Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

Ok wait, hear me out: An AI diagnosis bot that puts poverty in the differential diagnosis and suggests universal basic income as one step in the plan.

Sometimes I think children would run this world better than most of our so called leaders

Today, Hungarians are voting. These elections loom large the world over. Viktor Orbán is a central figure in the international far right and his loss would be blow to familiar figures like JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are his pupils. snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

When we realised COVID-19 was causing massive health problems, and was airborne, we should have immediately turned to improving air safety. And we did know this in 2020. Instead we chose lie and deny. And here we are, in a “absenteeism” crisis.

Abortion care is healthcare, goddamn it.

Ce n'est pas tout le monde qui aura le réflexe d'aller au palais de justice demander une copie des plumitifs de son futur partenaire. En plus, c'est inaccessible, faut passer par la sécurité, tant le Palais de justice (du Québec) que la Cour municipale (si on habite en ville)...

I am 19 years sober today. This is an important milestone for me, because I have now spent more of my adult life sober than a drinker. Alcoholism is a thief that robs you of life and light. If any of you are struggling with booze, please get some help. My DMs are always open.

Those of us in public health don't just have to become better storytellers, we need go out into our communities and co-create a better future for all of us. The story of public health in the 21st century should be one embedded in communities that need us most. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Journalist Alex Mayyasi argues Vancouver’s housing crisis wasn’t inevitable—it was engineered. Homeowners used zoning laws to protect property values, locking everyone else out. The Sen̓áḵw development is what happens when those rules don’t apply. https://ow.ly/LVwf50YFV2V

Toronto just doubled its free AC program to 1,000 units — expanded eligibility, delivery and installation included. A win for the coalition of CAPE ON doctors and tenancy, legal and environmental orgs, who pushed the city's leaders to recognize extreme heat is a health emergency. bit.ly/4tBxeqO

More than 500 organizations in B.C. are now certified living wage employers, guaranteeing over 22,000 workers and contracted staff wages that actually match the cost of living in their communities. That number, years in the making, is growing faster than ever. #bclab #TyeePresents #Sponsored

Feeling under the weather and taking meds to help you get through the day? Many medications can help relieve your symptoms, but this doesn’t mean you can’t still spread your illness to others! Continue to stay away from others as much as possible and wear masks if you have to go out.

The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.

The threat he issued alone warrants sanctions against the US until he is impeached and removed. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-t...

25th. For the love of human rights, common sense, justice, and hope for a safe and positive future, the 25th.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, any single member of Congress can introduce an impeachment resolution. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for the “good” members of Congress to do nothing.

You can condemn Trump without making the incorrect insinuation that evilness is associated with aging/mental illness.

War crimes are morally and legally wrong. But they also don’t win wars or get us beyond politics. Insofar as there is a logic to this it is to provoke the Iranians and then act shocked and go for a coup domestically. See my essay "The Next Coup Attempt" snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

This lie by omission is having devastating effects on public health. People are noticing that they are getting sicker… but without an explanation… that infections are causing this… they are blaming vaccines. So a sicker public that is now resistant to guidance.

Let’s make a thread. Post the antithesis of mutually assured destruction. Sending love and peace to all. We are better than this man, this war.

Dear my beloved American neighbours, your President (and by extension you and your nation) is threatening to openly commit a war crime. Two questions: 1) If he orders the nuking of Iran, who will comply? 2) Who will stop him?

Usually, I’m persuading people not to accuse the unwell of being bad. Especially kids.. But every now and again, there is an exceptionally manipulative, selfish, malignant, cowardly person… and that’s not being “unwell”.

Please do not confuse evil and illness. Just sayin’.

This is quite obviously a threat to use nuclear weapons. It is very important to recognise this.

Please say Airborne. Measles is airborne. It transmits via aerosols. Inexplicit messaging is a form of misinformation. It’s ‘misleading by omission’. #StopMisinformation #StopMeasles #MeaslesIsAirborne

The Dow-Jones futures are up because Trump is promising a cease-fire. Don't investors ever learn? If his lips are moving, he's lying.

The abject failure of US systems, institutions, laws, politicians, the constitution, and the populace to put a stop to this is absolutely unforgivable.
