Durán on being banned on X.

“From agency chiefs like Marty Makary & Jay Bhattacharya to higher-ups like RFK Jr & Russell Vought, to low-level insiders like Matthew Memoli & Jon Lorsch at NIH, whose familiarity with the workings of their agency helped to bring it down from within, all of these men need to be held accountable”👏

1/3 Pollutants don't stay in the water. In San Diego, we showed they become a previously unrecognized source of air pollution. Once inhaled, toxic chemicals and airborne pathogens have been linked to cancer, heart attacks, and dementia. As water pollution rises globally, this is everyone's problem.

At our event at the library today, I passed out information about the fact that the Mayor's preliminary budget cuts our public library budget. Only 2 people were aware of this. Everyone was appalled. We need to increase public education about this fact. Folks promised to contact their council member

DMV people!

Yes!

the regime in the US is so deeply broken in so many ways; we do need to talk about the meaning of evil

This is Sinclair oppo research masquerading as investigative journalism. Like coverage we've seen for years on Sinclair TV, the Baltimore Sun is now being used for right wing political attacks. Hopefully the people of Maryland (& beyond) won't fall for it. www.semafor.com/article/04/0...

For #poetrymonth on burning a book, made vivid "Even then some charred erratum or index floats off through the trees, some ashen verse or black-edged stanza can still be riddled from layers of sludge after rain." from Simon Armitage, 'Bordered Sallow' from the collection New Cemetery

It's Poetry Month!
