The U.S. has murdered at least 211 people off the coast of Venezuela allegedly to address the fentanyl crisis, but these murders have had zero impact on the fentanyl crisis. Why? Because Venezuela plays virtually no role in making or trafficking fentanyl.

This is an extraordinarily powerful, deeply upsetting editorial that documents all of the *deliberate harms* that RFK Jr has inflicted on children in the US 🤬 “You can measure a society by what it promises a newborn it will never meet. We are taking the promise back, one program at a time” 😢

A document from the Department of Homeland Security outlines plans to issue local police facial recognition technology used by federal immigration agents, a move that will expand the scope of ICE surveillance.

Congrats to my colleagues for this interesting analysis. Looking at patients who met DOTS criteria and receive dalbavancin in our hospital, they differ from the DOTS trial Younger, more IDU, more R-sided IE (less SSTI), and more persistent bacteremia. Yet, outcomes similar #IDSky

Idaho health officials are investigating how nearly 60 people got sick after drinking raw milk in the past two weeks. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says they didn't name two dairies potentially linked to the outbreak “because this is a potential risk for any raw milk producer.”

While mass arrests were being made last night outside of Delaney Hall, the courageous people imprisoned inside continue their strike. The problem isn’t just with Delaney. The entire US concentration camp system is rife with abuse, neglect, and loss of life. They should ALL be shut down immediately.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news
