We all want to have control over our health & the health of our loved ones- but that's impossible. Making healthy choices does not eliminate illness. RFK Jr. & his ilk are selling Americans magical thinking that if they just do individualism strongly enough they can protect their families health 2/

But, that's a lie. What really improves health outcomes is the exact type of research and public health infrastructure that RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are dismantling. The illusion of individual control makes us feel better but doesn't improve the nation's health. 3/

I'm so f*cking proud of Danna for telling her story with such brutal honesty and so clearly illustrating the false hope that MAHA is selling to Americans 4/

Second win of the week! @lewan.bsky.social and a whole team of experts released the Anti-Autocracy Handbook: A Scholars' Guide to Navigating Democratic Backsliding. A useful read for all researchers with information about the common playbook of autocrats and ways to respond 5/

The handbook also covers the basics of digital privacy, allows people to share their stories publicly or anonymously (for both accountability and the historical record), and features a living Wiki that will continuously be updated with new links and information 6/
