Some media outlets are already sane-washing Bhattacharya. To learn more about how he has spread disinformation that undermines public health, is widely discredited by real experts, and is funded by dark money, read this piece by Walker Bragman who has tracked him throughout the pandemic: https://www.importantcontext.news/p/everything-you-need-to-know-about
Everything You Need to Know About Donald Trump’s (Likely) NIH Pick

Important Context

I tested Threads. In my experience, this is how Threads compares to Mastodon:

— The algorithm decides if your content is visible to others. Some content gets zero exposure for reasons which are not transparent.

— Sharing links to other platforms makes the algorithm suppress your content's visibility.

— Slower to use.

— Only one app allowed, and it does not support iPads and other tablets.

— Ads are coming in early 2025.

— You cannot run your own server.

— Your data is mined by Zuckerberg.

@rchusid Every pick would be a disaster. I think his goal is to destroy the country as revenge for rebuffing him in 2020. Either that or under Putin's instruction. Or both.
@AkaSci Ammon Bundy for Interior Secretary?
Who here is still on X-twitter? Am I missing anything? Are progressives still on board?
@rchusid Well, like HL Mencken said, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard" and boy, are we going to get it.
@nathans Only in my dreams.
Donald Trump's path back to power is paved by America's elites

@Albatrossity Do they really have a yellow-green breast or is that a reflection off the tree?
