I would love to be added when you get a chance! Thanks for curating these resources!

Sent you an email!

This goes out to all the people who won’t shut up about optimism and what a great opportunity this is to “fix” science by gutting the training pipeline and eliminating peer review

Congrats Yuni! Hard earned and well deserved!

Word of the donut model has spread far and wide!

That over budget line is equivalent to 400 5-year biomedical research grants.

More to go, but this is a good start. Hopefully the court order is obeyed!

A meme template from the old TV show Rugrats. This scene was originally when Stu Pickles was making chocolate pudding for Angelica at 4:30 AM. Top panel text: It's 1:30 AM! Why on earth are you chasing around bugs? Bottom panel text: The destruction of the NIH has made me lose control of my life.

I just spent 15 minutes engaged in mortal battle with a cricket at 1:30 AM. Little shit jumped everywhere, including inside of my shoes and clothes.

Polling data from Harris & Associates 1966. Q: Do you approve of what Freedom Riders are Doing? 22% approve 61%disapprove18%no opinion.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Apparently there’s no money for life saving science, but there’s money for a parade.

Well deserved and hard earned. Congrats!

No more detailed reporting. No more preventative health. No more research. No more accessibility.

You want to argue eugenics, that’s fucking eugenics.

Everyone…

It doesn’t just stop at ACIP. The strategy is not just approvals but will eventually filter down to how your provider will be able to operate

Every single one of RFK and companies goals is to completely incapacitate the current medical institution and keep everyone in the dark

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do.

So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Anyways I double checked to make sure this was accurate and the account links to his blog and describes a Rush and UCLA trained EM physician so it appears to be genuine.

It also means I did more fact checking than those fuckers at Alt CDC and Alt NPS.

ProPublica heard from more than 150 researchers to understand the work that’s been lost.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Community members are gathering at the Spokane ICE office to protest the detainment of a 21-year-old Venezuelan man seeking asylum on Wednesday afternoon. Former Spokane City Councilman Ben Stuckart wrote a call to action on Facebook, asking for support in protesting the detainment of the man, whom Stuckart became the legal guardian of 3 weeks ago

Stuckart said on Facebook that the 21-year-old has filed paperwork to seek asylum and was headed to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office for a check-in when the man and his friend, who is also from Venezuela, were detained. A group of people was blocking the truck supposedly meant to take the men to the ICE processing facility in Tacoma, and cars are parked behind and in front of the truck. "It's immoral, what's happening right now in our society," said a protester. "I just thought I'd sit in front of the bus and make sure that I can do everything I possibly can to not let my friend leave."

just so it’s clear why spokane is protesting and what triggered this in the first place, so it won’t get lost www.krem.com/article/news...

NYC, please don't fuck this up... Over the past week I have received so many Cuomo fliers disparaging Zohran so it's clear the momentum is in his favor. Please make the correct choice. DO NOT RANK CUOMO.

If they're willing to give it without titers then great! Some docs get pedantic and want to see the titers first. I usually tell folks to get titers if they aren't sure about their childhood vax history.

MMR is live attenuated, so risk may change for immunocompromised and warrant a titer check too.

BEGGING LIBERALS TO READ THIS

Another reason to go get your vaccines/boosters ASAP. Get your titers drawn if you need to. This list is the worst of the worst. No new vaccines seems likely, and we'll see how many of the ones we have get revoked.

If we get H5N1, we're cooked. BAD.

The attacks on the civilian population of LA are becoming more violent and more overtly authoritarian, and brutal. These are the tactics of a paramilitary terror force nothing else.

These are rightwing death squads in the making.

America is under attack by fascist governmental forces

I’ll probably never really get over people on the “left” attacking me for warning that Jay Bhattacharya was just a right-wing operative who wanted people back to work for the economy.

Dude was a favorite with business-aligned right-wing dark money groups, but I was the sellout.

Well, now look…

A backpack with a small amount of white powdered pepperball residue on it

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation.

Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/

Soldiers are being used as a right-wing political prop, and these 20-year-old boys seem eager to play the part. No one should have any faith that the US military will not do horrible things to the US public when asked or even simply given the chance by Trump and his associates.

cop john pike pepper spraying a peaceful pile of subdued students at uc davis during the occupy protests in 2011

this is going around as people finger wag about optics and peaceful protests

and i just want to note that the cop here - john pike - received retirement, 8mos of suspended leave pay, and $38k for the pain and suffering of macing kids

the students received $6k-30k, most at the lower end
