The Republican Party needs to be disbanded. There is no way to separate the corruption from what people argue is salvageable.

“Our expert ethical analysis does not support withholding gender-affirming care from minors.”
As pediatric bioethicists, we wrote this analysis of the ethical shortcomings and flawed conclusions driving the two proposed bans on gender-affirming care.

UPDATE!!! The Tribune Editorial Board endorsed the AlPAC candidate in my race partially because she left the IL progressive caucus because she supports unconditional military aid to Israel.
In their eyes, it’s “a principled position for a principled Democrat.”

Worth noting that Dershowitz blocked Finkelstein’s tenure appointment in retaliation for Finkelstein’s criticism of Israel.
THIS is how more men should have responded to Epstein and Dershowitz
TLDR: Finklestein called them Pedos and threatened to strangle them.

Civility is a cudgel to beat your sense of moral obligation and outrage into submission
I know there are some folks who say it’s crucial to be “civil” when discussing fellow physicians
But if those physicians are senior MAGA/MAHA actors in the Trump regime—a regime that’s terrorizing & killing people—& if the MDs are dismantling public health, which will kill kids, MUST we be civil?

“The “physicians” and other folks now running the CDC and FDA, as well as the constellation of various advisory panels and committees, are now openly saying that they will accept a world where more children die of preventable diseases in the name of their anti-vaccine crusades.”

Why do I feel like Melania made a call?
Well, there’s been one resignation by someone who appeared multiple times in the Epstein Files, just not in America. Former Slovakian Foreign Minister and adviser to PM Robert Fico Miroslav Lajcak has stepped down.

Mark is, according to his bio, a professor who specializes in inequities in society and networks.
Yet here he is defending his pal who took meetings and fundings from Epstein.
But… you’ll be relieved to know… his friend who was chummy with Epstein? Always seemed nice to Mark.

I feel like someone’s gotta say something, so I guess it’s going to be me. I’m 100% certain that I either know, have met, or have sought meetings with people who have done horrible things in their lives, too. How about y’all? Association is not causation, and it's not guilt — of anything. (1/8)
