Some people condemn professional trolls who share child sexual abuse material. We prefer to take a vaguely amused, aloof stance that treats them as “characters” and denotes our contempt for people with beliefs or values. Tomorrow in the NYT.

DOGE brutality was the ultimate manifestation of the "free market" libertarian movement's generational quest to portray the destruction of federal governance and corporate oversight as the path to utopia many of those think tankers should be ostracized almost as intensely as the fascists

Once, I had an adult patient die of a massive PE and I had to tell the only family member present, their teenage son. I'm telling you this because the job is hard enough, we don't need the government to throw out Medicaid. We don't need the anti-vaxxers bringing back Measles, Polio and Tetanus.

Biden failed at many things but he made a major break with Clintonite free trade and especially Obama's pint-sized stimulus policy and got basically no credit for it. Not Great for the prospects of future full employment

It's weird how, "people on social media were mean to me" is processed as, "The democratic party has rejected my sensible policy and political ideas." Don't think basedtrotsky2006 is part of the upper echelons of the Democratic party but could be wrong.

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

Yeah, it’s wild to see how much the Trump administration is actively punching large portions of the Florida GOP in the face. It remains to be seen whether his attacks on Cubans and Venezuelans will have any electoral consequences, though. Lot of class issues around old arrivals vs new arrivals.

This is really a key point. Whatever your claimed ideology, if you do not have a core beneath it of commitment to increasing human flourishing or decreasing suffering or some combination of the two, then how can you be counted on for anything?

“One consistent theme throughout the Bible is God’s concern for those who are marginalized or vulnerable in their society. In the Bible, this was often the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the poor. The Bible is replete w/rebukes of those who ignore their needs and the spiritual peril of greed…”

“The prophet Isaiah warns us: ‘Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless’ (10:1-2).”

"People will not lose their Medicaid if they can overcome an impossible obstacle course of administrative burdens we are imposing precisely because we know people can't overcome them" - would be more accurate, but less catchy. 🧵

NEW: The Supreme Court declines to review the constitutionality of state laws that ban assault weapons. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch would take up the case. Kavanaugh says the laws are likely unconstitutional but the issue needs to percolate further. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

“Reps. Mike Flood, R-Neb., & Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, were booed when they mentioned their support for the package at events in their districts. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, also faced pushback after she defended the proposed cuts, telling attendees at a town hall on Fri. that ‘we all are going to die.’”

Even though cataract surgery is generally safe and effective, cataract is still a leading cause of blindness worldwide. We need to understand the optical and materials properties of the eye lens to make better replacement lenses. This budget would eliminate that, including my lab's work.

as I have to reiterate this frequently: I’m a specialist in using consumer and hobby small drones for civilian purposes (like mapping and humanitarian aid), and I also research small drones in conflict to better understand how to protect civilians from them.

1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously. 2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

Russian bomber aircraft that have been striking civilians in Ukraine for almost three and a half years now, are burning in bulk. Russia does not produce such aircraft anymore. This unprecedented attack will go down in history.

#Ukraine has once again proven that Russia can and must be defeated — forced into peace through strength. Today is yet another day of humiliation for Putin. Just like when the Moskva was destroyed, the Kerch bridgd was struck, the Black Sea Fleet ships were sunk and Kursk region was invaded⤵️
