    When ground ambulances were left out of Congress surprise billing fix, I got curious about how what should be public service became big biz. In short, Reagan cut federal EMS $ and kicked responsibility to locales, then private equity swooped in. My piece:

    thinking of how school shooting truthers treat the surviving loved ones of murdered children makes me downright queasy. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a completely unsettling lunatic

    A few minutes ago I was about to correct someone who said that Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Sandy Hook truther and tell them "no, she's a Parkland truther." Turns out...she's both. What a disgrace. What a horrible human being.

    actually just cancel all of them

    The Japanese government has privately concluded that the Tokyo Olympics will have to be cancelled because of the coronavirus, and the focus is now on securing the Games for the city in the next available year, 2032

    I can’t wait to go to parties again so I can casually drop some historic weapon facts I learned on forged in fire!

    the lesson of the last 10 years on the filibuster is that refusing to abolish it to do good policy only means that in the future the opposition will abolish it to do bad policy, which they'll do anyway only now nothing good will have happened first

    “Three times as likely” strikes me as an understatement

    The US police are *three times as likely* to use force against left-wing protesters than right-wing protestors.

    We've accomplished a lot at over the last decade, but there was always one milestone that eluded us and weighed heavily on my mind. Thankfully, today, that weight has been lifted: we were mentioned in a John Kass column.

    he ran in 1988 and 2008 so I think wanting to be president was his primary inspiration

    New: Charlottesville inspired Joe Biden to run. Now, the counter protesters he called heroes have a message for the incoming president, as does Heather Heyer's mother. You don't unite with those who oppose democracy, you unite the country against them

    Doing a close reading of a city's laws against "unlawful" camping & storage of property in public spaces & while I've long known it's illegal to be w/o a home, it's still chilling to read in technocratic detail how you can be fined or imprisoned for being w/o housing

    Restaurant, club, and bar workers!! I highly recommend getting an additional one and adding it to the first aid kit at your workplace I once was on shift and we thought someone had OD'ed in the bathroom and I realised that we //needed// some on hand 24/7

    Picked up naloxone at pharmacy today - plan to carry it around with me in my bag from now on. A quick nasal spray can reverse an opioid overdose, and you never know when you’ll be around someone who needs it. No prescription needed, free w/ insurance or thru many community orgs.

    and like the rest of you, I'm very charmed by Bernie's mittens - even if I don't understand why anyone would pick mittens over gloves, insofar as they basically turn your hands into paws

    the COVID-19 memorial segment yesterday worked well. For all his faults, Biden has always connected with people through grief. Closing in on a year of such profound loss, it's striking there had never been a large public mourning until yesterday. I think that stuff matters

    a few corny lib sentiments: * It's cool Jill Biden's dissertation is on community college student retention * I've always kinda liked Kamala Harris' converse and suit thing * Doug Emhoff has done well at being supportive background spouse. You don't see men in that role a lot

    My insulin fell out of the fridge and my kid put it back in the freezer by mistake and thereby destroyed and insurance won't replace it so that's $800 which luckily I have because if I didn’t I'd simply die, which is what happened to one of my students. So time to get to work.

    **I should add that I was able to get it without a prescription for no copay in Massachusetts, but laws differ from state to state and are readily searchable online.
