Inflammatory disorders can be brutal. I’d know personally (thanks vasculitis et al). But the misinformation, including on vaccines, is dangerous. A deep dive from me into how MAHA sped up the inflammation panic. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Great Inflammation panic

The wellness world's favorite buzzword has gone federal. For those of us with real inflammatory disorders, the misinformation isn't just annoying—it's harmful.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

A tax code that allows fortunes to compound indefinitely not only widens inequality, but concentrates political power. In a new essay for @projectsyndicate.bsky.social, @mikemadowitz.bsky.social argues that when private fortunes are vast enough to shape policy, taxes become a democratic issue.

Saving Democracy Requires Taxing Extreme Wealth

Michael Madowitz believes the design of policies to address concentrated wealth has vastly improved, and not a moment too soon.

Agree with Chris as to Vincent, were he a member of my family, yeah, he'd be gone. The growing up part has to come from renewing your respect for our Constitution. Until that day, there are a lot of people I no longer talk to.

"He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached or voted out. But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him, the online radicalization that drummed his army; not the racism he amplified and reanimated" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Maybe the collective "FUCK YOU" to the convicted sex felon in the White House wasn't loud enough. Come on fellow Canadians shout it out and shout it proud.
