On April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated, my father delivered what would be his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” He spoke with a clarity that came from conviction, not certainty. He acknowledged the difficulty of the days ahead, yet he was not moved by fear. He was anchored in purpose and in a faith that justice would prevail. What stands out to me is not only what he said, but how he said it. He was preparing people to stay committed, to stay disciplined, and to continue the work, even without him. His words are not just history. They are instruction. Watch the full speech: youtu.pulse.ly/fymqiqfrfx #MLK #BelovedCommunity #Nonviolence365

Truly incredible stuff here. This is such an egregious error for the A section of the NYT (not a typo, genuinely not knowing what NATO stands for) that it should lead every piece on the decline in journalism

This country will not be a permanently good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a reasonably good place for all of us to live in. Theodore Roosevelt

Much touted AI scribes freed up 15 min per day, allowed 0.5 more pt visits per week, and no change in at-home work by physicians. Certainly far less than transformative. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

There are far too many fools for the day to be funny.

What could possibly go wrong? #CDC pauses support for states on testing for #rabies & #mpox because it doesn't have the personnel to do the work. 2 pathogens you really don't want to mess with, rabies & mpox. nytimes.com/2026/04/01/hea…

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

This is appalling. Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of this continent and, here in New Mexico, we live that truth every day. The fact that the Solicitor General of the United States would hesitate on our citizenship is outrageous and horrific. He doesn’t understand basic American history or the law, and he has no business holding this position.

Yes, I'm an economist. And yes, I'll talk about oil and gas prices. But still, I wonder whether (and why) we're avoiding talking about the bigger costs of war.

This is insane. 59 million family caregivers provided 49.5 billion hours of unpaid care in a single year, with a total value of $1.01 trillion, according to the AARP. These Americans carry our system on their backs, but their labor is uncompensated and treated as invisible.

"I wish that my father had lived to see this day. He was an extraordinary man who came to the United States as a young child and overcame many difficulties and made many sacrifices so that my sister and I would have opportunities that he did not enjoy" - Samuel Alito 10-31-2005

In 1980, China’s infant mortality rate was roughly five times that of the United States. Today, it is about half the US rate.

I’ve said repeatedly, clean air/ ventilation remains the biggest missed opportunity / lesson from the pandemic. Because it’s about far more than just Covid. 👇🏽

A+ Matt!

Rotherham, England replaced 8 miles of mowed grass with wildflowers. They saved £25,000 in mowing costs a year and bees, butterflies, and birds showed up almost immediately.

Despite what internet trolls might say, eating plant-based protein does not make you any less “manly.” Eating soy foods doesn’t change men’s hormonal makeup, and it’s well-established that soy products are not only safe to eat but also confer a number of health benefits, especially when replacing processed and red meats.
