this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

they're all christians, were broken by the brutal way we socialize our children (especially boys), and never should have had access to guns. there, I found the common denominators for you.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Sometimes it's good to remind yourself what a terrible questionnaire the ACEs checklist is

This is important coverage and emphasizes the need for state level advocacy. Proud to work on these issues for @kypsychassoc.bsky.social with our advocacy partners!

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Fighting creates context for members of the public who don’t know who to root for. MAGA is to a great extent powered by stories derived from fighting. Democrats, because they aren’t primed to fight, have sacrificed the ability to tell stories of their own. www.offmessage.net/p/fighting-g...

There’s a kind of expected tit for tat between partisans over who does more crimes, whose worse etc. on most things obvs turpitude isn’t clearly partisan but having observed these things for years, theres an exception. Sex with minors, child porn, overwhelmingly Republicans.

Still seeing *wayyyyy* too many scientists trying to keep their heads down and stay out of the fray. 1. This isn’t going away! 2. Science *IS* political! 3. It’s not too late to step up and take action! 4. You’ll feel so much better if you take action w/ others! @standupforscience.bsky.social

I’m going to be very honest and clear. I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.

Excited to see the new issue of Personality Disorders: Theory, Research, and Treatment out, especially as it is entirely dedicated to antagonism and related disorders (e.g., psychopathy)! Must be a first for the journal. (1)

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” is estimated to kick millions of people off Medicaid, causing concern for health care providers in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, a region especially dependent on the federal program. www.lpm.org/news/2025-06...

Hey folks, I have a HUGE request from the Trevor Project and would appreciate help getting the word out. Trevor is now recruiting for it's 2025 National Youth Survey. They need people 13-24, LGBTQ+, in the United States to take it. This research is critical to LGBTQ+ rights. Take it here:

Something I love about Andor is the repeated emphasis that no one is insignificant in both the practical business of a revolution or in providing inspiration, i.e. the manifesto being written by a character who died in his first episode or "rebellions are built on hope" coming from a bit character

I woke up thinking about this poem today.

Really helpful piece here!

The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Again for people in the back — psychologists should be able to use more accurate and descriptive language than “dark” vs “light” when describing people’s personalities and psychopathology. #notthathard

People laundered moral corruption as political opinion to avoid feeling shame so now we have a ruling class driven by an ethic of psychopathy.

As @kypsychassoc.bsky.social and others have been saying, attacks on DEI have real consequences for healthcare! kentuckylantern.com/2025/05/07/l... Appreciate @kentuckylantern.com @sarahelizabethladd.bsky.social for covering! @cherilev.bsky.social does great work that we needs funding!
