Will springing forward an hour leave you feeling groggy? Losing an hour's sleep has real-world consequences on "Sleepy Monday." @AricPrather shares how daylight saving time sets our sleep back and offers tips on how to adjust to the change. tiny.ucsf.edu/IOO8r1@UCSFPsychiatry
2023 is on track to be the hottest year on record, but we still have Republicans claiming the climate crisis is a "hoax." What planet are they living on?
Republicans need to lose and lose big. This isn’t about pivoting. The GOP was fine destroying America to retain power & they tied themselves to a ticking time bomb to do it. The consequences of their actions must be catastrophic.
Ever notice how forgiving loans is suddenly a big problem when students get much-needed relief, but nobody blinks an eye when the richest 20% of American households get their PPP loans forgiven? Or when corporations are handed billions in subsidies?
At UCSF, we remain committed to overcoming the historical and systemic biases that limit underrepresented students' access to a University of California education.

We had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004 that prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons and banned magazines with 10 rounds or more.
Mass shootings dropped during that decade.
We did it once and should do it again.

Let’s be clear: Republicans ran up the deficit with massive tax breaks for billionaires & giant corporations. Now they claim we need to cut Social Security & Medicare in the name of fiscal responsibility. Give me a break. They just want government to work for the rich & powerful.
ONE MILLION VIEWS … lets keep it going to #ElectionDay … we cannot stop oppression anywhere unless we’re willing to call it out everywhere. #WeWontGoBack

Holy shit. A Christian Conservative who voted Republican her entire life just called on all women to vote for DEMOCRATS.
RT to get Jill's story everywhere.
Yet another thing @HillaryClinton is right about. If we want to hang on to our democracy, we need to vote for pro-democracy Secretaries of State. It's that simple.
