"I have lost everything...Yet I am grateful to have found my voice...I am not afraid of dying on this journey to justice." Meanwhile, in the "land of the free," dissent is stifled, a preventable virus runs amok, and a petty tyrant eyes a return to power. theguardian.com/global-develop…
How to damn with faint praise: "the federal government is much better prepared to respond to pandemic influenza than it was for covid-19." In other words, this time we know how to pretend we have a [wholly inadequate] plan [that we poisoned the well for]. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
"CMS estimated the rules will ultimately cost $6 billion annually, but...additional wages would have to come out of owners' pockets or existing facility budgets." Good luck w/ that! Another smoke/mirror reg. that costs $ to even pretend to enforce/comply. npr.org/sections/healt…
“Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is not going to answer for us, how do we establish shelter and who pays?” Logic-chopping to differentiate campers from stargazers when it's the former w/ nowhere to go at 2 am. If you own that, in the US, you are an ATM. opb.org/article/2024/0…
Given the extent to which "libertarians" have crossed into Covid denial, mitigation refusals, and the repudiation of the non-aggression principle/science, has the entire movement donned a tin foil hat? Any other Covid-conscious libertarians out there?open.substack.com/pub/importantc…
"I definitely worry that we're going to move to this kind of heavy-handed, lock-people-up, get-them-outta-sight-in-the-cheapest-way-possible approach." npr.org/sections/money…
Unprovoked aggression the world over rests on fictional narrative. So "we need Americans who demand — as atheists do — that truth claims be tethered to fact. We need Americans who understand — as atheists do — that the future of the world is in our hands." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
"Typically" in this context begs for a socially-biased response. That's a dream number.

"...no military or political leaders, or private contractors, were held legally accountable for what happened at Abu Ghraib or at any other facility where US detainees were tortured." theguardian.com/world/ng-inter…
“UAB processes do not allow any single physician to do what is alleged to have taken place in Texas. A multidisciplinary team makes decisions regarding donor acceptance criteria...reviewed on a continual basis.” Sounds like best practice to me. cnn.com/2024/04/12/hea…
"People would get a moment of courage or clarity, only to be told 'not yet.' “Your first answer has to be ‘yes,’” he said. “‘Yes, I can help you.’” cnn.com/2024/03/27/hea…

"...any community that values the American experiment — warts and all — needs to avoid normalizing Trump’s behavior as nothing more than Trump being Trump." And to cast a vote that helps defeat, not just protest, his candidacy - not enough in 2016 or 2024.deccanherald.com/opinion/dont-n…
"I have spent my life fighting oppression and injustice but what happened to my family and my community during Covid was that they were discarded, they were disposable and they were wilfully neglected." Today, the general population is in that category. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
"...people will always want to be told a better life is just around the corner." And that they need to do or avoid as little as possible to get there. The enablement of poor science literacy is as old as the hills and as deadly as our worst fears. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…
"It is a sad irony that people with limited or no digital skills are often the ones who stand to gain the most from digital health tools and interventions – like older persons or rural communities." Often, it takes good questions to get usable answers. medscape.com/viewarticle/di…
"Joe Biden is paying the price for America’s unprocessed COVID grief." No, dears, he's NOT paying the price, and it's not unprocessed grief, it's unprocessed deaths, disability, and premature aging. We have a lot more to fear from COVID than fear itself. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

1860's: We physically raised central Chicago to improve the sewer system and stop cholera! 2024: We can't install portable air filtration and UV systems in hospitals to stop c.ovi.d and other airborne diseases. We'd have to change the filters and bulbs! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_o…
This was a genuine moment of gaslighting and I know the term is wildly overused.
Justice Alito suggests that, if former presidents are subject to prosecution after leaving office, they'll be more likely to seek to unlawfully remain in office after they were defeated for re-election/their term has ended. JFC.

If you want the youth vote, then banning TikTok and condemning student protests is not the best way to go about it.

Panic is not the problem. People are not panicking. People aren’t even close to being vaguely alert. People are getting sick and dying from preventable diseases though, because we are so worried about the non-existent panic that we aren’t even doing basic health promotion.
Future Leana Wen op-ed: "I'm in hell: here's why it's not as bad as you think."
BREAKING: President Biden just signed into law a bill that will effectively ban TikTok. We'll keep saying it: This ban directly violates the First Amendment rights of the over 170 million Americans who use the platform.
The phrase “don’t panic” should be permanently retired in PH. It is mystifying & encourages deference to authority instead of validating reasonable fears. It encourages conspiratorial critiques. And it lost all credibility from repetition by Dems as well as by 45 during COVID
Literally no one is "pro panic" -- this sort of rhetoric has been used repeatedly to dismiss and shut down legitimate concerns/fears over deadly diseases, esp. in the face of completely inept or absent government action

I kid you not, My last fortune cookie said, “You may need to hide how smart you are.” Is that what we have to do now? 🙈 Throw away your mental advantage folks. Just trash those IQ points. In fact, stop using your brains.
Watching the coordinated silencing effort of scientists who are desperately asking for a better understanding of the details that has led to over 20M deaths is deeply troubling.
For at least a decade after AIDS was first described, the national response was marked by bigotry, denial and irrationality. Forty years later, in the midst of another pandemic, we seem to have learned little. Now, as then, 100s of thousands will die painfully and needlessly.
People complaining about long ER wait times and doctor shortages...are you advocating for universal masking in healthcare settings?
Imagine if people applied COVID logic to other things “Omg can you smoke outside? I don’t want to inhale secondhand smoke!” “No way you can smell the smoke from there. I’m literally standing 2 meters away from you.” “But I CAN smell it!” “I think you’re being paranoid.”
Folks, anything or anyone or any policy that has even a hint of "you do you" risk assessment, I remind you that one of the leading Covid researcher folks "assessed his own risk" got into an elevator unmasked and in 27 seconds contracted a disease that affected him for months.
Thank you Meghan Markle for leading by example and wearing a high quality mask to protect children in hospital!
