Jillian Horton

From an essay by Jillian Horton, in Elbows Up!

"Somewhere, years ago, I read an interview with a historian. They said that fascism will often resurface in societies only when the last people who fought or lived under a previous fascist regime have died."

Loving @jillianhortonmd.bsky.social 's talk this morning. Remember the benefits of advocacy, not just the risks, because silence, too, has risks.

Forget just living longer. Eric Topol wants to help Americans live better, too. In "Super Agers," the writer and medical researcher maps a path to extending healthspan with AI, targeted drugs, and lifestyle changes.

One thing is aging. Another is aging without the major age-related diseases. Extending healthspan. www.freethink.com/biotech/eric...

Mixed feelings about the heat today: having dinner outside with insect repellant and worried about next summer

This is kind of response under the guise of "failure of professionalism" or "lack of collegiality" has deep roots in medicine. Not aligned with protecting the public.

Where are the people who were so outraged that Biden asked google to pull misinfo at Covid, now that Trump has made Apple pull the ice tracker app

As a reminder, a Hopkins doctor is to blame for this.

Repeat COVID-19 Infections Could Double Your Risk of Long COVID The latest study shows that getting repeat COVID-19 infections can come at a high health cost.

Multiple COVID-19 infections pose a risk for developing Long COVID. People who got infected twice with COVID-19 were twice as likely as those who got COVID-19 once to develop Long COVID symptoms that affect the major organs in the body.

It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Kash Patel’s DOJ Scrubbed Study Showing Right-Wing Violent Attacks Outpace All Other Extremism As MAGA world rages about left-wing violence, the government appears to have removed a research paper showing contrary evidence.

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.”

The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

The CDC shooting didn’t even really register in the news and the details are absolutely insane

Thanks so much, Oly. Always a privilege to work with that incredible team.

From a time when childhood vaccines were just a figment of imagination.

Row after row of baby headstones.

Sick Children Will Be Among the Victims of Trump’s Big Bill Cuts to federal health-care spending make it harder for doctors to make the oldest promise in medicine: that we will do no harm.

Shout out to RFK jr, Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham and everyone else who made it possible for my daughter’s camp to add “has your child recently been exposed to the measles?” to the camp drop off intake form.

Helpless? Prayers? That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating,and find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.

True story…👇

So, be grateful.

Not. Everyone. Is. So. Fortunate. 😎✨

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Opinion: Like Terry Fox had hope, my friend Vanessa Davis had gratitude until the very end It wasn’t a delusional spin on the devastation of what she faced – a cancer she knew would inevitably kill her. Her gratitude was a deliberate, intentional choice

Not how we wanted this story to end. But I'm grateful for space to tell you about this amazing woman & how much she reminded me of one of the greatest Canadians. Love you forever, Vanessa Davis.

Love love love this ❤️❤️❤️

You and your children will breathe more air pollution because of this action. People will have more asthma attacks. People will have more heart attacks. All while climate impacts accelerate.

Really glad to see this strong show of support for Dr. Stockton.
HCWs must be supported to advocate for safe and timely care for their patients, and for system improvement.
Canada needs whistleblower protections... too many good HCWs are being silenced and muzzled and intimidated

This is what finally did it for you, @RandPaul?
