I’m a Primary Care Doctor. My Patients Are Scared to Show Up Due to ICE.
How am I supposed to adequately care for patients who are being constantly terrorized by immigration police?

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

best way to protect National Guardspeople is not to deploy them for no reason

Another unqualified HCQ and ivermectin pusher, a supporter of the “Tylenol causes autism” conspiracy, and, of course, an anti-vaxxer. Perfect resume to become an officer in RFK Jr.’s HHS.

HHS responds -- again -- to questions about changing vaccine standards with two words.
But as I wrote in @milbankfund.bsky.social a few weeks ago, asserting "gold standard" science is not a meaningful response.
Nor does it reflect integrity in policymaking.

I hope someone better equipped than me responds to Susan Neiman's awful essay on "wokeness" in the New York Review of Books in which she casually butchers postmodernism, postcolonialism, Agamben, the history of post-dictatorship Chile, and—worst of all—trivializes struggles for dignity and equality.

Seems like @govwesmoore.bsky.social is coming out at long last for subsidized exchange access for undocumented folks? I'm here for it!
Nobody should be denied basic health care because of an inability to pay.
At a time when the federal government is undermining public health and creating unnecessary confusion around vaccine policy, Maryland is investing, leading with science, and stepping up to make sure our people are protected.

the friction of digging and mixing what you apply is where the learning happens! not being able to get your hand held by someone who else any minute of the day is why you internalize! it is not fixable by the technology improving, if it was perfect someday this problem would actually be even *worse*
