Not that I've been in one since the 90's, but I certainly don't ever plan to go again.

I'm so grateful for the endorsement of @shannonrwatts.bsky.social, a true leader and an inspiration to women across the country. If you missed our conversation on Substack live this morning, stay tuned for a replay to hear about my U.S. Senate race and my plan to give the people what they want!

β€˜Happy (and safe) shooting!’: chatbots helped researchers plot deadly attacks Users posing as would-be school shooters find AI tools offer detailed advice on how to perpetrate violence

"Tests of 10 chatbots carried out in the US and Ireland found that, on average, they enabled violence three-quarters of the time, and discouraged it in just 12% of cases.... AI chatbots helped researchers plot violent attacks including bombing synagogues and assassinating politicians."

I met some of the nicest and some of the worst people ever doing that job in undergrad and grad school. Just learning to read the handwriting…

Bonus, I met a lovely med student that I dated for ~ a year because I knew the order of labs on fluid from a paracentesis (I have since forgotten that info)

61 years ago today, peaceful protesters marching for voting rights were brutally attacked in what would become one of the most pivotal moments of the Civil Rights Movement. And here we are, decades later, still seeing attacks on our voting rights.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

grassroots/community public health workers the world over have to do/deal with so much, I suspect the majority of people outside the field have no understanding of what that means/what kind of people ph workers have to deal with. Telling people they're stupid and evil will get you nowhere.

I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

I wasn't intimidated by Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi's MAGA money before, and I'm certainly not now. The people of Illinois will decide this race.

Trump is dragging us into another forever war that the American people didn't ask for. Six American service members have been killed, thousands more have been put at risk, and countless civilians are now caught in the crossfire.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspendedβ€”and so were my wife's.

I truly would not mind paying taxes if I had paved roads and sidewalks and funded schools and childcare and healthcare… as it is, I’m only paying taxes for war and tax cuts for the wealthy.

Ivermectin is making a post-pandemic comeback, among cancer patients The anti-parasitic drug became a household name during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is now being embraced as an alternative treatment for cancer. It is as politically polarizing as ever.

There is no credible evidence that ivermectin has any impact as a cancer treatment.

If you choose to take it instead of undergoing standard treatment, you will die from your cancer.

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

I like to include individual doses of ibuprofen or acetaminophen and the packets of laundry detergent when I put bags together.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Quick reminder of what we’re doing to Cuba, while also failing to get justice for all the survivors of Epstein, et al., and killing schoolgirls in Iran, and the 13,729 other totally πŸ’© things being done by this administration. How is it still only February?!

Raccoon hammocks made out of jeans for your Friday.

You're welcome.
