today in 1970 the Young Lords staged a 12-hr takeover of the Bronx's Lincoln Hospital—overcrowded, overrun by rats, called the "butcher shop" b/c medical residents trained on poor people of color

the takeover led to one of the first patients' bill of rights in history, and other wins @teenvogue.com

I learn from Threads that Pedro Pascal is being cancelled because he *checks notes* thinks Dostoevsky’s Crime & Punishment is a great book, and he is therefore spreading Russian propaganda

I think we should switch off the internet for a couple of months, just to see if it helps?

Moderna's combo Covid and flu mRNA shot outperforms current vaccines in large trial
A combination shot would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against Covid and the flu at the same time.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

again, I think a major problem with America is that a critical mass of voters and elites have convinced themselves they can't die even if they stab themselves—that it is impossible to elect a government that actually makes their lives worse so its all just a game

No Chuck, I'm worried about the fact that a deranged, unelected, drugged-up fascist billionaire has taken control of the federal government's payment systems and sensitive data and you're here talking about tomato prices.
You’re worried about tomato prices.

Wait till Trump’s Mexico tariffs raise your tomato prices.

My socials feed is the unique intersection of Carter (President) and Carter (Doctor). We are bereaved. Also, this new medical drama said some true things about corporate healthcare. This feed is mine.

it’s possible to believe both that NYT’s coverage of trump’s fascism has been grossly understated and that it’s bad for freedom of the press that he’s suing them
