Healthcare provider. Trying to keep it together.
Another day where the president & other national Republicans get to sh*t on cities/urban voters & we have <exactly none> of the National Conversations™️ about Civility, Tone, Respect for/Reaching out to Real Folkz, or the GOP’s problem of not offering enough Moderate Solutions on Kitchen Table Issues
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
The SAVE Act doesn't stop non-citizens from voting – it puts the ballot behind a paywall for Americans. If your name doesn't match your license, you lack a passport, or can't afford new documents, Republicans deem your vote invalid. The right to vote can’t come with barriers.
The anxiety i feel the night before I take the teenager to the dentist. Say a prayer for my bank account.

Great piece on the largely imaginary shoplifting surge: I do think one thing the piece misses is that a bunch of major police departments started years-long work slowdowns in 2020 where they refused to do their jobs (often falsely claiming their hands were tied by woke prosecutors)

“I only like people who like me.” He is truly underrated as a moral philosopher. Jesus-level, really.

Sometimes patients tell me stuff from their pasts that just fucks with my head. Some of the things yall General Public have been through and are expected to function.
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great Wednesday. Just wanted to make sure everyone knows what a baby heron looks like. Ok bye see you later www.instagram.com/p/DateeyJCE3Y/
Please stop demanding politicians and/or their staff storm a hospital. It's giving covid-truther weirdos from the pandemic and puts hospital staff in an awful position. No one is entitled to entry into someone's hospital room cmon.
"About 1:30 p.m. on Monday, a photographer for The New York Times, Andrew Leyden, took photos of a National Park Service crew pulling up sections of the pool’s blue lining with their bare hands." exactly as I predicted last month. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...
Mechanism and updated prediction for the epic fail of Lincoln Memorial Bioreactor's polyurea coating! First chemistry, then physics It was sprayed in big sections. In addition to pool edges, failure will concentrate at the OVERLAP SEAMS between sections because they likely barely bonded at all. 1/x
The menopause transition is a cardiometabolic inflection. We have tools to improve the health of women, but they are often not fully used. A new study wants to find out how much we can improve women’s cardiometabolic health if we employ all those tools correctly. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

I would just like to highlight here that even bags of meth (or any other drug) do not create justification for the use of deadly force. Even if the subject is fleeing.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 3w agoWild stuff; the Trump admin appears to be getting ready to claim that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, shot and killed by ICE on his way to work, had multiple baggies of meth just sitting in plain view on the DASHBOARD for anyone to see. I know the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, but COME ON.
I don’t think people appreciate the fact that Trump and the GOP want to defund all your services- including SS and Medicare- and use that money to take the worlds already biggest defense budget and more than double it. Double it

I don’t give a flying fuck about Lindsay on the Acela to hell. BUT There are people in your lives and online that are reading your homophobic nonsense. They are the ones that are feeling it. Trust me when I tell you, the suicide hotlines are on fire when you do this shit. Fucking stop it.
‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions
1/ I looked at 20 years of Supreme Court decisions and found that for the first time, all nine justices decided more cases by secret ballot — aka the “shadow docket” — than it did for cases argued in open court last term. 🧵:
The truest form of patriotism is not pretending we are perfect. It's loving this country enough to keep fighting for what it promises to be. Freedom. Equality. Justice that does not stop at anyone's door. That is the America worth celebrating today, and the one worth building.
What no one ever considers is: What if "investing in Red America" is just politically hopeless? Can we maybe, for once, invest in blue America instead?
Jigar Shah@jigarshahdc.bsky.social · last mo.Granholm's point is blunt: 70% of IRA factory announcements landed in red America — and almost nobody knew. If clean energy is going in people's homes, they need to know where it came from.
