As an experienced research scientist, I know what happens when science gets attacked. Cuts to the CDC and NIH mean delayed cancer treatments, fewer public health breakthroughs, and lost progress against diseases like HIV and measles. That's why I'm running to bring a science voice to Congress.

fuck with consumers all you want but anything that could threaten the justices' net worth is just a step too far

this is such a great video. he does the RFK endorsed carnivore diet for a single month and his bad cholesterol explodes. doing this diet is a heart attack nuke

I’m happy for New York, I really am, but I’m also envious as fuck. Imagine if L.A. had a mayor and city council who cared about L.A. the way Mamdani cares about his city.

Great news for the American people 💯🎯

This regime wants people dead.

How many American Nobel prizes are won by immigrants? How many won by direct children of immigrants? How many US Olympic medals won by immigrants or children of immigrants? How many of our essential workers are immigrants? How many of our front line workers are immigrants? Immigration is strength.

NYT tomorrow "Emmers pushes back against democrat namecalling"

In the teaser to his podcast, RFK Jr. says, “Many of us have come to the conclusion that government actually lies to us”. In this, he is correct, because he is part of the government, and he actually lies to us all the time. If you want you can read more of what I wrote about the pod here:

Scotus loves cancer

Public health leaders seem more concerned with avoiding panic than avoiding pandemics. No community spread is likely a function of hantavirus itself, not bc global pandemic prep, prevention + collabs got better 🫠 Comms can do more than “don’t panic” next time. NEW w/ @everythingisph.bsky.social

It’s truly astounding to see leftists who champion diversity and an end to genocide and corruption characterized as “hateful” and bigoted while the most openly hateful and bigoted politicians in decades are running the country

The Microsoft AI researcher's point is that it’s possible to build a neural network in "Age of Empires II" that works the same as the ones underlying Claude, ChatGPT, CoPilot, and all the rest. @mjgault.bsky.social explains in todays podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlWJ...

“We need moderates,” he says while the Trump administration rips bloody chunks out of America’s democracy and dismantles decades of progress.

I will always post about how evil Elon Musk is, both because it’s true and because it contributes ever so slightly to the vast psychic damage that is currently the only kind of accountability he can seemingly face. So yeah he’s entered the hall of fame of most evil people to ever live

Cognitive surrender. Critical thinking collapse. Anyone who wishes to stop thinking is a red flag.

Just checking in to see if all those men so concerned about "fairness in sports" have lobbied the NCAA to ensure that travel/facilities/accommodations for female athletes are equal to their male counterparts. 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗 (ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ⁿᵉᵛᵉʳ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᶠᵃᶦʳⁿᵉˢˢ)

The White House wants USPS to have  the power to decide who gets a mail ballot — and to refuse delivery to voters who don't make the list. That's not our job nor USPS's call to make. Anyone who relies on mail to cast a ballot stand to lose the most.Submit a comment now to protect vote-by-mail:

Mainstream media is compromised exhibit #385995812 Support your indie, non profit, and public journalism.

The theft of money from NSF to give to venture capital firms is a pretty accurate depiction of how this administration views science. In their view, science done for the betterment of human knowledge, health and the environment is not worthy of investment. It has to make a profit.

Mainstream media being late yet again. People been sounding the alarms for years. Car bloat kills. (Will, cars kill in general)

There are no good billionaires.

It’s hard to take a day off. You’re trying to relax but your brain is still burning up with deep thoughts like “people are not angry enough.”

If not genocidal, why it walk genocidal, talk genocidal?

Podcast Jay doesn’t hold a candle to Dr. Norton and that is just a fact. This man should not be speaking about health disparities, now or ever. He is an obedient figurehead for an administration that has done so much damage to disparities research that it will take decades to recover.

"because you can't prove it" Conspiracy theory brain in a nut shell. They don't need evidence. In fact, the lack of evidence is evidence.

But hey, at least we got a costly war and tariffs nobody wanted and he demolished half the White House and trashed the reflection pool!

It's the perfect metaphor. Fix something that isn't broken. Ignore experts and scientists. Spend tons of public money enriching Trump's friends. Reveal the fix as superior. Watch in the following days as it immediately becomes extremely clear how they made everything worse.

The entirety of conservative ideology seems to be "what if the people have nothing"

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

Sometimes it may feel like we aren't making progress in the fight against RFK Jr.'s destruction of US public health, so I wanted to share some of the successes that we can look to for motivation: 1. Stopped the illegitimate ACIP 2. Ended said ACIP's anti-vax recommendations

"Why do innocent people flee the police?" Idk, maybe the fact that they kill newborn babies and puppies might have something to do with it. Just saying.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.

AI is a fascist tool, and that has been obvious since day 1. That’s the utility of a tool that erases, minimizes, and smears everyone who isn’t a white guy. A tool that ultimately disadvantages everyone besides the white guys at the top.

Same vibes... "Educated elites bemoaning the return to power of Donald Trump would do well to ask how they contributed to this outcome."

This is what evil looka like. Abject ignorance.

If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

no big deal, just elon musk saying he would've killed journalists at @theverge.com if he was, in fact, a killer

Truly. The threat to public health is coming from inside the house.

I mean, this does seem pretty reflective. heavy handed really

The literally swampification of DC (reflecting pool) happening and there will still be people fully unaware of this because their media diet is fully cooked

How many of these pseudodocumentaries are we going to get, positioning right-wing contrarians as the heroes of the pandemic (despite advocating policies that left hundreds of thousands of Americans dead and disabled)?? Seriously, can we just get one that accurately retells the story?

"If we have no data about a problem, the problem doesn't exist." Public health dies by ignorance

There's a far better case for banning social media for people 65+ than for people 16-18
