Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

Honestly, when you get to interview folks like this, the interesting things to ask are less about what was going on behind the scenes than why they chose this work in the first place. "Why did you decide to take and stay in a job that had you lying to people every day? Let's unpack that."

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

From “there will always be a human in the loop” for the use of lethal force to “these life or death decisions will be filtered by a machine ahead of decisions made by the humans in the loop.” Also they pretend like we don’t see AI target selection in Gaza right now. That is AI warfare, right now.

“The group estimated that reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service… we would be witnessing the dismantling of a century-old system”

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Do you notice that every doctor who has been in Gaza comes back and describes it as an unimaginably horrific genocide, so vastly worse than even those of us following it realize?

It was a UN World Food Program warehouse that was preparing recently-admitted food aid for distribution. You’re going to make a correction and apologize for spreading propaganda that exonerates Israel from its deliberate starvation of Gaza, RIGHT? 🤔 🤔 🤔

Beneath all the propaganda, all the nice words about human rights and equality and international law, this is it. This is the material manifestation of Western values.

It’s a question of when not if another pandemic comes and #flu is still one of the - if not the - likeliest infection to cause it. Preparing for this eventuality now could save millions of lives (and billions of dollars) down the road. 🧪 #IDsky

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

Illnesses that were manageable before the war are turning deadly amid "catastrophic levels" of food insecurity in Gaza, and 19 months of genocide have now led to the spread of new diseases, reaching record numbers.

“What makes dysfunction so dangerous is that we might simply learn to live with it. But understanding hypernormalization gives us language – and permission – to recognize when systems are failing, and clarifies the risk of not taking action when we can.”

Covid killed more people in the US than all US battle and non-combat related deaths in all of the US wars put together. People want to forget, but we should be memorializing these losses as well.

From failing to publicize a major outbreak to scaling back safety alert specialists and rules, the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory and cost-cutting push risks unraveling a critical system that helps ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply, according to experts.

It is jarring how much liberals obsess over devising way to be nicer to and more accepting of their political opponents who despise them when the Republican strategy is to go online every six hours and call the majority of the country a vile pestilence that needs to be eradicated.
