People are more likely to support partisan violence if they think the other party does too | Weekly roundup for September 14, 2025
Also this week: Trump ties Biden low on inflation/the economy; Mamdani up big in New York City; independent redistricting is an 80-20 issue. + more!

Proud to be a Pediatrician(retired), member of AAP, & to have worked closely for/with Public Health during the COVID pandemic. People want to forget how frightening those early days were, how grateful people were for the vaccine, how devastating the illness was for many families. #StandUpforScience
(1/3) Pediatric health care and strong public health agencies are two planks in the foundation of children’s health and wellbeing. CDC has long been a leading resource for research and evidence-backed recommendations on how to keep children healthy.

I’m trying to hold on to hope of a better world, but my daughter telling me she heard the gunfire from the mass school shooting in her MPLS neighborhood this morning almost undid me. Please don’t offer thoughts/prayers. We need to fight the fascists AND make gun sellers liable for this. #pedsky

I take public transit multiple times a week in SF. It is not dirty or scary. It’s clean and efficient and the app works great. Do I sometimes see folks who are struggling? Yes I do. Am I in a minority racial/ethnic group on the bus or train? Usually, and that’s ok. #SFmuni
Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

RFK Jr. promised "radical transparency" as Secretary of HHS. Apparently, he didn't mean it.

Remember those explainers of exponential growth of highly contagious COVID in unvaccinated populations? That prompted the shutdown? Measles is much more contagious.
The US has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year. It’s only the second time the US has hit this dangerous milestone in the past 30 years and it’s only May. This is the Make America Sick Again agenda.

National Service (think military, AmeriCorps, etc) is a force multiplier, a path to adulthood (age 25 for brain development), and a societal equalizer taking young people out of their home environment to see other viewpoints/life experiences. #americorps #service #learning #rebuild #redwingsnowstorm

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10%
Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR.
For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made.
I think it’s worth it.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

What we’re done is create a massive information infrastructure which privileges conspiracy theories, demagoguery, bigotry, lies, and hysteria - much larger than the traditional news infrastructure. It’s the main information source for many.
And then new political movements evolved to exploit it.
