I am so fucking sick and tired of the exhortation to "touch grass". It is patronizing, condescending, petty, trivial, and banal. As soon as I see or hear it, I immediately disregard the writer/speaker and everything they have expressed - at least in the utterance where "touch grass" appears.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed?

@kylegriffin1.bsky.social the @ama-assn.org has caved to Trump. They invited known grifter Dr Mehmet Oz to give a speech, but, the AMA board/ John Whyte decided to censor all delegates in the following way.

Who needs university-trained economists when you have DoorDash data?
Sadly, this outcome is not surprising. Under fascist regimes (and, more broadly, under authoritarian systems), data about a country often becomes more scarce, less reliable, or tightly controlled.

Well, yet again the Democrats have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They NEVER stick to their guns. The Republicans ALWAYS win these kinds of situations. ALWAYS.
The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!
