It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

To understand Mamdani’s appeal we asked some folks who make their money by taking a cut of political TV ad spend what they thought of his primarily social media outreach.

Salute to the accessible, unapologetic voice that came out of the Teen Vogue political writers. It looks like that moment is over. You will be missed.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

As a child I ate government cheese and free school lunches. I then went on to uni thanks largely to Pell grants.
I now (HAPPILY) pay taxes on an income that would not have been possible without that support.
Taking care of your citizens is good actually.

Just thinking: I am a double-boarded physician-scientist at @uclahealth.org, but I grew up in poverty. Gov't provided the welfare & foodstamps that aided my refugee family. Gov't grants subsidized my education.
I am only where I am today bc of the #America that was. And it makes me want to cry.

Here’s the thing. Let’s say we have elections next year and Dems run the table. And then they do the same in 2028.
They. Will. Never. Undo. The. Damage.
They will mewl like a tiny kitten that what we must focus on now is unity. They will beseech the GOP on how to better serve them.

listen. you can have ‘we need to do something about men’s feelings of isolation!’ or you can have ‘men are biologically required to do friendship by calling each other racial slurs and joking about raping women.’ you can’t have both. at some point the call can only be coming from inside the house

I think jamelle’s “rational assessment” is no more rigorous than: Biden made a joke about “don’t tell them I wasn’t wearing it” on national TV, so now it’s all over.
(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)
