The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done! COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions. Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine. How did that happen?🧵 sciencebasedmedicine.org/everyone-els...

This is the way. Thank you @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

i have personally despised bari weiss for a long time, her book was incoherent garbage, and to see her rewarded with the plum of the profession while the smartest people i know are scraping for dollars is gross as hell

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

How did Bari Weiss go from an op ed writer to head of CBS News? Is this all about being besties with tech billionaires and pandering to their causes?

Good. This is the way.

This is a fucking tragedy www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

In Canada, top 1% of wealth holders hold 24% of total wealth. Meanwhile, PM Carney has an ‘austerity budget’, which will impact the disadvantaged. Patriotic Millionaires Canada, which I am a board member of, estimated that a 3% tax on wealth over $100-million could raise $25-billion annually.

compromise with capitulation. If he was sincere, he would pose the same question of what is the right willing to surrender (2nd Amendment?) to make our country safer. He is pseudo intellectual at best, and lazy as well as insincere at worst.

I'm curious which of @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social 's bodily rights and dignities he's been willing to sacrifice on the altar of appeasement. Oh, none? How interesting.

What right will you give up?

Democratic leaders deciding not to embrace Mamdani after he won NYC's primary, or even to oppose him to some degree, really stands out considering how Dems' response to 2024 is fretting that they're losing ground with young voters and working class voters, and not attracting enough public attention.

Long term also means not losing the people already in your tent. If you can't maintain a line on party-defining values, you'll bleed out your base and breed apathy. More and more people who would have been Democrats just won't vote at all.

He is willing to give up women’s rights. Not his own. That’s the point.

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

Medicare, as of today, will no longer cover telehealth visits. I can’t imagine a bigger slap in the face to our patients.

Folks, I'm not saying the guy claiming to have proof of Mike Johnson's Grinder account is a grifter, and I'm not saying he's not. I have no idea. I don't know him. He could absolutely be telling the truth. But please don't give him money for "legal defense" until he actually needs it. Free advice.

You are free to disagree with me. But if you do, you need to name a right that you are willing to give up, otherwise, I’m not interested in a discussion.

Name a human right you are willing to give up. Read the piece. A forced birth democrat isn’t going to vote to protect abortion nor overcome lies about immigration or racism.

👏👏👏👏👏👏 It really is just so curious that male political consultants aren’t out there suggesting that men give up any of THEIR OWN bodily autonomy to get democrats elected. Why do you think that is? 🤔

Dear Ezra Klein, bodily autonomy is not a bargaining chip. What rights are you willing to give up? Let’s see you walk the talk. The burger is on me. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

Junk science and fascism. Dr.Gunter: “Dr, Timothy Snyder, a noted expert on fascism, offers the best framing–fascism, he writes, is ‘the triumph of will over reason.’ This strips away right-wing and left-wing ideologies, and just leaves us with the perversion of truth in the quest for domination.”

“Mifepristone is very safe. It’s safer than Viagra (remember the MEN!). What’s happening now isn’t about science—it’s about controlling women’s bodies and the narrative, so the more shitty data and putrid hot takes introduced as science, the better.” #ReproSky 🧪 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

This was my experience arguing with Ezra 20 years ago. He wrote about Hurricane Katrina, but was way more interested in playing geo-political gamemaster than addressing the concrete problems facing New Orleans. Once it gets real, he's out.

Take the threats about banning or restricting mifepristone seriously. It’s all based on junk science. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Today is International #SafeAbortion Day. Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls. As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.

I was honored to give the keynote speech at the Democracy in Saudi Arabia Summit. The Saudi Crown Prince is trying to whitewash his regime’s tyranny by weaponizing pop culture against his citizens. We must not launder MBS’ regime and that includes entertainers. My Full Remarks: bit.ly/4gRoqrK

Why is my flight delayed? Canada customs computers went down at Pearson, so they could not deplane the incoming international flight. About an hour to get back online.

If you thought that in Canada, fully credentialed physicians wouldn’t be spreading disinformation like this on their social media, you’d be wrong. To quote Dr. Hart “that’s insanely irresponsible.”

Klein has one of the largest platforms in the country, if not the world. At a minimum, not knowing how to use that platform to achieve his supposedly liberal goals is profoundly lacking in imagination. At worst, is a profound moral failure.

I guess pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but the same people who voted for DOGE and emptying the swamp and kicking out the fat cat elites, etc. are perfectly fine with a real estate developer using taxpayer money to slap gold on everything

“That leaves us with a massive asymmetry, where Charlie Kirks work against rule of law democracy, Ezra Kleins pretend that they don’t, and together they work to convince everyone that all this is fine, just normal disagreement, so the people taking attacks on democracy seriously are the problem.”

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Really getting to the bottom of the barrel on “Epstein Distractions” I guess

My biggest concern about TikTok being sold to Trump-aligned American investors is that, at this point, there is far more cause for alarm from domestic surveillance than from foreign adversaries. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Yay! My fellow Canadian, Sarah McLachlan, is one of @jimmykimmel.com 's guests tonight, when @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social returns! (The world awaits an inevitable, predictable, hateful post by FOTUS on Truth Social🙄)
