Mars was the Roman god of war. That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.' Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices. That’s why we have Marshall’s.

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

Anyway, 72 percent of Americans support universal background checks and 76 percent support extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs). Maybe Congress should take those things up

T3f: What’s a nephrologist to do?? If we are powerless to prevent excess CV mortality and hospitalizations in patients on dialysis then the real answer likely lies in dialysis prevention & early initiation of the pillars of CKD treatment. #NephJC www.mdpi.com/1999-49...

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

#AASLD stands ready to work with legislators, the Administration, and public health partners to sustain and build on the progress of #hepatitisB vaccination. Protecting public health is a shared responsibility.

Vaccines are one of the greatest achievements in medicine: they help save millions of lives every year, prevent suffering, and protect our communities. Few tools in history have done more for human health.

As the leader in hepatology, #AASLD is committed to evidence-based policies that protect liver health. One of the most effective tools = #hepatitisB vaccination at birth.

Congratulations to the White River Junction VA Medical Center staff for receiving a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It's a sign of the lifesaving work they do. Vermonters appreciate having this excellent hospital taking care of our veterans.

Thou shalt not starve children.

Just to be clear - the MAGA freaks are celebrating sugary cola (39g/12oz!) as a “health” victory while they are bringing back asbestos, paraquat (one of the most toxic pesticides to exist), eliminating clean water and air protections, and more than 10 million Americans are losing healthcare coverage

Funny how “trimming the fat” means axing PBS, not the subsidy that helps billionaires write off their private jets.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Trump hasn't forgotten about abortion—even as ICE raids make headlines—his administration is gearing up to dust off a zombie law, the 1873 Comstock Act, to ban mailing abortion pills, medical supplies, contraception, pornography, and even dildos. My latest:

He wants Mexican Coke but won't admit it lmao

Tech bros don’t want to save the world. They want to own it, brand it, license it, and charge you a monthly fee to visit.

Huge news for people stupid enough to be worried about the canola oil in the “egg bites” on the menu at the place that sells drinks with 60 grams of sugar and 400 mg of caffeine

Watching The Little Mermaid as a kid: I’m Ariel! I’m 16 and I’m going to marry a handsome prince! Watching The Little Mermaid as an adult: I’m Ursula. Some under-qualified white man usurped my throne, took my trident, and now I practice witchcraft.
