. 1281

Homan's current statements are eerily similar. I was surprised they made the threat in front of an American but 1/2 101
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 17/07/2026We try not to every year. We've finally attended our neighborhood's weekly crop swap, so we know we can bring out excess lettuce starts next year. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 17/07/2026My partner eats it; I can't bring myself to. He'll be healthy enough to look out for me if I get it. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 17/07/2026It makes sense that anyone connected to the Trump administration would be unfamiliar with a common method of keeping laborer's healthy in high temperatures. They don't care about workers, they don't care about health unless it fits RFK's wacko beliefs, and climate change is a hoax so you can't prep. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Our local ABC news station's license is being threatened by the FCC. I'm glad two networks aren't airing the Trump tantrum, which may divide Trump's vitriol against them. 000
saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 17/07/2026When SF skies turned red orange in 2020 it was big news. It might be that I'm not taking in enough news nowadays, but it I haven't seen much about this. It's like mass shootings; we have, horrifyingly, gotten used to them 000

saraparedesrn.bsky.social @saraparedesrn.bsky.social · 16/07/2026My partner, who grows lettuce in our side yard, says he read that home gardeners are flexing big time about their lettuce.
