​“‘Leadership won’t matter,’ he said. ​‘What will really matter and make a difference is a response from the ground up.’ That is, for the citizens of this country to rise up and defend democracy…We won’t be saved by leaders, but by ourselves”

Also worth noting Biden’s DoJ had brought a suit against Idaho for violating EMTALA (by banning abortions even in emergencies). The Tr*mp regime has dropped the case, so pregnant people in Idaho can continue to be die from being denied life-saving abortions

This is one of my favorite graphics to use in demonstrating vaccine effectiveness against measles. There’s a tendency to think that our local situation is different (better) than elsewhere so that maybe vaccines aren’t as helpful.

From @wsj.com, RFK Jr./DOGE are planning to cut 10,000 technical & scientific experts from HHS on top of the 10,000 who have left amid the Trump administration's efforts to silence experts, shroud these agencies in further secrecy, & promote disinformation. 3500 or 19% of FDA will be fired. #MedSky

Get ready for more censorship, less dissent, less intellectual freedom, less funding for research in all areas, more prematurely ended careers, less biosafety, less health security, less preparedness, fewer vaccines, fewer jobs, & more dead people. thehill.com/policy/healt...

HUD's work profoundly affects people’s lives: HUD backs loans for homes, apartments, and nursing homes, helps seniors and people with disabilities on fixed incomes stay in their homes, finances new affordable buildings, helps prevent discrimination, and more. www.startribune.com/cuts-to-hud-...

The Trump administration has cut off federal funding to nonprofits that are key enforcers of anti-discrimination laws. Last year there were more than 34,000 fair-housing complaints, a record high for the third year in a row. @jenniferludden.bsky.social @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/03/15/n...

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
