(1/2) Why therapists should provide culturally-responsive care for their clients ⬇️ Conversations about racism and oppression in therapy can feel uncomfortable - but they’re essential. Cultural identity can shape how clients experience trauma and how they engage in treatment.

A former CDC director on RFK Jr: "Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands...

Excellent thread on the NIH Director’s recent interview.

This is so breathtakingly cruel that my soul glitched. I’m never surprised by the depths of depravity, per se, but having to process it still exacts an emotional cost. www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...

7. So keep your head up the best that you can. Every scientist has succeeded via raw persistence and dog headedness. Discouragement is the intent. We are not at that point yet, and people are in the trenches every day fighting to keep it that way. 8/n

More good news: "Senators from both parties endorsed a $400 million *increase* to the budget of the NIH on Thursday, in an Appropriations Committee vote that represents a clear rebuke of President Trump’s plan to dramatically reduce the agency’s spending." www.statnews.com/2025/07/31/n...

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

This video!! 🔥🔥🔥 #NASA #SaveScience #FundScience

You may have missed this with all the other news going on. But if you are a veteran or care about our veterans, I hope you pay attention. 🧵👇🏻

“Government funding fuels the high-risk, high-reward research that leads to scientific breakthroughs. When that foundation is undermined, so are the hopes of the 1 in 3 people living with a brain disease or disorder — more than 114 million Americans.” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I finally made it through this @hubermanlab.com podcast with Jay Bhattacharya. It took a while because it’s 4(!!) hours long and I had to take multiple breaks for deep breathing. (Not gonna lie, I played it at 1.25 speed.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... Some reactions… 🧵 1/8

Devastating. 💔

NEW: EPA workers who signed onto the “Declaration of Dissent,” sent out Monday criticizing Administrator Lee Zeldin’s leadership, are facing retaliation. 144 have received letters placing them on administrative leave pending an investigation. www.importantcontext.news/p/epa-worker...

Months after the Pentagon rolled out a policy aimed at wooing back service members booted from the military over the COVID-19 vaccine, the Pentagon has confirmed that only 13 people—all Army Soldiers—have rejoined.

Are you paying attention?

QQ: Is there anything more fun than teaching about Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for people with chronic pain?? (Not really) Thanks @drstacyo1.bsky.social for inviting me to virtually teach your amazing OLLU PsyD students. 🤩 #FACT #ACT #ChronicPain #LivingWellWithPain

A psychiatrist involved with establishing the diagnostic criteria for autism explains why diagnoses have skyrocketed. It’s simple: they widened the criteria because so many cases had previously been missed. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/o...

This is a grim moment in U.S. history. Pseudoscience proponents, anti-science grifters, and people without expertise are making critical public health decisions for the most powerful and influential nation on the planet. The consequences of this farce will be devastating.

Primary care behavioral health (PCBH) is expanding, but new clinicians in this integrated care model are often charged with training supervisees— even though they’re still learning how to practice in PCBH. 😵‍💫 Read this piece on an effective solution by @drstacyo1.bsky.social 🔻🔻🔻

Some relief !

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

What Happens When You Trade Doomscrolling for Hopescrolling: Doomscrolling turns our phones into misery machines—and makes us see the world as a mean, scary place. Here's what happened when Jennifer Mercieca's students tried hopescrolling instead www.zocalopublicsquare.org/what-happens...

Bill Cassidy enters the “find out” phase of his poor decision.

Making America great by decimating science and the economy at the same time

Basically

“Those who serve should never be an afterthought”

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Judge Young is beyond livid — and fuming. He has another hearing that was supposed to begin minutes ago, and he's still going. "I've never seen a record where racial discrimination is so palpable. I've been on the bench for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this."

After ruling, with anger in his voice, Judge Young: "This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

THIS IS IT! THIS IS HUGE!! PLAINTIFF'S WIN!! Judge Young rules that the NIH grant terminations at issue in these cases are illegal and therefore vacated. BOOM!

⚖️ HUGE day today in the NIH terminations cases There's a trial (of sorts) at 10a ET in Boston today for arguments that NIH unlawfully terminated 100s of grants. It's a 3 hour hearing and I'll post periodic updates. Of note: this is the 1st lawsuit filed against the Trump Admin to go to trial.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Did we reach 3.5%?? Looks promising! #NoKings #NoFacism

🧵 In downtown Houston today, 15,000+ people showed up to march, chant, cheer and PROUDLY wave our AMERICAN flags, declaring that this nation’s crowning glory—her liberty and justice for all—will not and cannot ever rest on the head of any one person. We, the People say, “NO KINGS!”

Looking good, Houston! 🇺🇸 @texasaft.org #NoKings
