Fair amount of overlap between the people who like to say <citation needed> and the people who let LLMs hallucinate citations for them

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social has filed an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit against RFK Jr. by five medical and public health organizations, including @apha.org, for his dismantling of science-based vaccine policy.

This man must be stopped!

The lack of U.S. gun laws has created a violence epidemic unlike anywhere else on Earth. This is domestic errorism

We must stop tinkering around the edges of a broken healthcare system.

Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits.

We need Medicare for All.

Mamdani grew up navigating Desi uncles at dinner parties. He was well prepared. IYKYK

What time?

Thank you so much! I had never heard of it and just tried. So nice to search and not receive 10 hits of Reddit, quora, and pure trash

I just had my daughter watch Mamdanu’s victory speech with me, and then we danced to Dhoom Machale. Very overjoyed

Public confession of using the phrase “chai tea”

lmao

My Post headline

Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them.

That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Remember when RFK Jr. challenged Senator Wyden to a mailbag size contest?

Defend Public Health has a new campaign. You can help prove that scientists and healthcare workers do not, in fact, support RFK Jr.’s agenda by sending Senator Wyden a postcard.

When Senator Wyden stated he’d heard from thousands of doctors and scientists concerned by RFK Jr’s policies, Kennedy responded "I'll put my mailbag against your mailbag any day.” Let's prove Kennedy ...

Shoutout to Huntrx and Saja Boys for helping get my daughter up early for middle school.

Thanks to neighbors for welcoming her belting out K-pop Demon Hunters lyrics at 7:30 as she waits for the bus

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

As a brown person living in Manhattan when 9/11 happened I know racism and Islamophobia never went away but boy is it not great to log on every day and see politicians being so gleefully awful toward a guy who looks like me and my family

There are two kinds of people we’re fighting in public health — antivaxxers and minimizers. And minimizers are almost worse than antivaxxers. With antivaxxers, bad is clearly bad — they lie, twist facts, push grifts, and spread disinformation. They do what we expect them to do.

Despite his own privileged path to power, or perhaps because of it, the son of a Columbia University professor and a movie director is campaigning as a socialist intent on redistributing New York’s wealth.
