I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

This never fails to fool all the dumb ones. It’s worked for centuries now.

It is easy to feel discouraged. But we want to thank the many public health professionals, like Dr. Deb Houry, who continue to fight. Sharing her powerful op-ed. And a huge thank to all the current and former CDC career staff who work tirelessly to protect all people. 💚 time.com/7338714/dr-d...

I've been sending chapters from my upcoming pop-sci book to expert fact-checkers and it's useful but also WAY more stressful than sharing work with the general public. It's like you go out to do karaoke with your friends and the original musician is in the front row telling you which notes are off.

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

I'll eventually write short, pithy signs. Until then, everyone gets history lessons.

The Republican Party has fully embraced fascism and destroyed American democracy. But some Democrats still say Latinx. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Latest #anatomicalembroidery project is done. Shoulder, focusing on brachial plexus (yellow) Not bad for 6 months into this hobby!

My son came home this weekend because he got fired from Walmart this week. He's worked over a year and never had an issue, but margins are even tighter now, so if a section can't be restocked by 1 person that person is fired.

I went to nursing school. My child had a surgery. The fight between "let me fix you" and "I'm letting you fix this for yourself" is fighting hard. (This is only a statement about me and how over-examined parent are that forces us to overprotect our kids. It's not a comment on any other individual.)

Just a little reminder for all those super-smart libertarians who like to snark "nothing is free" when I state that children have the right to a free and appropriate public education. At least the supporters of Hamas aren't bribing the president loudly and openly. Oh. Wait.

Made some great progress on my newest embroidery project. This is the shoulder, focusing on the brachial plexus. I've just outlined the muscles and started filling them in. #anatomicalembroidery

So he's a pinko?

Yup, because thanks to RFKJ, we totally trust the FDA.

I never want to tell someone what to do with their face, but occasionally I watch a man growing out facial hair and I just want to say "Don't."

We’ve got one foot into fascism and the other on a banana peel.

I develop clinical practice guidelines: medical societies map out the best evidence-based practice in a very specific topics It takes, at BEST, 18 months and $50k to develop one of these. With a huge lift from volunteers. It's a harder job right now than it was 5 years ago.

Welp, Stockholm Syndrome is about to get a weird rebranding

It never been about race or gender or love. It's about class and wealth. These are the looks of a woman who has never tied her hair back. Her hair has never gotten in the way of cleaning, childcare, plumbing, exercise, or sexy time. Someone had always taken care of either the hair or the duty.

Circa 2015...(that was actually a really good year)

I am looking forward to everything from doctoral dissertations on GOP makeup and drag to high school term papers on Separating the Wives from the Aunts in Handmaids Tale. Hell, if I get on a weird hyperfixation, I might write them (at my level, not either of those).

In case you couldn't figure out why Texas MAGAts have been gutting public education. Ever since Black people got public education, they started hating it.

Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

More and more data collectors are being shut down. They know how much they are going to hurt everyone and want to hide the proof.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

It’s true. My fam uses Public Square to know where NOT to shop. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Worried about picking up extra germs at the ER? 🦠That’s exactly what infection control helps avoid. In yet another reckless move, the Trump Administration just eliminated the CDC committee that sets hospital safety standards.

ELMO: I’m Elmo, and my pronouns are Elmo/Elmo/Elmo’s. OSCAR: And I’m a grouch. Because of my deep-seated hatred of white people.

Some extra information: While it may seem like a common childhood illness, measles can lead to serious and sometimes life-threatening complications, including pneumonia, brain swelling (encephalitis), deafness, blindness, and death.

He's such a "flood the zone" chaos agent, straight from the KGB playbook. I can't even keep up with the jokes. I laughed at 2 dolls, but now it's 5 pencils and I can't keep up. It doesn't matter. He's a criminal and a bigot, as are his cult members. We can't rest until they shut up and go away.

Last week, the NIH terminated its participation in Safe to Sleep, which has been credited with a 50 percent reduction in SIDS deaths since its inception in 1994 The government did not provide a reason. But it's worth noting that RFK Jr. has long promoted the false claim that vaccines cause SIDS.

I don't believe for a second that either Miller or Trump genuinely believe this. I DO believe that they have learned that repeating lies often and loudly enough will make their bigoted cult believe them.

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

I say the same thing about anyone claiming the man is the head of the house because Jesus was the head of the church. Die. Prove it.

No wonder MAGA hates schools so much. They're too fucking stupid to realize they are the Empire. Of course they didn't understand what 1984 meant.

The CRAZY thing nobody is talking about too is that nothing is ever gonna be cheap again. If corporations see that we’ll pay these elevated prices, they have no reason to not make those prices their baseline

My great uncle was lynched after coming home from WWI because he went to town & wanted a drink and they refused to serve him— a VET who just fought for this country After missing for hours my granddaddy found him hanging from a tree THATS why I protect my peace Every time I shine it’s for THEM

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

80 years ago on this day, Adolf Hitler shot himself. Never give up hope.

So, wait...the super-religious, 'we must bring everyone to Christ,' and 'Jesus wants me to be rich' folks are mocking people who have been drawn to the gospel teachings of Christ for the 2nd time in 100 days, who might be ready to become a person of faith...to praise...TFG? Yeah, this tracks.

Jesus fucking Christ, Hulu. A knock off tv show host pepped up on Prosperity Gospel is trying to speed run the Third Reich. He wanted to avoid a prison sentence. His followers thought Gillead had a nice anesthetic. 1/2

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!
