What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

We had eradicated this disease.

And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

FDA Announces Canned Tuna Recall in 9 States Over Botulism Risk Tri-Union Seafoods initiated the recall after a distributor mistakenly shipped quarantined cans, which were first recalled last February.

12 months of MAHA:

Our last foodborne botulism outbreak hasn’t been resolved yet & now one of the only affordable sources of lean protein is a botulism risk, too; measles cases are exploding, even tuberculosis is on the rise. And they’re still trying to deregulate more.

Maybe expertise did matter…

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Newsom says whatever he thinks the guy in front of him wants to hear and yes that also means all those funny meme social media posts y'all love.

Almost fifty years since Renee Richards fought for the right to play. The New York Times covered the controversy closely, running this collection of responses from their readers that sounds like it could be run today

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Please read this whole thread

One fascinating and yet expected thing is that none of the big foreign accounts pretending to be American are left of center, or even anti-Trump. Not a single one. Says something about the economics and geopolitics of political grifting

Your new motto should be: if it’s fine for disabled people, it’s fine for me.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.

on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

(cont’d) Maybe there are better ways to talk about this! But baseline, most people do not know it is even something they can still get, nor how potentially destructive to their personal and community health it is. Ask any disabled person, death is not the only barometer for harm.

(contd) that it has potential long term health consequences, is not even something on their radar, let alone something they can accept. It’s a collective trauma most everyone would like to move on from. Saying “at the height of COVID” does imply it still exists. (cont’d)

The problem is, the average person - not medically or science literate - literally thought COVID died when mask mandates were lifted, years ago. For most folks, “during COVID” means the VIRUS is past tense. Acknowledging you can still get it, (cont’d)

Ashanty is my student, and this is her first-ever professional assignment! She’s a ridiculously smart thinker and writer — read her on AI in school instead of all the adults pontificating. 🤗

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

New York Post @nypost : Who is Rama Duwaji? Wife of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani he met on Hinge trib.al/vFTHqCO Response to New York Post by Lee (Greater) reactionary blue tick: If your wife doesn't take your last name you shouldn't even be allowed to own property let alone run for office Imao

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

I have spoken to rooms full of nondisabled people and heard this ripple of tense laughter. I have told my own story of flipping a car on black ice and people straight up told me they would just drive more carefully.

They can’t handle the idea that you can’t wellness and responsibility your way out.

Life is random and we are fragile and the sooner nondisabled people make peace with that, the better.

Of course, now we’re five years deep in a pandemic that nondisabled people refuse to try to mitigate because they can’t handle the idea, so I don’t have a ton of hope.

Stifle the eugenicist inside your head. It’s killing people. Maybe even you.

Sourcing the dispute to Padilla even when the video proves Padilla is right is an explicit endorsement of the White House's credibility by a news organization

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

Cis people have no idea just how stupid gender is about to get

I wish this were only the “RFK” version.

But this narrative is deeply embedded into mainstream medicine and psychiatry.

It’s also a core tenant of both neoliberal (meritocratic health, individual responsibility) and social democratic (bureaucratic biopolitics, psychologisation of health) politics.
