Is it too much to ask that large outlets have a single fucking clue about the people they platform and their weirdo positions?

Jay Bhattacharya has not only never treated a COVID patient, he has never treated any patient himself. As a scientist, his biggest COVID “research” publication is not just methodologically (and ethically: www.buzzfeednews.com/article/step...) flawed, but his results were wrong by a 35-fold margin!
You may find yourself asking: But Walker, is there video of this? Surely, there couldn’t be video…

Why, yes. Yes, there is.

This is shameful. The man spent years working to undermine faith in public health, amplified by right-wing think tanks backed by big money to oppose anything big business doesn’t like.

His contribution to our discourse was a declaration that we should let people get mass infected for herd immunity.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the director of N.I.H., was called a “fringe epidemiologist” during the Covid era. On this episode of “Interesting Times,” he tells Ross Douthat that the elites broke the public’s trust, and now it’s up to outsiders to restore it.

“There’s a baby in the car,” Barry told the agents. “There’s a baby.”

ICE smashed their car window and left shards of glass all over the car seat holding a one month old infant.

Why? To grab an immigrant with no criminal record as part of operation “Catch of the Day”

You want to be a secret police but in this country you have no right to be secret about what you’re doing. And so we will continue to watch every step you take in our city, tens of thousands of us, because you have proven beyond all doubt that you cannot be trusted to operate unseen.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz.

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

Europeans probably are not aware that we had a few massive #NoKings protests last year. People are circulating petitions. Scientists write opinion pieces to reach public. Medical organizations are speaking out. But our elected representatives have to act. And that's why 2026 midterms are pivotal.

Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

“The entire operation is becoming slower and more resource-intensive. There is good reason to believe that more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch.”
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
