60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%. Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.

RFK Jr: Chronic diseases have increased by 20x since 1960. Chronic disease researchers: That is false. RFK Jr.: Hear me out. If we get people not to vaccinate, they will die of infectious disease instead, and that will reduce the proportion of chronic disease deaths and I’ll be proven right.

Diversity is the single universal indicator of the health and resilience of a given thing. Increased diversity makes systems stronger. Protest in as many ways as you can. Be unavoidable.

Pam Bondi says DOJ attorneys will be fired if they are not "zealous advocates" of the US. Does she knows what zealot means? The language is so telling. Are we still considering this snitching on herself, or have we finally come around to the fact that this is openly authoritarian horseshit 💩🪰 1/2

This is fucking abominable. It's unreal that this administration WANTS this to happen to people. Never forget what Vought said, they desire to inflict trauma. May they all burn in hell for it.

Tryna start some shit with a bee hotel movement but apparently people think all bees are angry little assholes who barely deserve to live, so I guess we're gonna get what we deserve as a species for that view. See you at my farm stand when honey is $20 a gram.

Wishing for the stage of society where people can simply say they have sensory sensitivity without having to stash it with autism. No, we are not all a little autistic. Sometimes you are just picky.

Accusation in a mirror (AiM) is a propaganda tactic where someone projects their own harmful intent onto others. This false attribution is used to justify aggressive or defensive actions.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Art historian: This is what dedicated displays of physical submission look like. Kimberly Gloryhole's gaping maw aside, note how fucking vacant all the eyes are. There's a chick on YouTube with a whole drawer full of fake eyes with more depth. Lol @ Gaetz looking hopeful for a bussy grab.

I encourage everyone to start calling your senators and demand that they elect a new Dem leader. They need to do it now, and not wait until he waves the white flag again. Get someone in there that realizes we're fighting for democracy, not the next mid-term.

Don't worry, none of the MAGAs who screeched about Democrats not standing up during the State of the Union when the biggest enemy cancer research in America has ever had used a pediatric brain cancer patient as a prop are going to take this deportation of a _U.S. citizen_ sitting down {crickets}

I have two friends, neither of whom are politics reporters but who both work in “the media,” who both told me yesterday that they aren’t even allowed to write or post about Trump with work accounts because describing anything he’s doing objectively would appear “anti-Trump.”

@jschwartzreporter.bsky.social CapMetro's new payment app Umo Mobility was approved at the end of Jan as part of Transit Plan 2035, but it's a privacy nightmare and apparently it doesn't even work. Data harvesting enterprise by Cubic Corporation so they can drone strike us more effectively I guess?

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.
