Sunday post: People are more likely to support partisan violence if they think the other party does too

This gives us an incredibly powerful tool for reducing mass political violence: Sharing the real (very low) numbers on how many people actually support it

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

The TX campers deaths and injuries are senseless and tragic…and so are the school shootings that happen regularly. We will debate if the campers deaths was preventable, but we know that school shootings are preventable with gun sense laws. #thoughtsprayers

This makes me feel hope. A strong voice for children and families is what we need now.
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

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

E. coli outbreak sickened more than 80 people, but details didn’t surface
Food safety inspections are being scaled back and the public was not notified after an investigation into E. coli contamination.

Anyone who has watched an infant struggle to breathe and felt helpless (like me - rural pediatrician) is or should be enraged at this silencing and harm. #pedsky #redwingsnowstorm

I never imagined that funding science (with its huge return on investment and lives saved) would be questioned or terminated.

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.

It’s hard to keep up with all the damage to trusted #NIH #CDC.
I saw the benefits when #BackToSleep began in my own practice: fewer dead babies. Conflicting messages reach parents about sleep through marketing unsafe products and methods. #StandUp www.healthychildren.org/English/ages...

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

I’m seeing posts that AmeriCorps is being ended immediately. As a former AmeriCorps member who served in preschool, and later with Minneapolis Public Health, I am so very sad…and angry. #resist #SMIF #theKidsSentMe

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.

This visual loss is bone chilling to a retired frontline rural practice general pediatrician. I relied on CDC for reliable information to treat patients for conditions rarely seen. Data that we all paid for…

As a pediatrician, grandmother, and citizen:

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

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.
