I have expert, real life, nonpaywalled travel advice for women traveling solo. Ready? 1. Just go. Anywhere. 2. Go whenever you can. The world is vast, but your life is fleeting. 3. Don't pay forbes for advertising to you under the guise of "advice."

This term's silver lining is that your U.S. birth certificate is still just *barely* sufficient to prove you're a citizen. Worst. Timeline.

Ok, all the focus is on SCOTUS right now. And the Dems Project 2029 that they're releasing right when all the focus is on SCOTUS is about...kids on social media? READ. THE. ROOM.

The president gave world's richest man the keys to the federal government and with it and he used it to take food away from hungry children. www.thebulwark.com/p/yes-the-cu...

They're certainly big ones for whole swaths of people. If, for instance, you're arrested for a crime you didn't commit and can't get necessary medical care? Then it could, very easily, harm you & leave you w/o recourse. IOW, these cases impact ALL of us, even if we aren't the 1st line targets.

Why do we pay for stupid things like Gila Monster fasting? ...

Everyone should joyfully celebrate the end of an evil which the law purports to authorize. This is history that, shamefully, was not (and often STILL is not) taught as routine education.

Yet another example of what happens when price inelasticity collides with a market of desperate people w/o any options. For those people who think that the market will take care of this. Many Rx prices (even generics) do NOT reflect cost. Not even a little bit.

Yes, this is an old clip. But it's important perspective for the news that this washed up piece of leather in too-tight jeans is being given control of every child's right to special education by executive fiat.

Free Speech "champions" amirite

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back. (Published March)

The chyron writer understood the assignment.

"Baby Boomers control roughly 52% of U.S. household wealth while representing about 20% of the population...younger generations don’t just have less wealth—they carry the majority of the debt." This is simply unsustainable. fortune.com/2026/06/14/w...

The anti-choice movement has always been about control.

The disease could be eliminated Sadly, the US has the world’s most extreme anti-vaxx activist and conspiracy theorist leading the nation’s health system

This is both the reason administrative law was so vitally important and is the apex of SCOTUS's newly-minted "unitary executive" creed. The Founders of this country ABSOLUTELY would reject the unitary executive. INDEED, THEY DID BY DECLARING INDEPENDENCE FROM THE KING.

You know that the entire world is upside down when I am extolling the private health insurance industry's use of its power. But, I will take any ally when it comes to preventing suffering and death of innocent kids, and protecting public health more generally.

"When Kristin Welker asked Pres. Trump this weekend whether he would consider bringing American troops home from the Middle East, his answer was striking: 'It costs us very little to keep them there.' ” Very little, to whom? Certainly not our service members.

Simone Biles. Why does that name sound familiar? /Sarc

This is a critical conversation. Given our fatality-inducing heat and climate change, it will take more than density to make Phoenix "walkable" for 1/3 of the year+. It can be done, but it will take deliberate & thoughtful efforts.

Proud to sign! A very simple way to spread the story and let the Diabetes Ass'n know you support the doctors standing up to censorship & destruction of science & medicine, not the Ass'n.

🚨🚨🚨Attention Arizona voters 🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥

Happy pride! For those "can't change biology" types:

We need to make sure this editorial goes viral Misguided Brushes of a Pen Continue to Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States: We Can No Longer Afford Complacency and Fear. We Must All Act Now! diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

Shame on the American Diabetes Association- ejecting scientists from the meeting for distributing copies of an editorial critical of NIH funding cuts. Kudos to these scientists for standing up for science and resisting censorship 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Now to go check the IDweek code of conduct page…

50 years of eradication in less than 2. B/c it required int'l cooperation to maintain. See, infection, even parasitic, doesn't respect national boundaries or ideologies, so a threat to health anywhere is a threat to health everywhere. I guess we get to learn that the hard way now. Not cool.

#BREAKING: Over public dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants stay of district court injunction in Alabama redistricting cases, clearing the way for Alabama to use its 2023 map.

Finding chemo that works on KRAS is the holy grail, not just for pancreatic cancer, but many other cancers. This is truly a game changer.

Oncologists and researchers at the ASCO 2026 conference give a standing ovation after the experimental drug daraxonrasib nearly doubles survival in a metastatic pancreatic cancer trial! #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

Not only is this $300B of our money to reopen a shipping lane that was already wide open for free but the entire SNAP budget is $100B/year and I was told we couldn’t afford to feed American children fruits and vegetables

I'm on top of the world!

Reminder that this man (Russell Vought) has a child with a disease (cystic fibrosis) where research has more than doubled the life expectancy in their lifetime. He has personally received enormous benefit from the science he is trying to kill 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Non scientists are unable to competently review these grant proposals. This is all about interrupting the best possible science. And we will all suffer as a result.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

Giving VIP treatment based on wealth is immoral, often leads to poor care (both from excessive testing/treatment, and insufficient history taking). It also leaves you with a legal and PR nightmare when it turns out a bunch of mandated reporters were giving concierge service to a pedophile 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😳

NEWSFLASH: Most Drs really want to help patients. RFK Jr goes on and on about how Drs "need" to "deprescribe." This study is apparently an effort to do just that, conclusively show (what should be obvious) that antibiotics don't treat lower back pain.

“My son Marcus just turned 6. He has no idea that his mother had two brain surgeries before his first birthday or that a drug, created by research funded through federal dollars now at risk, saved my life before he took his first step.”

This is why due process is vital; indeed, it is the line b/w a free country & totalitarianism. Even if you have "nothing to hide." Maybe especially when you have "nothing to hide."

Meanwhile, the guys in this picture say they can't live on $174k/year.

Cool things still exist.

These are the people who compared masks to actual slavery.

TechBros: Why does Gen Z hate AI? Also TechBros: AI is replacing "lower value human capital"

Are you a snowflake? Are you triggered by trans or LGTBQ+ content? No? Then tell the FCC, we don't need "warnings" before content that includes our queer friends & family. Deadline is today!!!

Remember when these guys were absolutely APOPLECTIC. B/c they were asked to wear a face mask in public? Now they're keeping Americans from returning to the US....

The Capitol Crawl, the protest that marked the difference between public support for the ADA and apathy, was about visible discomfort. The discomfort of disabled people having to haul themselves out of wheelchairs and up burning hot steps for access, yes, but more specifically, viewers’.

Let's try it and see. Just for giggles.

Make no mistake, SCOTUS has enabled this. And it will make it more difficult--and much more expensive--to get the preventative care that scientists can prove you should have.

Where are my "activist judges!!!" people at?
