So hey, here's a thing I don't think a lot of folks know: That whole "Patient Zero" thing? The French-Canadian airhost who supposedly spread HIV all over America? That's not real. That's not what happened or how it happened.

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

He voted in both 2020 and 2022.

Ah fuck. Everyone who told me Chevron being overturned wouldn’t matter can kindly have a seat now. I don’t really consider myself an expert in much but considering I’ve been working in health regs for the past almost 8 years, I knew this was 100% coming. I just didn’t think it would be so fast 😭

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.

"The root problem appears to be that we can't get the people who want problems to give us permission to fix the problems, and we can't get the people who claim to want to fix the problems to stop asking those people for permission." --A.R. Moxon ( @juliusgoat.bsky.social )

One of the things that sucks about actually being able to “do your own research” is how I’m constantly being shown the ways that my patients, people I care about, or in this case all American children, are suffering horribly from easily preventable problems that I am still unable to solve in any way

When little kids don’t have stable housing, it can affect their health laterwww.npr.org Researchers following a group of American children for decades found that even short periods of housing instability increased the chances of poor mental and physical health years later.

apropos of uhhhhhhh everything, reposting this again

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Everybody freaking out about extrajudicial killings is going to lose it when they find out about the existence of cops.

This isn’t “hypocrisy,” he was lying about what he believes so they would confirm him

Remember, cities and states can now criminalize being homeless. Some already have.

53% of children followed from birth through age 15 experienced some form of (mostly temporary) housing insecurity. All children who experienced any level of - even temporary - housing insecurity had worse physical & mental health outcomes, with more housing instability correlating to worse health.

if you took every billionaire on earth and stacked them on top of each other starting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, that would be great

“Sustained a gunshot wound” is a weird way to say “accidentally shot himself while alone in the precinct parking lot” but if the media reported the truth it probably wouldn’t inspire much confidence in using so much of our tax dollars to keep these people heavily armed

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

And remember, the Christian Right only took up abortion as a topic after they lost school segregation for good when the IRS went after Bob Jones’ U status, & needed a new issue to rally the troops. 1/x all our issues are intertwined. 🧵

Not making any threats here, just thinking out loud as a historian — do they people brazenly pushing for impunity for the wealthy elites not know what traditionally comes next?

the combination of Ohio, Chevron, and Jarkesy is to tell the extraordinarily rich “there’s no one who can hold you accountable for anything if you can afford a lawsuit”

This will always be funny to me

They put this pic on Tucker Carlson lol

So close! Every white powder is actually fentanyl

Is that powdered sugar or fentanyl on top? Let's ask these cops!

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.
