This is the truest truth of all the truths (and there aren't many).

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is a reminder that most of the bench has never seen the inside of a trial court or a public defender’s office.

She’s schooling folks how this actually works.

Yup. This is validation why I dropped my subscription last year. Good lord.

A deadly bacterial disease is returning, doctors warn, as vaccination rates fall Hib once killed 1,000 children a year, permanently disabling many more. Doctors who've never seen the disease say the comeback is changing the way they practice medicine.

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.”

-Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University

This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

Please do! They’re not taking applications or warm intros from guys who look like me so hopefully you’ll have more luck pitching my merit. :-)

I’d totally take it. And call them out on their shit. And then they’d fire me.

She’s a true accomplice!

Seriously: how much million+ fraud happens in a direct pay healthcare system?

Cuz it feels like all fraud is directly related to govt/commercial 3rd party payers…

CROCKETT: Professor, are you saying you believe it's constitutional for the US to blow up people that are accused of being drug traffickers?

"It's not going to be a yes or no answer"

CROCKETT: I'm going to stop you there. It's unconstitutional.

I’m a psychiatrist!!! Honestly, there’s not much to him: he told us what he was going to do and he’s doing it.

I’m far more concerned about the millions of Americans who are mired in the cognitive dissonance of electing someone they know is harmful to us all.

I really REALLY want us to nix the term “billion” and switch to “thousand million.”

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

These folks are so good at playing in our collective faces.

I haven’t seen the clip yet but being lucky enough to work with folks with Tourette’s, there are some behavioral interventions that could be helpful. Say…he donates 70% of his total wealth right now to a Civil Rights group? Living off 30% could be very compelling to use his CBIT.

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

100%. Until we process our trauma, our shame, our guilt, we’re screwed.

28.49.% APR on a credit card I’ve had for over a decade. And I have a terrific credit score.

Middle class my ass.

Vote wisely.

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

1 square = 1 year.

My smile: it's a trick!!! If the world only knew...and now it does. :D

I’ve been putting it as my first line in each of my Substacks. Lol.

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does?

White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

Brilliant thread. We get stuck in our egocentric framework and forget that there are other possibilities. I love Star Trek. I love this thread. Hugs!

With all restrictive politics flying around lately, it made me wonder…when will we tighten up truth-in-advertising laws?

Arlington Cowboys?
Arlington Rangers?
Soon-to-be Plano Stars?

If the SAVE Act can be used to “ensure the truth”, surly we do the same with billionaires…right?

Argh.

Medicare For All won’t work (unless we change the Constitution.)

HSA’s for All is a much better approach.

My professor said ‘Black people are not interested in the environment’. I set out to prove him wrong Environmental sociologist Dorceta Taylor has helped her field to be more welcoming to researchers of colour.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

Holy moley; I didn’t even catch it. Another entry for my “Bear Witness” file.

The only thing missing from Bad Bunny’s Superbowl halftime show? A check for $30 billion to overhaul OUR electricity grid in Puerto Rico.

Well done, Benito!

Welp… #blesshisheart
