A physician in Texas saw patients and offered quack treatments while he himself was sick from measles. This is completely unethical.

A preliminary budget draft leaked to the Washington Post outlines plans by the Trump administration to cut: - the NIH budget by 40% - the CDC budget by 44% - the HHS budget by 33% This will not make America healthy. It will make Americans sicker and more vulnerable to disease outbreaks.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

I think this passage from Robert Paxton’s Anatomy of Fascism on German society’s failure to respond to Kristallnacht is worth reading. “Many ordinary Germans were offended by the brutalities carried out under their windows. Yet their widespread distaste was transitory and without lasting effect.”

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.
