As both an epidemiologist and a Black woman, I have said for years that the rise of fascism and the total dismantling of public trust in science and facts are inextricably linked. They want you dead. And removing your access to life-saving vaccines is part of that. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/white...

I didn’t think it was possible to increase my DSHEA rage and then this popped up in my feed

FUCK AI

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social We had a potluck at work featuring a giant word search and I contributed a fantastic Eel Facts advent calendar!

The only way this makes sense is when you understand health as a product sold to individuals. Once you turn health into a product and healthcare into a business, then you can blame individuals for not being able to afford their health(care) rather than look at the environment in which they live.

It’s a disgrace a bunch of racist, bigoted morons with absolutely no credentials and/or no accredited research experience who would be banned from a Reddit thread & LAUGHED out of a scientific conference are in charge of the CDC & gleefully killing kids & destroying DECADES of scientific advancement

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Donald Trump’s birthday will now be a free entry day at national parks while Martin Luther King Jr Day and Juneteenth will no longer be. Day 321 of racism and personal aggrandizement as government policy.

It’s been pointed out to me that clowns are seasoned professionals that work very hard on their shows and comparing the current ACIP to them is inappropriate.

Costco is suing the U.S. government and wants a full refund on all the tariffs it has paid, arguing that they’re illegal. I’m curious to see if this is where the Supreme Court finds their spine or if they decide King Trump can create arbitrary taxes whenever he has a bad day.

Just when I thought I'd seen it all........ endpoints.news/new-acip-cha....

Newspaper headlines when your country is run by a racist and criminal enterprise.

The #PedsICU community did a fantastic job raising concerns early about MIS-C early during the COVID epidemic. Trust me, it would have done the same if suddenly we had seen a lot of vaccine related complications, and wouldn’t have hesitated to advocate for intervention.

I have had multiple patients die because they caught #respiratory viruses from their unvaccinated #grandchildren and #greatgrandchildren. Prasad is going to kill both kids and likely a lot more older adults.

Over and over and over again the people who have observed RFK Jr.’s anti-vax propaganda for decades have said he will not stop until he takes away as many vaccines as he can. And the current U.S. government is aiding and abetting him.

It’s that simple. This is why we were shouting form the rooftops about the dangers of RFK Jr. being in charge of HHS. He will never, ever, admit he was wrong, nor will any of these other people. Policy-based evidence making.

My taxes are earmarked for the expressed purpose of starving children so some asshole can build a beachfront hotel for sexual predators but now I'm supposed to care about where my money is going.

I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.

Reminder of who the real threat was, and who the threat has never been. Maybe today should be a day of atonement.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Emmanuel walked away from his mom’s fruit stand to find a bathroom. She looked for him all over Houston, and after several hours, she filed a missing person’s report with Houston PD. Houston firefighters found him within 24 hours. But police turned him over to ICE, who held him captive for 48 days.

public health is pretty fucking cool if you ask me

MAHA is predicated on blaming patients exclusively for having chronic illnesses. It is not driven by outcomes, but by marketing. It is not focused on giving patients the tools to manage their chronic conditions—it's a supplement ad masquerading as healthcare.

Suck it, Debra Messing

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.

"The EO is designed to use multiple tools of federal coercion to make it impossible for states to regulate AI. But it’s actually much more expansive than that, potentially making it impossible for states to regulate much of anything business-related. " prospect.org/2025/11/20/b...

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

Wow! Epstein survivor Haley Robson just offered to hold Marjorie Taylor Greene’s hand if she decides to read the names on the floor. And a powerful message to Donald Trump: “I am traumatized. I am not stupid.” @rokhanna.bsky.social

"The message is not that Trump is innocent, it's that *everyone is guilty.* Everyone assaults women, cheats on their taxes, uses public office for private gain. Propriety and following the rules? That stuff is for suckers. In a world of grift and graft, the most corrupt man should be king."

Trump's long-awaited plan for Americans' healthcare is to replace the ACA with... nothing. That's right - you're on your own. Trump does not understand healthcare, insurance, or risk pools(nor does he want to)

The Epstein files are a hoax to distract us from what's really important: cheesy fiesta potatoes

In order to take into consideration both the Catholic League and MAGA's sensitive feelings about calling child rapists "pedophiles", I propose that we avoid technically using the term incorrectly by simply sticking to the factually correct term "child rapist". www.catholicleague.org/megyn-kelly-...

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social appears to be back.

Whoa!

This is the type of dad that was not involved in the daily labor of child rearing. The type of dad that does not go to his kid's doctor's appointments. The type of dad who does not know the name of his kid's kindergarten teacher. 👇

THIS is why all the tech oligarchs gathered at the Trump inauguration THIS is why they are willing to overlook fascism and cruelty THIS is why they donate to the GOP It's all about the money

Aurora Borealis in New England tonight.

Living in New Hampshire means not only do I get regular and ample reason to call and yell at my senators, I also myself get to receive messages from blue state friends asking me to call and yell at my senators In a way I am a proxy elected, against my will

if you want a vision of the future, imagine 3-month CRs with 40 day shutdowns, forever

Finally some good news. Kim Davis is a sack of crap.

The emerging deal will be that Democrats get fuck all and then go on thanksgiving break while 41.7 million people slip into food insecurity. Fucking hell

"What could possibly explain the male loneliness crisis???" —Asks guys who believe women ruined the workplace by problematic fact that they exist.

If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

that’s the bluesky difference ™

You only argue that kids should be exposed to this because you believe the children matter less than the tech

Absolutely this! 👇

I hope he lived long enough to change his mind on some topics. If nothing else, his life showed that even the deepest legacies of science & discovery do not overcome personal accountability in word and deed.
