The day after New York City seems to have elected a socialist mayor, the so-called newspaper of record (the New York Times) pollutes its editorial page with the thoughts of two repulsive reactionaries, Andrew Sullivan and Peter Theil. Sorry. The right will never love you.

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

Humans can achieve light speed. That’s how quickly a consensus forms among elites for war.

It is possible to love your country and not fall for this constant warmongering. There’s nothing patriotic about supporting this assault.

Why does the phrase “broken record” come to mind? I know this is incomprehensible to non-Boomers.

As an award-winning historian, I have to say that the American intervention in the Israeli-Iranian War is some seriously stupid shit. We will regret this.

The Dodgers leadership team is the absolute opposite of the Texas Rangers, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas sports teams are run by the most amoral, reactionary buffoons.

The grandmother of Dominic’s girlfriend SuJin passed away recently. Dominic helped out. He had time to pose for a nice picture.

I give an overview of the history of eugenics and its relationship to the anti-vax movement in this podcast with @stevanzetti.bsky.social. BTW, my new book “The Purifying Knife: The Troubling History of Eugenics in Texas” was released June 3. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

I appeared on this podcast I occasionally co-host, this time as a guest along with one of my heroes, vaccine developer Dr. Peter Hotez. We discuss the history of the anti-vaccine movement. @stevanzetti.bsky.social @coolzonemedia.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Conspiracy theories and rejection of long-established science combine to kill vulnerable people in Texas and, as usual, what happens in Texas doesn’t stay there.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, state Attorney General Ken “Plea Bargain” Paxton, and a state representative from a Dallas suburb launched a phony criminal investigation of a planned Muslim community. This persecution is naked religious liberty. open.substack.com/pub/drmphill...

Netanyahu wants war with everyone forever because the moment there is peace his government collapses and he goes to prison. The US should not send another dime to that racist, warmongering regime.

A @CNN reporter a few minutes ago said that LA police arrested the most “outspoken agitators.” Agitators. Thanks for making your pro-authoritarian bias obvious.

Based on history, some of you should be lecturing the cops to not be violent, not the protestors.
