Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

I still think it's meaningful that we saw Liam in him. Every Liam deserves to have a chance to pursue his dreams.

Almost a year ago @joshtpm.bsky.social posted: “The situation at NIH and for biomedical research in the US is MUCH MUCH WORSE than you realize.” I can confirm that this remains true. It is today MUCH MUCH WORSE than the way everyone is acting in public.

I was shocked to see this statement from a group of representatives from the American scientific establishment... 1/2

An inquiring student leads researchers to discover they've unknowingly held on to the world's oldest ribbon worm. This is the Story of B: www.scientificamerican.com/article/meet...

I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.

Very similar to Podcast Jay at NIH. Trump and Bhattacharya keep repeating the deranged old playbooks on Big Lies because that’s what got them here: lies and division at a particular moment in history. They don’t actually have a positive vision on anything.

there are a range of reasons for that. but the shuttering of US Aid by a Nazi for very obviously racist reasons is arguably the worst atrocity perpetrated by a single president in terms of people killed in US history.

The first day Jay Bhattacharya was at NIH he gave an interview to Bari Weiss.

The fact that we even need to have this conversation is just utterly bananas

Agree with all of this. For 99.9% of people right now, and that includes almost all people actively working to fight this regime, Signal is the best choice.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Vinay Prasad openly campaigned for the people behind this and is part of this administration. youtu.be/PBr9hkIm0mg?...

Incredible stuff. Our NIH director is still having Twitter battles about 2020. He still selling a fantasy of us how he “would have” perfectly handled Covid ignoring how he is actually handling measles.

Immigration officers in Minneapolis are now using a weapon that’s unfamiliar to many protesters: grenades that spew a noxious green gas. These grenades contain worrisome chemicals.

Cosign, Bill Kristol.

Soooo I just got an email about how RFK Jr’s crackpot antivax organization Children’s Health Defense is suing the American Academy of Pediatrics under RICO cc @kenwhite.bsky.social Those mobster pediatricians, you know.

I continue to be, let's say 'annoyed,' at nat'l coverage that posits "Americans" are reacting w/ passivity. Most leaders may be, but I spend every day talking to ordinary people taking extraordinary steps to protect their families, communities and countries. National media just missing the story.

“… to withdraw my application. [The video on Twitter] made me fully realize that I cannot imagine working for NIH leadership that has so little respect for facts, the NIH, and its staff, and let me add, themselves.” "Thank you for your attention to this matter.“ 😂😂😂 good stuff!

The Supreme Court’s 2024 decision to grant presidents “absolute immunity” to criminal prosecution for “official acts”—a concept with no textual basis whatsoever in the Constitution—means that Trump can abuse his authority over the executive branch with impunity. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Thread: Jay Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. censoring science and setting back American brain disease cures banning NIH travel to the ACNP meeting. 🧪

Got a message: "all NIH scientists were banned from attending the ACNP meeting, perhaps due to ACNP's diversity and LGBTQ+ policies. Could be a hundred people." Anyone know more?

If anyone out there is keeping track (weekly, national level) of vaccine preventable disease deaths, could you please yell in my direction. Since Congress wants to tell us that we "haven't hit a critical threshold of deaths" regarding RFK Jr. we want to send that number around to all the offices.

Practices are canceling drive through clinics - making it harder for people to get vaccines they want to get - because of the confusion HHS created. More people will die from or be harmed by flu because of it. via @wuft.org @robsteinnews.bsky.social www.wuft.org/2026-01-12/f...

The HHS is now claiming that Africa CDC is conducting "a public-relations campaign," offering no evidence for this claim. Yet I have a letter from a senior official in Guinea-Bissau saying it's been cancelled, and I've confirmed this with several other sources. Wonder who's doing the PR campaign.

I took infant CPR training yesterday where we pictured a lot of horrible situations but none of them were this bad

Setting aside *everything* else (including my seething contempt for the US health insurance industry) for a moment. It's *so* nice to be able to go to the bench with a couple of trainees and figure out how to make an experimental method that they've been struggling with for weeks work as it should.

How I'm dealing with my stress: I bought a 3d printer and am producing 100 whistles at a time. 1000 heading to Minneapolis tomorrow.

We can prevent any future pandemic with nutritious food, herd immunity, and better locks on lab doors.

Change a few words and he could be talking about any agency… the lawlessness is that widespread.

If we back off now, they’ll surely win. But if we fight twice as hard, they might not. This is the time for harmless-looking white ladies to step up our game. We need to get louder and angrier. We need to wield what’s left of our privilege to defend our neighbors. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Disgusting. Complete with a glamour photo. Every public health organization and institution — including MIT — should be saying this piece is trash and Alina Chan is and was wrong. @bostonmagazine.bsky.social shame

This is wrong: “Science is doing OK,” Ms. Zimmermann, of @aaas.org, said. “Things are not bad at all, given our expectations.” No. I might guess that this quote was taken out of context, meant to be solely about the budgeting process. Because the agencies are still being corrupted internally.

This post from @dereklowe.bsky.social speaks to my heart. “Despair is a sin. And I’m not going to let this convicted felon and adjudicated sexual predator, this incompetent would-be-authoritarian disgrace of a human being run me out of my own country.”

Fixed it

Podcast Jay strikes again

"Dr. Jay Bhattacharya Brings Humility to the NIH" www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHSs... This brings to mind a quote attributed to Winston Churchill although it was not original to him. "He is a modest man who has a great deal to be modest about."

Are you fucking kidding me. In 2026, I will not be suffering a SINGLE FOOL who tries to say this administration’s attack on science and public health has some good will under the hood. This is directly meant to dismantle vaccination as an intervention.

At a time when he’s caused healthcare & other costs to skyrocket here at home, Trump bailed out Argentina & wants to "run" Venezuela, including if necessary, w/ US boots on the ground. All he cares abt is enriching himself, big bankers, oil CEOs & the rest of his billionaire pals.

Here’s that speech from Raskin. Everyone should watch it. And especially every scientist should watch it, given the posture of the Roberts Court on administrative law principles that create the foundation on which #NIH and NSF are built. @altnih4science.bsky.social

He’s a deeply self-conscious, one trick pony of a man who is desperately trying to stay relevant as he has landed in a position of power far greater than he could have imagined being in AND that is far above his skill set. He’s trying to play both sides bc he wants power AND to be taken seriously.

Helene was so giving to others about her battle, and went through to make it into maybe the top 1% of survivors of pancreatic cancer, before succumbing Dec 19, 2025 all while losing her father to it. She supported @letswinpc.org and the family asks for you to consider supporting them as well.💔

This is also the Jay Bhattacharya and Vinay Prasad story. While many scientists and doctors today do feel responsibility to their profession and to the public, some self-promoter contrarians who worship power have been elevated to the upper echelons of science. 1/

This is a lie. Tillis supported RFK Jr because Tillis didn’t have the courage to buck Trump. He capitulated to Republican party pressure because he’s a coward and a follower and he selfishly put himself above the country. It’s that simple.

This is illegal - directly violating the law - and every available civil and criminal law should be brought to bear on the people participating in this change.

Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-23465.pdf
