Tips for creating a good podcast for organizations: Don't cheap out. Get a team, not just one person who is expected to be a Swiss Army Knife. All of the actually successful podcasts out there have a team. The solo grind is only good for DIYers, NOT professional orgs.

Claiming the federal government doesn't need to play a role in disaster response and recovery is like saying toddlers don't need adult guidance to avoid running into traffic. You can say it, but that doesn't make it true.

They could just read the research literature.* Or, easier still, just ask people who’ve worked in this space for years. It’s widely reported that the biggest part of the apparent "rise" is changes in diagnostic criteria and more awareness. Note Bhattacharya conflates two questions (cont’d) 1/3

Someone explain to me how keeping Adriana Smith alive as an incubator for a baby who definitely would've died has anything to do with any god. This is 100% science, which is currently being attacked by the very religious zealots who took away Adriana's family's agency. Make it make sense.

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Not sure if he's still alive, but my 10th grade government teacher would be absolutely eviscerating the Trumpers who like to spout that we're not a democracy. In fact, we are a liberal democratic republic. If they don't know what that means, they need to go back to 10th grade gov class. 😒

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Just had a horse I was riding trip, fall, and somersault onto me. My left leg bent bizarrely at the knee and ankle, but so far nothing is overtly broken. Could have torn things internally, but best case scenario for now. Dealing with a little Acute Stress Response and some pain/spasms. 1/

It's ok to have been tricked by a politician, or a media personality, or "news" outlets with agendas. We're all human, with busy lives and tons to juggle. Sometimes we get fooled. The next part is key: what are you going to do about it now that you know the reality? Don't let them fool you twice.
