On the need for US healthcare reform, @josephharrisbu.bsky.social tells @newsweek.com, "Many Americans who are fortunate enough to have insurance aren’t adequately covered by what they have & end up facing big bills & denials of coverage by insurance companies." www.newsweek.com/record-numbe...

Well, it certainly is a Crapo bill

Such wonderfully imaginative and fun work. We have lost a giant. Legendary architect Frank Gehry has died at 96 - Architectural Digest

This did not have to happen “The report noted that the forecast comes as global development assistance for health fell significantly this year, to 26.9 percent, and below 2024 levels.” www.newsweek.com/child-deaths...

The Kansas sky is a vibrant sight to behold tonight. The beauty left me calmed in a way I can’t fully describe.

More plainly visible and dynamic than I have seen before

@bsky.app last week my DMs were cut off. Moderation said I could not be trusted. Hours later, you said it was a mistake. Then you cut off them off again—but said it was my fault, tho wouldn't explain (before turning them back on.) Maybe @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's ban is a mistake, too?

Looking for reading recs on the sociology/political economy of college football. (Went to the Alabama/LSU game this weekend; marveling at how much the university feels like a professional football team with academics attached. The stadium & tailgate setup is bigger/better than a lot of NFL teams)

This kind of admission makes me wonder how calculations about Trump's value to the GOP may change radically soon. Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) said his party will “get killed” in the 2026 midterms if it does not address rising health care costs. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Protesters in 'Handmaid's Tale' red cloaks rally against fascism in US. Demonstrators dressed as characters from the dystopian novel and TV series about a totalitarian society, "The Handmaid's Tale," march through Washington DC, to protest what they describe as the country's drift toward fascism

Tragedy that no one is talking about

The right to health has spread worldwide, and so has neoliberalism. Colombian governments and civil society struggle with this tension; health workers and vulnerable patients carry the burden. More here, open access @jeppjournal.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.....

This is infuriating and insane. Fascism truly sucks.

I’m old enough to remember Fox and Republicans losing their minds about the threat of Ebola… in fact old enough to have written about their totally unserious response, which prefigures Trump’s COVID response, or MAHA

This is beyond bad. All of our disease defenses are down now. We are sitting ducks. This is #RussellVought #DonaldTrump. They are endangering American lives with their insane crusade. These men are hazardous to your health and dangerous to the republic.

Yet another unforced error by this administration

Heartbreaking to learn this is a thing

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

I missed this earlier this week, but the Directors of NIAID, NICHD, NIMHD, & NINR were all fired. The NIAID Director, Mazzaro, was likely fired in retaliation for speaking out against the anti-vaccine moves made by the administration.

"The US is one of the most dangerous developed countries for giving birth" In Mississippi nearly 10 babies die for every 1,000 live births. For Black babies, it was even higher at 15.2. All of this will get worse with the cuts to Medicaid. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

“[Vaccine hesitancy] is entirely logical in a culture that insists that health is the result of hard work and informed consumer decisions and too often sees illness as a personal failure.” Great piece by sociologist @jenniferreich.bsky.social.

Public health people have to get themselves organized to fight back, otherwise we're toast. If we don't, the eugenic madness coming from Trump, RFK Jr., Oz, etc is going to kill lots of people. Here I share some thoughts about how we can start to organize: www.infectiousdose.com/post/from-ev...

I wanted to remind everyone about the "Save AIDS Research" livestream that will go live on YouTube this Tuesday (9/16) at 11:00am EDT. We have an amazing program of 70+ speakers who will be sharing their latest research. Get all the details at www.saveaidsresearch.org.

Beautiful, thoughtful piece by @madhupai.bsky.social . Take a minute and read it. You’ll be glad you did.

They could have done something like this in the Trump immunity case and given a chance for the special counsel to take Trump's federal election subversion charges to trial. Expediting cases is a choice

It's wild how politely asking grown ass adults to wear masks and stop coughing on produce was the second coming of Stalin. But military takeovers of cities based on who they elected is totally cool patriot freedom USA.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
