NYT is claiming it is Ukraine’s fault for two autocrats scheming to carve it up, pillage is assets, murder it people: it should have given Trump more bribes & not have dressed so provocative near Putin.

I always wear a mask indoors I even wear it at huge pulmonology congresses (ERS, @atscommunity.bsky.social etc.), often 1 of a few doing so (peer pressure is a big thing 😑) But I unmask when I'm speaking on a stage bc I learnt that many people w hearing impairment rely on lip reading to understand.

Although the majority of people around the world are worried about climate change, most still feel it is a future issue or one that only affects the natural environment. They couldn’t be more wrong: climate change is already affecting what’s on our kitchen counter!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? The new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up.

Apropos of nothing, I'm rereading all my histories on the fall of the Roman Republic. It's an ancient tale where ambitious Romans co-opted the populist cause, which ultimately led to the destruction of their democracy, a devastating civil war & headlong into the hands of mad, autocratic rulers.

Last week, JD Vance gave Europe an ultimatum: it can align with the Trump administration, or face its wrath. To comply, Europe needs to embrace the extreme right, repeal tech rules the US “will not accept,” and allow Silicon Valley to dominate its market. It should tell the US to take a hike.

You can tell Nancy Mace stopped paying attention to biology after the first month of 5th grade because 1 in 500 people born with male phenotypes have XXY chromosomes and 1 in 20K born as “biological males” actually have XX chromosomes. Even “biological sex” isn’t actually binary anywhere in nature.

“Microscopic particles emitted from brake pads can be more toxic than those emitted in diesel vehicle exhaust, a study has found.” People generally associate pollution from cars as being from exhaust pipes… but that’s only part of the problem with cars.

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.
