I second the appreciation for authors working in the commercial determinants space, even if not always calling it that. You all help shine a light on deceptive and harmful corporate practices that we need to stamp out.

So great to launch this work. So much more to come each week.

We leaned on great work by @dharna.bsky.social, @fastlerner.bsky.social, @markpetticrew.bsky.social and others to launch. Appreciate what you do.
