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?

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.

Absolutely sick and tired of the prestige bias and nepotism in philosophy hiring. People who didn't do their degree at GRLpGpAG, and who aren't literally NAMED "GRLpGpAG," should still be able to compete for the position of Mr. at GRLpGpAG!!!!

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*

I caught Mitch McConnell earlier today and tried to ask him about the CDC promoting the lie that vaccines cause autism.
He voted against RFK Jr.'s confirmation.
But as is always the case, McConnell, a polio survivor, refused to answer questions.
