“Deadly diseases don’t bother with borders; no wall will keep them out. If America stays the course, 'Something went wrong' will become the epitaph of a great country, one that once led the world in global health preparedness,” Craig Spencer writes:

The Oval Office meeting today between Trump and Zelensky “reeked of a planned attack,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.” theatln.tc/5tozgdyn

An important time to be critical and to speak up in these days of upheaval, disruption and chaos. Proud to stand alongside @angelahuttner.bsky.social and this message @cmicomms.bsky.social 🌈

Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” has won a Grammy for Album of the Year. The album, @skornhaber.bsky.social wrote in April, might be the most American story of all—about survival through reinvention:

The Grammys: actually fairly watchable this time! www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

“Elon Musk’s influence appears unchecked,” @jonlemire.bsky.social writes. “But the Republican-controlled Congress has shown no desire so far to rein Musk in. There has never been a private citizen like him.”

Data on the CDC's website are being removed to comply with the Trump administration’s ongoing attempt to scrub federal agencies of any mention of gender, DEI, and accessibility, Katherine J. Wu reports:

🚨 If you think this administration isn't attacking science & vaccines, think again. They’ve now scrubbed all ACIP slides. First, they erase the data. Then, manipulate it to fit their narrative—this time, undermining vaccine safety. We’ve seen this playbook before. #ScienceMatters #VaccinesSaveLives

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com. Among the data being scrubbed is “the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…” www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

It's amazing how controversial this thesis seemed in 2008, and how plainly true it seems today www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

We’re all living in his Kafkaesque world, but remember that these tactics are deployed first against the most vulnerable, including refugees, migrants, and prisoners, from domestic prisons to Guantanamo, as well as those subject to war and genocide in the name of freedom and democracy.

Can other nations please boycott the USA? We really need it

So much Bluesky in #Lungern today! ☀️ 💫 Made it to the ridge and saw a sea of clouds over #Brienzersee. I love these kind of days 😌 #getoutside #sunshine #snowshoeing #winterhiking #hiking #recharging 🔋 #switzerland

#Weihnachtsmarkt in #Basel #Switzerland on #Samichlaustag. Xmas Markets in Basel were more cozy and charming than what I have experienced in Zurich. One setback, they close pretty early- 8:30 pm! When you’re here tho, the #chäsbängel is a must! Good night Bluesky 🦋🌙 #TGIF #foodie #travel #christmas

Christmas market season commences in #Zurich #Switzerland! #weihnachtsmarkt #christmasmarket

First fall of snow ❄️ ✨ It’s giving All Too Well (10 min version) 🎵 📍 Zürich, Switzerland 🇨🇭 Stay safe out there! 🌙 #travel #winter #snow #idyllic

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ Just witnessed the cutest thing in #Basel by happenchance. The #Basellandtransport or BLT is celebrating 50 years of service w/ surprise rides on the Bar Lounge Tram. I hopped on & wasn’t turned away. Instead I was offered #Gipfeli 🥐 & coffee for free! #joy #switzerland 👏🏼

Hello Bluesky 🥾 Sending y’all a digital postcard from the 5 Lakes Hike near #Pizol I did back in Oct 2022. I remember taking a spontaneous personal day bc the weather was too good to pass up. And boy, was it worth it! Say no to #burnout and yes to your #mentalhealth! #hiking #Switzerland #nature

Good morning Bluesky! 🍂 🥾 Best cure for a foggy headspace: get outdoors! This #hike up to #Leistchamm is as humbling as the view over #Walensee is beautiful. Best part is by the time you reach the top, the fog is burned off 🔥 literally & figuratively 😌 #freshair #nature #Switzerland #newheights

Reminiscing my first trip to South Korea 🇰🇷 last month 🍂. My K-wave consumption from my screen was suddenly at my feet & I was living it. What a beautiful, complex, haunting & vibrant place full of juxtapositions. So much left to discover & experience. Until next time 🫰🏼
