I also want to offer a special thanks to my long time friend and former colleague @jaackrodgers.bsky.social. He introduced me to the amazing people at AHPSS and without him, this story wouldn't have happened.
So grateful for friends who are always looking to tell important stories.

NEW: This is a story that took months to pull together and broke my heart a million times writing it.
But this isnt a sad story.
This is about courage, compassion and survival. And the herculean efforts of a group of people who refuse to lay down and die.

This is a good source of information.
I'll warn against random podcasts that a few of you have mentioned. There are some misconceptions about radiation that are so widespread that those podcasts probably share them and then build on them for further misconceptions, as the NYT article does.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, that's pretty weird, right? I wonder how many days he'll go without being in public until an intrepid journalist asks why. Might even be a book in it. Do you know anyone?
Trump wasn't seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn't seen today. He has no public events scheduled this weekend. Trump hasn't been seen in public since Weds, and it's unclear if he'll be seen in public until Tues.
That's pretty damn weird.

Senator @markwarner.bsky.social, here are the facts on Biden, Mexico and border crossings from Migration Policy Institute. This should be part of any discussion of this going forward. Don't help Trump deceive people about what happened during the Biden years.

this thread just moved something in my soul
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

A thread about feelings stuff around Our New Political Reality™.
First of all, as always:
eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back
The first three make an ENORMOUS difference in our capacity to grapple w/ All The Things; the last two are kind of The Point.
