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." #StayAwake! #KeepFighting

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

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 @cape-acme.bsky.social

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.

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. time.com/7322188/covi...

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.

“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

From a time when childhood vaccines were just a figment of imagination. Row after row of baby headstones.

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. 😎✨

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

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. @terryfoxfoundation.bsky.social #breastcancer www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

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? themindshield.com/rand-paul-sa...

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Facts.

He says many pediatric covid hospitalizations are incidental. I discussed this 4 years ago, and there was a grain of truth to it then. But researchers learned to weed out those kids & many “incidental” hospitalizations were likely not incidental after all. sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-covid-19...

What is the price of cancer remission? Basically, the cost of a Nissan Versa every single month. Such a powerful read by @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social

Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, issued the following statement on World Press Freedom Day “In a sea of foreign media and disinformation, we need Canadian voices more than ever.” #DefendDemocracy #CdnPoli

The conservative wannabe-Trump opposition leaders in both Canada and Australia lost both their bids to become prime minister - but also their own seats! To quote ⁦‪Rick Wilson‬⁩: everything Trump touches dies.

And with @jillianhortonmd.bsky.social

Our Medical Establishment can’t even tell parents to get the MMR as measles sends kids to the hospital.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary refuses to directly say that parents should vaccine their kids against measles

This guys also said frontline doctors only wanted to control covid to keep themselves safe. Seems like calling other people cowards is all he does.

More and more, during the campaign, we have seen a true face of Poilievre when it comes to the media: he's on the side of the Rebel, True North, The Pleb Reporter, and good god, Jasmin Laine.

How it started How it’s going Tim Pool in the White House Press Briefing Room edition

Funny how nobody criticizes him for "not wearing a suit".🫠
