If there was any doubt at all that the CDC is fully destroyed, this page on autism and vaccines on its website confirms it. It's now just another vessel of dangerous health misinformation. I have no words. This is beyond sad.

This is the type of person being picked up by my local collaborating sheriff’s dept - it all goes unnoticed except by followers of a mugshots page, a lot of them racists who come on to laugh. Nobody protests, nobody records. It just quietly happens.

If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

In the time it took me to read all your short, silly little posts here I could have read the complete works of Ayn Rand. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. My gratitude is deep and eternal.

Watching a Central American mom drop her little boys off about 5 blocks from school looking nervously ahead so she doesn’t have to get in the car line and risk God knows what

Thank you to Johns Hopkins for the discussion with author @jennieerinsmith.bsky.social tonight about her book on #alzheimers and the Colombian families who have been studied since the 1980s. #journalism #books (will archive be shared?) Book title - Valley of Forgetting. hub.jhu.edu/events/2025/...

The ongoing federal government shutdown is beginning to spur larger rent struggles and more food pantry visits among U.S. military members in Japan.

Languages are a bitch.

What you're seeing in Florida will be what hits the federal level in a year or two. Don't look away or write it off as Florida. This is THE blueprint. McCarthyism was good, actually, is the new historical story.

I'm not a fan of Petro, I think he's a blowhard, but he does seem to be the one leader in all Latin America taking anything resembling a stand against the US torturing and killing its poorest citizens for fun?

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

Because being cruel without any purpose is the Leitmotif of Trump 2.0.

"Supporters of eugenics, the powerful early 20th-century movement for improving human heredity, often attacked that era's dramatic improvements in public health and medicine for preserving the lives of people they considered hereditarily unfit" Am J Public Health. 1997 Nov;87(11):1767–1772.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

"What does a clinical trial, especially a very long-lasting one, in this case, literally for generations...what does it owe to its participants?" The question runs through the heart of @jennieerinsmith.bsky.social's book, Valley of Forgetting. Health Storytelling Q&A w/ @marynmck.bsky.social

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I inhabit a personal multiverse in which this woman does not exist

I think about this piece a lot

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?

latinos *did* report the same conditions

Just another Sunday in dystopia

Oh my

I am excited for this talk next week with @marynmck.bsky.social at @emorycshh.bsky.social !!! Please join us!!!

Damn this is good.

I just went to the public library to find a book. I'd forgotten how to use the Dewey Decimal system.

Florida wants us to stockpile more guns at taxpayer expense again

It is amazing that these people could have been so badly abused by the US and even more amazing that they lived to tell the tale.

The same Supreme Court that said it is unreasonable to consider race when giving kids access to education, has said it's reasonable to consider race when looking to remove someone from the country. Funny how that works.

Colombians with valid work permits, detained and abused. When are Latin American governments gonna retaliate? It would be easy to revoke American visas. There are tons of us living in Colombia. Tons in Mexico. I don’t want it to happen and spent years getting my residency, but still.

This is fascism. Never forget and never forgive the so-called “normie Republicans” who enabled this monster, fully aware of how dangerous he was, all for their own political and personal gain.

José María Tojiera, 1947-2025, fought for justice after six of his fellow Jesuits were murdered in their beds by US-backed Salvadoran forces in 1989. Then he helped broker the end of the war.
