“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

how many of our kids and seniors have to die before our city makes actual change unfortunately connie chan is spending her political capital fighting for car brained reactionaries to try and remove Sunset Dunes park instead of making streets safer and improving transit in her district

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

This is a great read from @walkerbragman.bsky.social on the real reasons—and they are not good—for why COVID19 vaccines are now being restricted. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

It's official. I filed a Senate Resolution of Disapproval. RFK is CLEARLY in violation of his constitutional oath. He must resign.

The media & the right made SF a proving ground for harm reduction - which was never even implemented at scale - and claimed rising ODs (from the emergence of fentanyl) meant harm reduction “didn’t work.” Since cutting harm reduction, deaths are up 50%. Cause harm reduction works & policing doesn’t.

“Glue that holds America together” is no exaggeration. Besides the ~80M people who need it for healthcare coverage, it’s one of the primary funding sources for most healthcare facilities across the country. It’s not just that addiction treatment will now be 80 miles away, the hospital will be, too.

There are legitimate issues with the pharmaceutical industry and how it's regulated; the wellness industry is even more predatory, like it's not even close. Woo woo bullshit on par with leeches and humors

Casey Means is an ableist grifter who thinks disease and death are your fault for not buying the $45 olive oil from a “regenerative farm” that she has an affiliate link for. She did not complete residency and is not board certified in any recognized medical specialty.

I have a lot to say about the resurgent young men / masculinity discourse but for now will confine myself to: I wish I knew how to convince teenage boys/young men is how little of the world actually requires or even invites the hypermisogynist "tough guy" aesthetic

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Transit agencies must do everything possible to avoid service cuts. Longer waits and reduced networks push even low-income riders to get a car – and to abandon transit for good. Me in Bloomberg CityLab 🧵

It cannot be said enough that a major reason for declining birth rates is the plummet in teens giving birth—something that we generally agree is a good outcome for society
