New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

We should all worry about the chaos at the CDC But there’s an even larger and longer-term health threat quietly unfolding For @theatlantic.com I wrote about how the Trump admin’s ‘AI Action Plan’ risks hardwiring bias and inequity into medicine for decades. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

RFK Jr is driving this country towards an almost certain public health disaster. If Democrats can’t stop it, at the very least they can get it on the record now that they wanted him gone and the GOP wanted him kept in. Underline how they own the disasters to come. It’s Politics 101.

of the work and thinking for us. I'm not really into that. It's a reason I wouldn't encourage my kids to go into medicine (one of several reasons!) even if it has been mostly good to me and I still wouldn't make a different choice for myself.

the closure of packaging it up into something meaningful mostly for my own benefit next time I see the patient but also anyone else who is looking. But we're being told this is not an optional tool but we will be expected to all start using it, and it will become more advanced and do even more

are... not good, in my opinion, although many others really love it. If I read my own note created with this tool I feel no sense of connection or memory I was even in the room. I guess that's just me. But I actually get joy from the process of turning these interactions into a story of sorts,
Ntate Jefe (@ntatejefe.bsky.social) reply parent
This is happening in medicine too. There are so many ways that technology improves efficiency and collaboration, and I'm not at all against it. I love many aspects! But now we have AI Scribe that records the patient interaction and translates it to a standard format medical note. And the notes ...

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

I get that the economic effects are the biggest concern for most people and those have not been good. So if somehow the economy turns around will people overlook all the harm done to individuals and decide Trump is competent after all?

Most of the examples listed are intentional actions taken in service of anti-immigrant, racist, xenophobic, and anti-science views. They are doing it fairly efficiently and successfully so far. Do you think ineptitude is really the right word for what people don't like about it?

This is absolutely devastating - the NIH hospital called ICE about a patient on a patient seeking care. Sadly, this is, yet, one of countless examples of health care settings being extensions of the carceral state. As health care workers, it our duty to do no harm, to protect our patients.

Strongly agree with the takeaway here that the ultimate goal needs to be increasing the size of the House and having proportional representation. The size of the House has been artificially capped for almost a century. prospect.org/politics/202...

That's great, I hope it helps your health and well-being! I'm glad you have a doctor you trust. However, some doctors are quacks 🦆 out there and don't follow evidence based guidelines, so I think some oversight and regulation are actually good.

Chronic venous insufficiency is not what I would call dangerous and has nothing to do with cognitive impairment. Obviously has other stuff going on that they're not telling us.

Good to know, close enough is always great if it saves time. If u feel like using the fresh stuff on occasion, it's pretty fast to smash the cloves with your hand or a knife, and the peel comes right off. And supposedly it breaks open the cells and helps the flavor start to come out. 🧄

i very much agree with @sifill.bsky.social here. the explanation that fits the evidence is that the republicans on the court fully believe in trump's vision of executive power, which itself rests on a claim of sovereignty derived from a spiritual connection to "the people"

A few things are clear from this: 1. Trump has lost control of the narrative. 2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files. 3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries. 4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.

Stephen Miller spent millions of federal dollars to do a "show of force" in a quiet Los Angeles public park while the administration tells Texas it doesn't have the money to help them handle this nightmare. I'm really hoping to see some newspapers/elected officials state this obvious point.
