I’ve seen more pictures of Trump and Lev together than I have of Trump and his son Barron.

A reminder from @JAMA_current: A strong sense of purpose improves mental and physical health + overall quality of life.
What's the biggest obstacle to having purpose in late life?
A culture that silences and segregates its older members. #ExposeAgeism jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Worth noting: Any time Warren has spoken about sexism - like being fired for being pregnant or being sexually harassed - she has been accused of lying.
Whoever your candidate is, that says something about the price women pay for talking about their experiences. #DemDebate

1/3 It's great to see @AARP finally #ExposeAgeism. But why no call to action?

This is huge. It's time to pass the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act.
@RadicalAge @NYCSeniors @liveonny @nycfuture @AARPNY
Lets be clear - The House is restoring protections against age discrimination 4 older workers that #SCOTUS weakened. Vote is expected 2morrow. #Trump doesn’t want to protect older people in an election yr? & will claim Dems “do nothing”! More here: bit.ly/2FPb8eu

YES: #ExposeAgeism in medicine. And promote the fact that geriatricians perennially top the list of physicians most satisfied with their specialties -- despite the low pay, low status, and insurance-wrangling!
Geriatricians practice comprehensive medicine proactively & supportively, and stave off more serious and avoidable problems. Focus on structural ageism & ageism in healthcare for reasons docs are not choosing geriatric specialty. Brava @paula_span nytimes.com/2020/01/03/healt…

We olders need to join with the young #ClimateCrisis activists, like @Jamie_Margolin, who will inherit the planet.
Act like an ancestor.
"Climate change is not a problem of our generation’s making, but apparently it’s now up to us to do the work that should have been done decades ago," writes @Jamie_Margolin from @ThisIsZeroHour refinery29.com/2018/03/19327…

This was my worst fear.
I didn't want to say anything out of respect to the families but the timing was too much of a coincidence.

Valuable piece about ageism in Kenya -- where a bill seeking mandatory retirement at age 50 (!) is in parliament. standardmedia.co.ke/ureport/…

A gentle reminder that often when a Twitter Id (@) is a name followed by 8 numbers or so, this is often an indication of a fraudulent or questionable account or a bot.If your Twitter ID looks like this, others may be fearful to follow you, so you may want to consider changing it.

If Republican Senators move for a quick dismissal of the charges against the President, with no witnesses or documents, it will be because they are afraid of the truth.
Dismissal = cover-up
