Imagine growing up in a LMIC grateful for the MMR vaccine, only to see all the stupid woo/anti-pharma shit metastasize from Berkeley to DC, over the course of your career in public health. Just demoralizing

You know how the Biden admin tried to do "return to normal" and essentially tried to quietly reunite + compensate for the T1 admin's wrongs, and we (including myself) weren't paying attention? Not now, not ever again. These people must be held to account for these atrocities.

I would add that they would need to see similar commitment from Dems now, clear overtures and at least some framework as to how they'll fix the damage.

So glad and grateful that your insightful and hilarious mind is here.

First runner-up, name starts with T, ends with hump.

Although I'm willing to bet that will change after It Happens

Even then, it was impossible to miss the signs of a deeply committed and compassionate leader. After everything we’ve been through over the past decade and seeing all she has accomplished, I honestly cannot think of anyone more thoughtful, capable, or prepared to serve as president.

Maybe it's my bias being in the pmc, but back in 2015/16 I remember thinking we need a leader with Obama’s charisma and something more.. someone bolder and more progressive. I didn't think that it was possible...until I saw AOC interacting with people on a train to NYC back in late 2018

I honestly don't see a path to a democratuc and more humane society without prosecuting and persecuting these abusers.

THIS!! Much like the the way our collective souls are damned for trying to move past DHS atrocities from T1, we ignored survivors' pleas for justice and systemlic accountability until the abusers returned to power to double the abuse.

I remember during the Biden admin hearing how bad the first T admin and being infuriated as a person and parent. And I blame myself for falling into the "return to normal" mindset. But now? We all must be held accountable for these atrocities.

This nearly broke me when I heard. I couldn't look at my wife and kid without tears

And to quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, we will absolutely win!

If we as a society, do anything less, then we absolutely do not deserve to exist.

once again saying: our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse.

Cinematic gold 🤌🏿

I should add that I'm a big fan of your work since days of the blue bird, joined Bsky because of you and a host of great thinkers.
