A🧵 This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds. The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful. THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die. 1/n

Vaccines save lives. Vaccine-deniers are killers.

One of the best signs so far and those huddled masses that we're fighting for. No Kings

I was at the the No Kings march in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Many elderly or disabled folks who couldn’t make it to Manhattan, but also young families and people of all ages. I stood in the same spot for more than an hour and the stream of protesters was constant. Amazing turnout.

Here at the Portland #NoKings, the costumes are ON POINT.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

JD Vance wants to go after the Ford Foundation, eh? Interestingly, the Ford Foundation has long been in the crosshairs of the American far right for their supposed funding of "hateful, radical left, anti-white propaganda." Here's an example of that talk from the 1955 edition of The White Sentinel.

In the words of my colleague, the data supports evidence that vaccine saves lives. I believe this data. This data is accurate.

Today is Grandparents Day, and a new group, Grandparents for vaccines, has launched. Many grandparents have seen what vaccines can do, & suffered the infections that can now be prevented. They don't want us to go back to the age when measles & polio were rampant.

The age of enshittenment.

CDC to be Center for Disease

First RFK, Jr claimed thimerosal causes autism Then it was MRNA vaccines Now he argues if pregnant women take Tylenol, THAT could be the cause But here’s his own NIH director saying “we have no idea” of the etiology Kennedy already destroyed the CDC And unless he goes Things will get worse

Everyone’s using AI-powered notetakers - but no one’s talking about the risks. From legal exposure to client trust, that quiet little bot in your meeting could be creating big problems behind the scenes. https://bit.ly/3USbVBW

Okay, so Anthropic settles. The settlement is $1.5B for 500,000 authors. They just raised $13B to get them to a total valuation of $183B. As far as they're concerned, this settlement is a rounding error.

The "Mag 7" tech firms comprise 34% of the S&P 500, & we're expected to spend *$3 trillion* by 2028 on AI infrastructure. But large language models are hitting a wall. What if generative AI is delayed or even dead? Tech writer Bryan McMahon says the bubble popping will hurt all of us:

"Learning to use A.I." is a pretty easy thing but learning the actual skills involved in design requires actual effort. The moment you turn that over to the computer, you stop improving.

California is considering SB-524, a bill that would force transparency and more accountability for police using GenAI to write narrative police reports. The largest product doing this, Axon's DraftOne, is so nontransparent that unless they overhaul it, this bill would make it unlawful Day 1.

The full transcript of the "NGOs Gone Wild Hearing" a few hours ago with the DOGE oversight committee. I docs.google.com/document/d/1...

GOP claimed that COVID contact tracing was “government overreach.” They said that background checks violated freedom. They wanted to ban data collection about gun violence. But now they have hired Palantir to track us all. This is the machinery of a surveillance state, run by billionaires.

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

Just read the MAHA "report." To paraphrase a great cartoon cat: it’s like a pile of crap ate another pile of crap and then crapped out a third pile of crap. The report is that third pile.
