Still not a US citizen so limited in the kids of risks I can take bc self preservation or whatever. People with kids/dependents naturally take fewer risks. Leaves us with generational wealth type young doctors who need to be doing a lot more organizing.

Honestly feeling quite a bit of distress re the undoing of public health etc being facilitated by doctors, while many of our professional societies are, it seems, just doing press releases.

Have you ever had someone you love dearly die from the very failures you spend your waking hours trying to address in our healthcare system?

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

How the FBI Became the Face of Deprofessionalization What research tells us about national security under authoritarianism

New from me:
Kash Patel is engaged in purges, removal of real accountability, and impunity for loyalists at the FBI.
Researchers told me that these are the exact patterns that create abusive national security organizations under authoritarianism. ๐Ÿงต

Opinion | Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do Murderous attacks on Christians and Muslims alike are a real problem in Nigeria. Cutting humanitarian assistance there is even more lethal.

โ€œIf Trump cares about Christians or anyone else in Nigeria, all he needs to do is restore aid and let babies live,โ€ our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

Buprenorphine is safer than most if not any opioid we prescribe but people still act like dosing it is some esoteric practice. Thereโ€™s no shortage of resources we can use to figure how to dose a medication for the first time. We should use them when prescribing a new medication.

Asking for the police to be abolished under whatever timeline is not an excess when this is how they act. Fucking insane.

These are fascists. They should be arrested and prosecuted for assault. Nothing about this is legal. Nothing about this is defensible.

Standing by Our Colleagues in Gaza โ€” A Plea to the U.S. Medical Community | NEJM In the face of Israelโ€™s ongoing assault on Gazaโ€™s health system and the catastrophic famine caused by the devastation, U.S. physicians have an ethical obligation to respond and support immediate ch...

My friend Naftali Kaminski is an Israeli physician, a professor at Yale, and the child of Holocaust survivors. For me he is a model of absorbing his parents' stories intensely, looking the horror of the 20th century in the eyes, and drawing the lesson of radical empathy for the suffering of others.

He uses this framing a lot. His boss clearly loves it. It also works for him because, in his own way, he is the minoritized Other in that little power cabal โ€” he isnโ€™t really one of them. He does this to show *his* gratitude which I suspect they demand frequently.

But also such a smarmy so and so.

An important part of racial segregation in public accommodations (that economists and economic historians regularly miss) is that it was NOT about racial animus. Itโ€™s about dehumanization and debasement. Itโ€™s using the public sphere to tell people that they are is not fit to walk the Earth.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
