Yesterday a patient remarked off-hand when I walked in the room that they should get a mask too because of the weather. They intended it as a throwaway hyperbolic joke, but I was deadly serious in response: "Yes do it." We need more public health info out there on masking for poor air quality.

every 5 months you hear "Joe Rogan is turning on Trump" from people in the media who don't actually watch rogan and take the bait like it's susan collins casting a line when in reality this is literally what he says almost every single day about democrats including fucking yesterday

I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.
