That news article of racist folks in the UK thinking immigration has gone up even when it’s dramatically down reminds me of those surveys in the US showing some white folks thinking the country is 50 percent Black. White supremacy isn’t logical. It’s built on imagination and violence.

Another thing, when JD Vance and Stephen Miller are the folks you lean on for charisma and to speak to the people, you’re going to lose. Both of them have a personality that only sandpaper enthusiasts would enjoy.

Vermont, like much of the U.S., lacks affordable dental care. On Tuesday, I visited the future home of Detroit Mercy’s new dental clinic in Colchester. When students arrive in 2027, this facility will help tackle our dentist shortage & become the largest dental facility in VT.

They are still essential heroes in my eyes. Thank you to our healthcare workers!

The American people know that our current health care system is broken and extremely expensive. They understand that health care is a human right. A recent poll shows that 6 in 10 back Medicare for All. Let’s do it.

The US would immediately tank if it became this white ass country the administration strives for. It would decline culturally, economically, and in influence. Good luck, chuckle heads.

The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates. Take Nepal: Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal. Five years ago, that number was essentially zero.

We have not seen this level of unemployment since the end of the pandemic. Trumponomics: putting Americans last

"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into “overshoot” within the next few years. The world is going to become more turbulent and more dangerous. So, what comes after failure?" Some thoughts from Johan Rockstrom & me 10 years after Paris Agreement. theconversation.com/the-world-lo...

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I am 75% of the way thru my reviews of abstracts for the 2026 PAS meeting and I am seeing some really good stuff! I hope some of this gets published - especially the Neonatal QI work #neosky

Trump is welcoming MBS, the Saudi crown prince, to the White House. This is the dictator who had a U.S. columnist murdered for criticizing the Saudi royal family. Sadly, we have a president who prefers the Saudi model — an autocracy run by a trillionaire family — to democracy.

Infant botulism as of 11/14: 23 cases, 8 newly identified. All consumed ByHeart baby formula, now recalled. Sadly ByHeart’s initial recall was limited to just 2 Lot numbers, this may have contributed to additional illnesses. TLDR: Stop using any ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula immediately!

Wonderful news from my local football team to help achieve the SDGs. Maybe they have some ideas for SDG 3.2?

If Trump thinks he will get people to "rally round the flag" by invading Venezuela, he should think again The killings of Venezuelan citizens is deeply unpopular and certainly illegal, not to mention immoral

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Trump's approval is underwater in all but 10 states Even GOP strongholds like TX, FL, and SC disapprove Who knew that ordering a secret police force to kidnap people, withholding food from children, spiking inflation with tariffs, and causing insurance premiums to skyrocket would be so unpopular?

About 1 in 4 American adults got a covid vaccine shot during the 2024-25 virus season, a fraction health care experts warn could be smaller this year as millions wrestle with conflicting advice from the government and trusted medical orgs about the value of a shot. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Under new administration guidance, if you’re overweight or diabetic, you can be denied a visa to live in the U.S. all in the name of “protecting the taxpayer.” Newsflash: immigrants are not the problem. They’re the ones helping to build our economy and communities. 🇺🇸 www.npr.org/2025/11/12/n...

We have a housing crisis in the US In 1985, the median income was $23,620, and the median price of a home was $84,300 - 3.6 times the typical income In 2023, the median price of a home was $428,600 - 5.3 times the median income of $80,061 50-year mortgages are NOT the answer; we need more houses

It’s wild how many of the ICE/CBP detentions are turning out to be illegal — and yet in the US system, there are no consequences for the agents and no recourse for the victims.

Hey @adobe.com. I don't want to participate in "Supercharged collaboration" in Adobe Acrobat, nor do I want to have to close the pop-up window with every other interaction. And I still don't want AI summaries. How about a streamlined, clutter-free version of this highly useful tool?

ByHeart previously recalled two batches of formula after the disease was found in babies who consumed the product.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Absolutely correct

A little known, yet fun fact about the VON database, is that any NICU can participate, regardless of level. In fact, in Nightingale, our online reporting system, you can select to compare your data specifically to other Level II, III, or IV NICUs. bit.ly/3AXoNjm

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

One of the reasons you don’t vote for people that don’t respect you as a constituent is because they throw parties about being rich while watching their constituents on the brink of starvation. Vote for people that have at least some integrity.
