The US took a huge step to combat the #opioidoverdose crisis at the end of 2022- the #xwaiver is gone! But did you know about this? My latest with my brother, @BenjaminLinas, in @statnews! (A Linas & Linas first!) statnews.com/2023/02/14/x-w…

I’m out, X. Find me on the butterfly app. I hope to see many others there!

America put a convicted felon in the White House before a woman. The message we just sent to the world. Yikes.

Many will endure hardships. For me (and committed colleagues), it means the struggle to defend science + counter antiscience forces becomes more complicated/daunting. This time we’ll need better support from the societies, college presidents, elected leaders who care. Tough times

Devastating news this morning for women, for immigrants, for science, for love. Hate, misinformation, misogyny, and lies have won. The US holds no longer the American dream for me. 😢

This is your daily reminder that Donald Trump is responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade.

She’s talking about things like the cost of living, building housing, the child tax credit, the right to choose. He’s talking about political violence—approvingly. Only one candidate is fit to be President. Let’s make sure she wins.

Meanwhile in PA.

Some of you may be considering sitting this election out, or voting for a third-party candidate, because you strongly disagree with Kamala Harris about Gaza. This thread is for you 🧵

@Kcummins760 Suppressing data due to small cell size is normal and expected as to not unmask the identity of participants. That’s the only data suppressing that’s acceptable. That’s not what this article is describing.

@bethlinas Suppression of data already occurs at institutions and widely by researchers. When is it okay?

“Even without congressional support, Mr. Trump could significantly change CDCs mission, scope & independence. His administration could suppress data collection for gun violence & gender identity, for example, or expand the agency’s tracking of abortions” nytimes.com/2024/10/31/hea…

This is what democracy looks like.

Some people seem to have forgotten how bad a president Trump was, so I made a list of the 100 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency, in no particular order. Please share and add anything I missed. 🧵

Turns out the Call Her Daddy interview was the single-most informative interview about the VP this entire election cycle. It will also reach more people than any mainstream media interview. So, makes a lot of sense the VP did the interview & mainstream media should take notes.

Fentan-ILL not fentan-ALL. Just FYI.

There is no such thing as a perfect leader. In fact, if someone claims to be a perfect leader, they are probably not even a good leader, as they lack the self-awareness needed to seek out feedback and continue to grow and improve.

Extraordinary for JD Vance to invoke a friend who needed an abortion, while appearing on behalf of the president who ended American women’s right to choose.
