BIG OIL MAKING A WAR KILLING Exxon Mobil and Chevron are reaping the rewards of much higher energy prices. Koch Industries sells fertilizer so are making additional billions. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

UNMASKING MAHA, M.D. Approximately 2000 American children have died of covid-19 and about 20% of those who are sickened suffer long covid. But she doesn't like vaccines and masks. Please stay the f*ck away from cancer patients.

As a pre-med student, I worked the graveyard shift in a donut shop. Sometimes guys dropped in to harass or threaten customers and me. I'd call out "86, please" and our burly baker sent them out with a stare. No shots fired. Every waitress knows.

Oh, hell. The new Surgeon General nominee is a Trumpophant. (I'm deeply embarrassed that she's at my old workplace - Memorial Sloan-Kettering).

POISONING THE POOR In 2021, the EPA implemented mitigation measures, prohibiting most aerial spraying. Trump's EPA denied a link between paraquat and Parkinson's Disease. But evidence suggests otherwise. Low income people are the most exposed. (Link in comments) www.alternet.org/trump-epa-ma...

A dead patient is a cheap patient. Private "insurance" companies boost profits by denying or delaying medical claims, with roughly 15% to 20% of in-network claims initially denied.

Wait? What? You don't really believe in microbes, do you? arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

The alternative to health equity is letting some people suffer and die needlessly. If we aren’t training medical students to seek to prevent suffering and death in all patients then what is the point of medical education?

Chernobyl Is Forever. Any nuclear power plant is an invitation to nuclear terrorism. "Chernobyl has been relegated to history, even though the latency period for some cancers is estimated to be up to 60 years – so the worst could yet be to come." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

OK. My theory about what happened at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. They faked a shooting to spice up the mind-numbingly boring program which featured a mentalist who apparently wasn't mentalizing. 😊

YET ANOTHER REASON FOR CLEAN ENERGY April 26, 1986. A tragedy of enormous proportions - still a target of war. Strikes on any nuclear power plant can unleash radioactive hell on earth. Safe nuclear energy is an oxymoron.

Truly extraordinary that Jay Bhattacharya attacked MMWR as a journal needing to improve its rigor when he launched, along with fellow MAHA/MAGA activist Martin Kulldorff, a super-kooky vanity publishing “journal” to publish Great Barrington Declaration-approved authors & their misinformation!

Today, our #SCIMaP team released an impact analysis of the White House proposed FY 2027 NIH and NSF budgets. Bottom-line: if enacted, cuts to science and medical research would lead to $35B in economic losses and 150,000 lost jobs in communities all across the US. scienceimpacts.org 🧵

Hypocrisy much? RFK, Jr.: "All the major institutions of our society have been captured by the [pharma] industry." But MAHA got $1.5 million from Pharma last year, including: 👉 Olympia Pharmaceuticals 👉 LucyRx, a PBM 👉 United Biomedical 👉 Northwest Biotherapeutics www.politico.com/news/2026/04...
