“I watched your show this morning,” Trump told Joe & #Mika during a 2/2016 ad break. "You have me almost as a legendary figure, I like that.” #HotMic catches Mika describe a "wow moment" at a Trump rally; Joe says they played it "several times." #Soledad
#HotMic 2016: Trump to Joe & Mika the interview "will make us all look good." Joe: “Exactly." Joe: “We really do have to go to some questions"; Mika: "the um, the ones with, um, deportation?” Trump: “Nothing too hard, Mika.” There were no Qs about deportation. #Soledad
#HotMic 2016 catches @MorningJoe again discussing Qs with Trump during the next ad break. “Nice beautiful question, Mika,” Trump said as an aside towards the end of the audio. #Soledad americasvoice.org/blog/hot-mic-a…
"Nobody who’s covered the Trump run could fail to notice the increasingly hot-and-sweaty ménage a trois between the candidate & @Morning_Joe's Mika and Joe." Trump gave the "duo chummy shout-outs at multiple campaign-trail events." #Soledad rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
.@Morning_Joe's "rehearsed & 'safe' town hall" w/ Trump in Feb 2016 "was completely worthless tv" that highlighted the many ways in which the media’s coverage of Trump has been soft, insufficient, & without substance." #Soledad slate.com/news-and-polit…
.@IChotiner Slate 2/16: @MSNBC's reliance on Trump's "ratings—a problem that is especially acute at @CNN—means that they need to maintain a certain amount of politeness when dealing with the real estate magnate." #Soledad
.@Slate 2/2016: "there are no signs the media’s sick, interminable honeymoon w/ Trump will come to an end anytime soon. Which means that rather than witnessing the beginning of the end of Trump’s time in the political spotlight, we may not even be at the end of the beginning."

“#Migraine is a neurological disorder, not a terrible, disabling #headache," expert @DavidDodick explains. #Pain is "just 1 clinical manifestation deriving from a sensory processing disturbance affecting the nervous system" (Morgan, Lancet 2020). /Thread thelancet.com/journals/laneu…
Billie lost her insurance when #migraine disabled her: “There are days I don't see anything except for shapes." Visual warnings are the most commonly recognized auras, but these symptoms are highly variable, both in different patients & on different days for the same patient. 2/
Difficulty speaking or speaking clearly is another common #migraine symptom, either preceding or during an attack.

Poor St. Husband. He watched this clip & said, "Yup, that's you." I spent a lotta years in school to talk like this. 3/

A Yale study of 10 patients found 1 dose of #psilocybin can cut #migraine frequency in half for 2 weeks. Each patient did 1 session with placebo, 1 with the drug. People who felt most high got the least migraine relief. /thread newatlas.com/health-wellbei…
The Yale researchers who conducted the small, but 1st of its kind study suggest #migraine patients might benefit from microdoses or sub-hallucinogenic doses of #psilocybin. Understanding how psilocybin prevents migraine might open new pathways for drug development, as well.
I did 2 #migraine clinical trials. I'm glad someone else took this one for the team. I hated Methysergide (Sansert), now discontinued, which was synthesized from lysergic #acid. A 1965 study said Sansert users experienced a "confused feeling of unreality." Tell me about it.

“[W]idespread & variable dysfunction of the nervous system…comprises the aberrant brain state of a #migraine attack” (Charles 2017).

Daily/near-daily migraine is continuous migraine. Imaging shows our brains *always* look like brains during an "attack" (Brennan 2018). >thread
Recurrent #migraine & #pain aren't benign. “Long-lasting &/or repetitive pain over years leads to profound functional as well as structural changes in the brain networks" (Brennan).

Ineffective treatment is a leading risk of progression to continuous migraine. #MedicalTwitter
Brennan & Pietrobon's paper "A Systems Neuroscience Approach to #Migraine" (Neuron 2018) is @headsUPmigraine's favorite. I excerpted it for others like me who aren't fluent in #neurochemistry:

Even if they support the #DeathPenalty, most people think that only people who've killed should be killed.

🔴Prosecutors never claimed #DustinHiggs killed anyone, but #Barr has scheduled him to die 5 days before inauguration. Deeply moving video: /thread vimeo.com/194702182
#DustinHiggs was in his early 20s when he drove a shooter from a crime scene. Prosecutors said the shooter "acted alone," but they failed to get the #DeathPenalty. So they accused Higgs of being the mastermind.

The shooter got life w/ no parole. Higgs is to die on 1/15/21.
Jurors did NOT hear mitigating factors that might've led them to choose death in prison by no parole over execution. They didn't know he was 10 when he was his mother's f/t caretaker as she died of breast cancer. Nor did they know he has learning & developmental disabilities.
