"There are costs to performatively deploying members of the military—one of which is the risk of endangering them" From @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

APHA and other leading medical, health and patient advocacy groups issued a joint statement on the alarming changes made to the CDC autism website. #SpeakForHealth vist.ly/4fexk

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

During #COP30 it is important to remember that climate policy is health policy, and that climate action is needed to improve health. Some background information in a new commentary by me, @jonathanpatz.bsky.social, @howardfrumkin.bsky.social, and Vijay Limaye. theconversation.com/want-to-make...

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I’m a Primary Care Doctor. My Patients Are Scared to Show Up Due to ICE. truthout.org/articles/im-... (I wrote a thing in @truthout.org about what it's like to be a primary care doctor when ICE is attacking my patients. )

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

A beautiful story about a beautiful man in an occupied neighborhood in my occupied city. We are all worse off for this loss, and I am so grateful to local independent journalists for calling attention to it.

Climate-driven extreme weather has increased in frequency & ferocity in recent years. The impact on human health is growing. Jamaica’s recent hurricane shows the urgency of preparing www.apha.org/publications... #APHA2025

Burning fossil fuels & climate change harms human health in so many ways. This one is particularly heartbreaking in that wildfire fighters put their lives on the line for us and are paying such a dear price. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @cuclimatehealth.bsky.social

3 former Surgeon Generals issue a warning: "The CDC is more than just an agency. It is the cornerstone of public health... The recent turbulence at the CDC threatens to undermine this legacy, and we feel this is not just a bureaucratic or political issue. It’s truly a matter of life and death."

I'm delighted to share our recently published research study on the potential to better integrate health policy & climate policy in the US federal government--for the benefit of all Americans, now and in the future. @finejulia6.bsky.social @joshettinger.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Frankly, I have seen enough. Secretary Kennedy should be fired immediately. He's destroying the agency responsible for keeping diseases (like measles and Ebola) under control. This is deadly serious.

New statement: IDSA, APHA and partners call for RFK Jr. to resign: "Our country needs leadership that will promote open, honest dialogue — not disregard decades of lifesaving science, spread misinformation, reverse medical progress and decimate programs that keep us safe." bit.ly/3JOgDya

Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"

this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups

20 years ago, I sat in a motel room in Florida watching Hurricane Katrina devastate the city I had called home for the previous 2 years. The climate crisis met first with failures of civil engineering and then the incompetent federal response.

Just watched ICE pull a guy out a car at 16th and Park.

Hey is it good that FEMA is suspending employees that warned publicly that the agency isn't ready to manage disasters with the peak of hurricane season two weeks away

It is impossible to overstate how destructive and irresponsible RFK Jr has been as HHS Secretary. defector.com/rfk-jr-is-ma...

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

RFK is destroying America's public health institutions. He should be fired.

American Public Health Association: “Legislators and officials at all levels of government who are interested in protecting their constituents should demand Kennedy’s removal.” That’s what I call leadership 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 www.apha.org/news-and-med...

I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”

The knee-jerk US response to gun violence is to assign more guys with more guns as defense. The best evidence we have shows that doesn't work. Indeed it appears that schools with armed cops have more, fatal shootings than those without. Likely because disturbed young men seek out suicide by cop.

Please remember the victims of Hurricane Katrina on the 20th anniversary of its landfall this Friday, August 29. You can also speak up with Congress for more disaster relief, hazard mitigation, and action to cut climate pollution in their memory. www.npr.org/2025/08/27/n...

PATHETIC! Maryland has A+ potential to be a shining beacon to the nation and the world when it comes to accelerating the transition to affordable, healthy, renewable energy. Yet, our grades for this year were Cs and Ds. We must demand better from our legislators. @ccanactionfund.bsky.social

For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE

A friend of mine, whose kids have Latin America heritage, can't let them walk to school by themselves. Even if they are fine, their memories of growing up, as Americans in America, will include this loss of autonomy and freedom.
