Very proud of my team! Imagine having insulin dependent diabetes and if you're lucky, your best option is to go to a clinic twice a day every day for an injection. This is the best case scenario in humanitarian contexts, but we are working hard to change that.

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

Claire Magone talks to us from outside Nasser hospital, in the south of Gaza, which, like other health facilities in the Strip, is entirely overwhelmed by the medical needs of people who are facing a daily onslaught of violence.

Cool about GLP1s, but I'm more excited about the addition of rapid acting analogue insulin! This is actually a big deal! In LMICs, MOHs rely on the EML when deciding what to cover. Including rapid acting insulins to the list opens the door a little bit wider to better prices and more access.

Imagine if all this actually results in corporations paying their fair share into the government? Corporate Dems would never. (Don't worry, I know where that money will really go)

We need more and more frequent buses in Eastern Queens! We don't have any subway lines. I've barely been to other parts of the borough I grew up in because of how hard it is to get around it efficiently.

Probably doesn't help that they've defunded the NPS.

Columbia announces it will adopt IHRA definition of antisemitism, "zero tolerance" approach to discrimination/harassment policy, partner with the ADL. This is very similar to the terms of Barnard's settlement in Students Against Antisemitism v. Columbia; possible we will see another settlement

In dangerously high temperatures (and you don't know what that may be for someone) maybe we do a little less policing of how people stay cool. Your aesthetic preferences really don't matter to me here.

While I don't deny an east coast election bias, I think a lot of this latest disproportionate coverage was driven by the opportunity to be both Islamaphobic and anti-social safety programs. They can't resist!

First Denmark, now the city of Lyon is switching from Microsoft to open source software. I can only hope others, including my institution, are wise enough to make this move. MS products are terrible, and potentially a danger. www.theregister.com/2025/06/26/l...

Sen. Lee's bill to sell off public lands continues to hit roadblocks of his own making. The Senate Parliamentarian has once again axed the language on rules grounds. Sen. Lee continues to make edits, trying to set precedent for selling off public lands in Congress. HELP US KEEP THE PRESSURE ON.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Leftist Democrats in the state remember what happened to India Walton who fairly won the Democrat primary in Buffalo and then lost in the general with the state Democrat party ran their guy anyway, who lost the primary. You can't tell us Democrats believe in fair elections either.

The problem is that Mamdani's campaign seemed very authentic to Mamdani himself, meanwhile the Dems love nothing more than the consultant class, a group of people who prefer to water down authenticity (see Tim Walz)

This is an incredible breakthrough. Type 1 diabetes is such a hard thing to live with. In Sub Saharan Africa the life expectancy of a 10 year old child diagnosed with T1D is just 13 years old because they can't afford the absolute basics in care, how can we build equity into these kinds of advances?

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation. Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Jessica Ramos’ deranged endorsement of Cuomo is great news for everyone who was interested in ranking Michael Blake but didn’t know who to bump from their top 5.

The people on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla which is meant to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza are saying there is a drone hovering over their ship, which they take as a threat given what happened last time. This is happening right now.

Leave the outer boroughs out of this.

Scoop: CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music. Story: www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

Menomonee Falls, rated among the top ten safest communities in Wisconsin, is planning on reallocating $300,000 from its library to its police department. Because Menomonee Falls is just that rampant with crime, right? Who needs a library?

A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S. The office is one of several left without an overnight forecaster as a result of cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), condemned the early morning attack on its hospital in Old Fangak, Jonglei State, in the northeast of the country. MSF said helicopter gunships dropped a bomb on their pharmacy and fired on the town for 30 minutes.

Old Fangak is an incredibly difficult place to live. It is a marshy wetland, its inhabitants fled there during earlier conflicts for safety precisely bc it is so hard to live there. During the rainy season it is completely inaccessible. To be bombed on top of such precarity...

Being a part of this storied program is one of the greatest privileges of my life. The legacy of EIS officers is massive in ways most people will never know, because that's the point. We do our work on behalf of the public's health in the background. Losing this program will be so destructive.

#USA: “Every day that passes is an emergency for millions of people for whom PEPFAR is a lifeline.” 3 weeks after the US government froze PEPFAR funding, uncertainty remains over whether this lifeline for millions of people living with HIV has been cut. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/uncertainty-...

Something I think people don't understand about why measles is so scary is that it does a full reset on your immune system. All that immunity you've worked hard for with vaccines or surviving infections is just gone, and it's a couple years until your immune system memory comes back online.

Good morning! Today’s PSA - there’s a ton of flu out there. How’s a great time to: ✅ Update your COVID/flu vaccine for 2024-2025 (there’s still time to benefit!) ✅ mask in crowded indoor spaces & stock up on n95/KN95/KF94 ✅ stock up on your favorite soups ✅ identify your telehealth resources

Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

Timothy Snyder's first lesson in "On Tyranny" is don't obey in advance, and we have seen far too many people fail that lesson over the last few weeks. Here is a beautiful example of what to do instead.

People were being told to pack up and leave whole lives with absolutely no notice, pulling children out of school, no time to find places to live back in the USA, medical care disrupted, no income to depend on, the massive expense to complete an overseas move. What kind of efficiency is this?

#Gaza: We are devastated to report the death of Bilal Okal, our colleague killed by Israeli forces in Jabalia, North Gaza, along with 10 of his family members. Bilal joined MSF in 2017. He was 37 years old.

This went out to all federal employees. I've heard from friends at HHS and USAID. As a former public sector employee under Trump 1.0, I never received an email this inflammatory or political in the workplace.

This one hurts. It's rare to have an org and movement leader with her character. A kind person to those who worked for her. A fierce advocate for bodily autonomy. In a better world, she wouldn't be considered exceptional for being a good, decent person. In the world we have, she really was special.

Private equity strikes again

I mean, we really have to stop saying "famine" when we mean the intentional starvation of a population. They are different things which require different responses.

For #GivingTuesday, I hope you'll consider supporting MSF/Doctors Without Borders. Our medical teams from 100+ nationalities, are responding to emergencies in more than 70 countries donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/secure/givin...

Patel Brothers has their own brand for just about everything called Swad, and they absolutely have a knock off of this salt, except instead of the white girl, it's Gandhi on the salt march 🫠

It was several minutes into this segment before it became clear that this college is that Bari Weiss-associated reaction to accountability.

One of my favorite classes in college was about the incredible scientific discoveries during the Middle Ages!

NYC is on fire because Eric Adams took a hatchet to the Parks Department budget, firing 51 forestry specialists who remove the dead trees and invasive species most likely to ignite during dry periods.
