This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020. Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

On my drive back to New York from giving a book talk at Bowdoin College, I stopped briefly at Portsmouth, New Hampshire,where I stumbled on this remarkable history. A sharp reminder that slavery permeated the American experience,even where least expected. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...

Remember when Google's motto was "Don't be evil"? I do. That was a long time ago.

Google defaulting all Gmail users to a setting that enables Google to harvest all your emails into chatbot training is straight-up evil and invasive. www.huffpost.com/entry/opt-ou...

To me, the biggest tell that AI is massively overvalued is that Big Tech has to keep shoving it in our faces. I just noticed Chrome has a 'Gemini' button at the top of the browser, and I'm getting prompts all over the place, including Zoom, to 'try AI.'

This is so cool! Science cheers me up these days www.newscientist.com/article/2498...

In addition to this, I strongly encourage anyone who has been denied a claim to: 1) demand, on the phone and in writing, ther the name, license number, and specialty status of the physician who approved the denial be sent to you in writing. I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, but....

But you shouldn't be too surprised when they say stuff like this: "You were better off being a Black person in Charleston, S.C., in 1850, when they had an operating slave market than being conceived as a Black baby in New York City or Baltimore today."

This wildly illegal action is also a betrayal that will, almost certainly, kill someone you love.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

It is difficult for me to express how disastrous this is.

RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

If I contrast and compare the 27 grievances against King George III charged in the Declaration of Independence and the actions of today’s president, does the Declaration of Independence suggest an extraordinary precedent for our response to the actions of the President?

States report shit to the CDC and the CDC synthesizes that into a heads-up report. Firing a good chunk of the staff who put that together is essentially blinding the country on public health. Trump has hated it since 2020 because they published stuff (the truth) contrary to what he was saying

For some context the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in addition to being just a good read, to quote wikipedia, "is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. "

I actually read MMWR consistently for about a year (I worked with the CDC on COVID data for a while) and it is essential public health infrastructure. If you wanted to know what scientists were saying, even as a layperson you could read it & get a solid picture of what was happening.

This rare but terrifying condition progresses rapidly, causes brain swelling, and can quickly lead to coma and death. We're going to increasingly be relying on medical providers, counties & states to help us understand what's happening, as CDC seems to be in the dark/unable to investigate normally.

We appear to be seeing an uptick of devastating flu-associated Acute Necrotizing Encephalitis in children this season. We've had reports here in No. Cal. Others out of Boston. We're piecemealing things together because there's no active surveillance for ANE, and CDC can't communicate with partners.

There's a school of thought which suggests that the only way to disable the fascist movement is to stop shielding MAGA voters from the consequences of their actions. Well, now that the GOP administration is disabling disease surveillance, response, and even basic research, there's no shield. 1/ 🧵

All of the enemies of democracy, the open society, and the United States of America benefit from the ongoing dismantling of the system which create American wealth, power, and influence. The core of MAGA and Project 2025 is an end-times Christian Nationalist movement. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/arbi...

Some backstory from Wikipedia:

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

Pre-Obama they pretended that tax breaks would lead to private philanthropy picking up the slack

latinum.substack.com/p/the-buried... Most of the library of Julius Caesar's father-in-law is still buried in Herculaneum, near Pompeii. It probably contains manuscripts that have not survived anywhere else. Yet it's not being excavated.

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

“AI literacy” = understanding the powerful monied interests pushing it down our throats & why, understanding how it feeds on stolen human-produced content, how it’s designed to addict us, how it robs us of aspects of our humanity & harms the planet, why it does not belong in educational settings…
