If you need to be outside during an air quality advisory due to wildfire smoke, experts advise to "do you."
Preventing breathing harmful particles in wildfire smoke would be easier if only we had a way to cover our faces, maybe with some sort of a veil or protective covering.
Wildfire smoke can cause unhealthy air quality, but one way to improve the air quality is to change the metric by which we define "unhealthy." Now go out and shop!

It may seem confusing that Cornel West would endorse Ron DeSantis until you realize that West is on the board of Classic Learning Initiatives, which created the Classic Learning Test that DeSantis just approved funding for all school districts in Florida to use.
Cornel West on the board of the Classic Learning Initiatives: cltexam.com/about/leadersh….
"Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1537 into law on May 9, 2023, making Florida the first state in the nation to fund all school districts to utilize the Classic Learning Test (CLT)" cltexam.com/clt-florida/#:….

What we learned from the 1854 cholera outbreak is that it’s more important to shame people for drinking water than holding accountable the powers that be for making the water undrinkable. That way they fight among each other and stop bothering elites.
Does shame work in public health? Public health experts say no but some of the most popular pamphleteers who told us to follow the science say yes because that’s all they’re capable of, so…maybe?
Hey friends, ACT UP isn’t founded for more than 130 years after I die. Since their legacy keeps getting thrown around to justify…shaming and criminalization (?), can someone help me understand which way they punched, up or down? I’ll be available by seance all night.

Sure, everyone knows @LHSummers is an asshole for saying women aren't as good as men at math and science and joking about dumping "toxic waste in the lowest wage country," but please remember he was also friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

The only thing Larry Summers @LHSummers loved more than Jeffrey Epstein was hating unemployment insurance for poor families.

Does everyone remember when Larry @LHSummers convinced Bill Clinton not to sign the Kyoto Protocol and pass climate change legislation in the 90s? I do! nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB3…

Covid-19 media accounts to follow.

Legacy media are a major reason why so many in the US are desensitized to mass death and disability, angrily opposed to empathy, and willing to accept so little from the powerful. Here are media accounts to follow instead.

A thread.
Peste Magazine (@PesteMagazine), a magazine of health journalism and human rights, which consistently publishes defiant and sharp writing about the pandemic you won’t find anywhere else. Living with covid = dying f...
The Nation (@thenation), where Gregg Gonsalves (@gregggonsalves) serves as a public health corresponent and writes columns about the malpractice of covid coverage and policy:
