Every match lately.

Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.

Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.

Even this is a massive understatement of the actual costs, since all of those things require advance planning, paperwork, and (in some cases) scheduling document retrievals (often only possible during work hours). The cost doesn't have to be high in dollars to be a prohibitive tax on voters.

Lee really thought this was a zinger.

(He being Mike Lee, in case that wasn’t clear)

👏

Dr. Bohon has a PhD. She isn’t some random influencer.

Short 🧵 that is worth reading.

I know Kevin knows this, but the explanation for this is clear: It's racism. Racism and xenophobia and misogyny.

A white native-born American, living in the parts of the country where white native-born men still hold disproportionate power, is the only fully "real" American in the eyes of many.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Monsters. Massive medical breakthroughs are being wasted because of junk science and conspiracy theories.

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Your camera doorbell will just turn on and record.

Nobody asked for that.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Sign me up for that america

He should’ve watched Bad Bunny.

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

Absolutely awesome.

What an artist. What a performance.

This halftime show is so good.

No need for that. We’re all on the same team here.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Great thread:

Easy: McLean wins NL Rookie of the Year.
Medium: Alvarez stays healthy and shows why he was rated so highly in the minors.
Hard: Mets starting pitching averages 6.1 innings per start

I don’t know what is and what is not satire.

I feel exactly the same way about all of the scientists who were RIF’d or had their funding denied.

The ripple effects are enormous and will undermine public health for decades to come.

It will take a beat for the general public to see it, but it’s coming.

Spring is coming!

Delightful finish from Jesus for that goal. #leears
