This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

if you wouldn’t let random weirdos from the comments section make healthcare decisions for your child, then you shouldn’t be okay with what’s happening here

what can i say? i’m good at what i do

The current ACIP is not a credible committee. It pains me to say this, but do NOT listen to them for guidance on vaccines. I am an infectious disease doc and will be roundly ignoring their misinformed and anti-scientific guidelines. Yesterday's spectacle was an insult to vaccinology and science.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

shoutout to tumblr user kleinergeist for this post which is going straight into my powerpoint for Grendel day in my monster class this week

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Judith Butler: “We have a right to know the charges against us, to know who has made the charges and to review them and defend ourselves...But none of that has happened, which is why we’re in Kafka-land…It is an enormous breach of trust.” Isn't Butler working on a book on Kafka right now?

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

Please allow me to interrupt your doomscrolling to report: Kitten’s Halloween costume wings fit perfectly 🐈‍⬛🦇🎃

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.

As soon as he realized he couldn’t use it to start a war — “………. Anyway, I stole a bunch of poor kids’ lunch money to build myself a ballroom.”

Gonna be real here, publishing something like this without seeing it recorded in written record or court document after the shooter’s arrest is wildly irresponsible in this current climate Especially after the FBI’s chaotic goose chase produced two people who weren’t the shooter yesterday

Publicly condemning specific interpersonal acts of political violence is often a tool for normalizing and promoting ongoing acts of mass political violence like stripping people of Medicaid, destroying public health systems, police-state violence against immigrants and gender minorities, etc.

This feels like an important reminder today.

stuff like this makes me want to sob with joy. good for them 💗

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

It’s September. Pollen counts are low. If you’re feeling sick, there’s a good chance it’s Covid. Not “allergies”. Not a “cold”. Wear a mask. Take a test. Stay home if it’s at all possible. Rest. There’s evidence to suggest that resting in the acute phase can reduce your risk of Long Covid.

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

Masked ICE agents pulled back from a raid in Rochester, N.Y. on Tuesday as about 100 protesters crowded the street outside the location shouting “shame” and “Gestapo." www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

This. 👇👇👇 JB Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?”

The CDC oversees larger-scale operations that cannot simply be handed off to states or individual organizations. Public health responses must be coordinated at the national level in order to be effective, since health risks are shared across state borders. theconversation.com/kennedy-hear...

Paving over the people’s Rose Garden and serving steak and cake to rich donors on the people’s dime while stealing food from the poor and healthcare from us all — FFS enough!

So much efficiency!

“We’re not doing polio shots anymore. But you do have iron lung coverage.” This seems to be RFKJ’s vision for public health in the United States. Cartoon by @dennisgoris.bsky.social

I completely agree. Throw in low covid vaccine and flu vaccine rates given the ongoing misinformation and access barriers from the top, the threat of birdflu that never really went away and we are entering a very uncertain respiratory virus season in the US.

Today's healthcare is the result of policy, we can change that.

lol my new favorite in-class example for Causality and DAGs day lecture just dropped 😆 #AcademicChatter #statistics

And now, for some truly terrible spoken word poetry … 🤦‍♀️

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money. But we do need your time. ⏰ zohranfornyc.com/events

U.S. veterans dragged out of Senate hearing for calling out genocide.

Excellent news! Welcome to the West Coast Health Alliance, Hawai’i!!!

No Kings Day in June: 5-6 million people 2,169 communities 27 countries The sequel is going to be even bigger.

Absolutely off the charts public health capacity on display here.

In under 24h following the newly identified outbreak of #Ebola in the DRC, the virus has been isolated, sequenced and the virus sequence data made publicly available. virological.org/t/the-16th-e...

How my brain read the headline — Somehow it fits. Of course “Florida Man” would do this. 🤦‍♀️😭

Thank you, Senator Cantwell, for standing up for science and life saving vaccines!! RFK Jr must go. @cantwell.senate.gov

"You're a charlatan. That's what you are." -- Cantwell to RFK Jr

I had whooping cough as a kid. It left me with permanent lung issues. If I hadn’t been vaccinated, I know it would have killed me. I owe my life since then—everything I’ve accomplished, enjoyed, experienced, and contributed, not to mention the lives of my own kids—to childhood vaccination.

This isn't abstract. Ending vaccine mandates will kill children. Any one who is trying to do this should be removed from office immediately.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

2. Disease outbreaks that rapidly spread globally due to Florida’s tourism industry and airport hubs. 3. Eventually, mutations arise that evade current vaccines. All thanks to MAHA and MAGA.
