Means isn’t merely unqualified in the way everyone in this admin is unqualified - inexperienced, deranged zealot and/or grifter. She’s unqualified in the Lindsey Halligan way - by legal statute. Actually, Halligan was more qualified if she has an active law license.

That really stuck out. I’m not sure if they meant it this way but it sounded like trying to reassure other parents that the consequences of disease aren’t that bad.

And docs stuck in the middle - trying to show parents we’re open, empathetic, trustworthy, not rushed despite (gestures vaguely), while employing every evidence-based vaccine comms strategy we know, but the clock is ticking and our HR is climbing because this is the image in our head of the stakes.

Black Swan. I don’t even remember why but I can still feel the anger.

In case this very obvious fact that only recently occurred to me is helpful to anyone: aprons are bibs

Nearly every ad break has included at least one commercial designed to make a primary care doctor’s head explode. Good thing for the half time show and sad patriots.

Guess this is the NFL version of the MAHA mirror world, where the EM radiation on the field (not even on the plane ride there) is the health threat warranting study. In the real world, the job on the field is to traumatize brains and bodies while wearing possibly, marginally better helmets.

Martinez ends her testimony with this:

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

When anyone ever tries to say that billionaires should fund science (or anything meant for the public good), let’s remember Epstein et al and their β€œproposal” for female behavior-modifying STIs.

So far, it seems Chomsky’s the only one who describes their depraved ideas in complete sentences.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

Per the PSVS summary β€œthe findings in this survey are not directly comparable to past FEVS results. However, they point to lower levels of trust in leadership within CBP and ICE.” Smaller sample size, possibly also some self-selection bias -people w morals more likely to respond to voice discontent?

Woah. Wonder if there’ll be an eventual Trump pardon for his former tower resident.

No snow, cold, or ICE will stop our movement!

We will MELT ICE, dismantle DHS, and protect our neighbors.
