we really need to talk about how AI is being used to provide cover for government policy based on deadly misinformation β€” and how every one of us who writes about AI in health, but doesn't center that fact, is lending credence to the enterprise.

Wait, am I reading that Herrell isn’t in the race for D2? That is quite something…I didn’t realize she took the hint(s).

NM leg showing up. Gratitude to the legislators, especially @therubiodispatch.bsky.social
who fight the cruel deportation machines on behalf of all of us every day.

Why a New Mexico Developer Quit Natural Gas

Every logic dictates a gas-free future…I’m glad we are pioneering it here.

Abolish ice is the minimum. Great turnout in Las Cruces today.

Can we just declare #emergencycaturday from now until further notice?

Same. And also: wow, I get so much junk that email would basically be useless if Gmail didn’t filter promotions? Feels like the enshittification spreads to new domains every day.

It’s pretty embarrassing if the only economic value you see in your county/district is jailing.

Let’s invest in the (many) solutions we know work.
And, as ever, when someone tells you some singular idea will fix a problem that came to be over years of failed policies, special interests and spurious refrains of repair, they are just telling on themselves.

Thank you for breaking this down/pointing out this reoccurring fallacy.

I suppose that β€œtesting the limits of his presidency” is one way to say β€œdoing blatantly unconstitutional and impeachable shit on a daily basis.”

It’s hard to overstate how damaging this will be to public health and medicine. About a quarter of medical residents are from other countries and America has a physician workforce shortage.
