My family and I recently moved to Durham, NC, so this event on Friday evening feels especially meaningful. I'll be joining my friend Pastor Goodie Bell at Blacknall Presbyterian for a conversation about homelessness and housing justice, co-hosted by the Regulator Bookshop. Free and open to all.
Flyer for "Loving Our Neighbors: A Community Conversation on Homelessness" with journalist Brian Goldstone. Friday, Aug 14, 7–8:30pm at Blacknall Presbyterian Church, 1902 Perry St. Includes a photo of Brian and the cover of his book There Is No Place for Us.

Microbiologist & stem-cell researcher Dr. Ann Tsukamoto co-patented a process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells, 1991. Her work laid the literal groundwork for modern regenerative medicine and cancer treatment. She was born #OTD in 1952. #WomenInSTEM #medsky
A color photograph of Dr. Ann Tsukamoto (1952–present), the pioneering biologist and stem-cell researcher whose co-patented process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells revolutionized regenerative medicine and cancer therapeutics. Dr. Tsukamoto smiles warmly directly at the camera, her expression radiating intelligence, approachable confidence, and a proud, serene mood. She has shoulder-length, wavy grey and silver hair parted slightly to the side, framing her face. She wears a structured, dark grey or olive-green textured tweed jacket with an elegant raised mandarin collar. The background is a soft, beautifully blurred out-of-focus garden setting filled with lush green foliage, fronds, and natural sunlight filtering through the trees. The bright lighting casts a soft glow on her features, highlighting her historic legacy as a monumental figure for women in STEM.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

While the billionaire class is getting richer and richer, Gallup reports that 33% of Americans are cutting back on food, utilities and prescription drugs because of the high cost of health care. We need an economy that works for all, not just the 1%. We need Medicare for All.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.
