this news should be read in the context of vinay prasad — the top fda drug and vaccine regulator — getting replaced with another anti-vaccine crank. hard to see how dr. schwartz will manage to perform her duties under rfk jr., like what happened with dr. monarez. we might be back here soon...

Not that I expect him to know this, but a blockade is an act of war

President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. Navy would "immediately" begin a blockade to stop ships from entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, after historic U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement or next diplomatic steps in sight. https://to.pbs.org/4tHJlSX

"COVID-19 has been the leading cause of acute respiratory infection mortality across the majority of 2020–2025" #COVID19Australia #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

April 10th Update: Both NWSS and WWScan data sets suggest the lowest transmission levels in more than 4 years. BA.3.2 (Cicada) modestly impacting primarily the under 18 group. Estimates: 🔸118,000 new infections/day 🔸~1 in 550 currently reasonably infectious (5 day window)

It's absolutely nuts that the CDC still has BA.3.2 (Cicada) under 1%, buried in the "All Other" category. This was modeled all the way to mid April. ➡️ The reality is BA.3.2 was likely ~10% over 4 weeks and is ~20% today in the US... 2000% higher than what they modeled.

Beginning in 2034, Social Security’s trust funds face a projected shortfall of 19 percent, according to the latest Trustees’ Report. Under the law, unless Congress acts, benefits must be cut by that amount.

We all have a right to medical privacy. If federal health insurance companies send medical records & details of diagnoses, tests, prescriptions & so forth to the federal gov’t - our employer! - it could be used to discriminate in retention & promotion. Or worse.

Another ICE shooting! As always, we don't have all the facts in. We do have a dashcam, though. DHS claims, as it has during multiple prior shootings (claims at times proven false), that the person who was shot tried to "weaponize" his vehicle. See for yourself (there are no visuals of the victim).

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

Hundreds of special ops. Multi-day presence. Equipment destroyed on the ground. Tell me another rescue operation that looked like that. I'll wait.

The rescue was real. It was also not the entire story. Those two things can be true at the same time. In situations like this…they usually are. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

this article is not a fluff piece on famous people. this article is about excess mortality rates since COVID began. READ IT. and wear your mask because the Cicada variant doesn’t care if when or how your previous exposure to covid happened.

This is a phenomenally well-researched and honest—which is tragically rare—piece on the true harms of COVID. Thank you! bsky.app/profile/gayf...

One thing ICE keeps proving over and over again is how there must not be any undocumented immigrants who pose any threat whatsoever. Obviously if there were any such people, ICE would be going after them, not this college student who has been here since she was a toddler and has no criminal record.

Under a new *secret* DHS policy, ICE agents are being trained to enter homes with only an administrative form. Essentially DHS giving *itself* permission to seize evidence or arrest people without outside approval. The NYT covered our suit challenging DHS, read it here: https://protdem.org/4bPLKFg
