20yrs as a Family Physician working with the underserved. Healthcare is a right. I’ll always talk about ADHD, my multiple hobbies, or single-payer healthcare. Horses and books are my sanity. Proud🇵🇷

A fantastic read from @sarahjeong.bsky.social on what it's like to be gassed and the violence in the streets right now. On a meta level, I also love the framing; the title and card make it look like just another product buying guide, but it is very much not that.

Trump is a megalomaniacal, criminal madman, he is the singular force that is destroying the entire world order and the whole American system, and rather than acknowledging him as a crisis, our institutions are still, STILL determined to relentlessly normalize him

They want to classify people by race. There is no such thing as race
SB1788, by Sen. Dusty Deevers, would require law enforcement to annually conduct what I can really only describe as a racial audit of criminals in Oklahoma " to identify and correct misidentified races." #okleg

The NIH has lost its scientific integrity. So we left

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus.
Vaccination is the gold standard for protection.
However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.

I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.
No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.
I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

This storm system is a bombogenetic cyclone; its rapid strengthening will allow it to suck in lots of air, driving strong inward winds and making the clash of the air masses more dramatic.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.
