42 years ago today, the NYT published its first coverage of what would be the AIDS epidemic. It would be difficult to overstate the centrality of And the Band Played On to my personal and professional development in health politics and public health research. I wish we’d learned more lessons from this period, but am grateful to be able to teach this important but painful history to my students.

The Bay Area has the highest number of billionaires in the world and the second highest number of centi-billionaires. There are 285,000 millionaires, whose numbers exploded during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, relative and absolute inequality has continued to grow. In SF, the number of people living in poverty has gone from 7% to more than 11%. 1 in 9 children in San Francisco live in poverty.

These folks can drop millions of dollars into political campaigns to build political power like we buy a burrito. They can set the agenda and control the narrative.

Goood timing, on the timing! 😂
Super back into my #celtic #crochet. A lovely and warm wrap.
I’m a genuine disaster with plants, so taking it as a sign of good luck that after more than a month, my St. Patrick’s Day shamrocks are rocking it.
In what will be a very cold evening, in the East Bay. #sfbayarea
Cold. Storm coming in. #SFBayArea

Republicans aren’t afraid of “Critical Race Theory,” they are afraid of critical thinking.

They know the biggest threat facing their party is a new multi-racial generation of young people unafraid to speak truth to power.

That’s why they are waging a war on America’s teachers.

As seen in #Berkeley today. 😂
