For my N. Hemisphere friends:
This weekend would be an absolutely brilliant time to get your flu and covid shots. You will get a massive protective antibody surge right as holiday socializing is ramping up flu and covid activity.
15 minutes at the pharmacy could save you a week of misery.

reminder David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel both went on the record to Politico to say they were fine with this, either knowing the result would be mass death of children or being too dumb to know. Decide for yourself whatβs worse!

Independent of what PAHO ends up deciding, we donβt deserve elimination status given the state of things. Still, progress is rarely monotonic. Measles can be eliminated if we decide itβs worth eliminating.

Staked line plot showing the estimated number of SNAP participants in each state who are supposed to receive SNAP benefits on each day in November. A red line indicates today's date. The graphic shows how states issue SNAP on different days, making the cumulative scale of the problem difficult to see until later in the month.
Update: today, 16.8 million people should have *full* SNAP benefits for November. They don't.
Most states don't issue SNAP all at once. Some distribute SNAP up to the 28th day.
This masks the scale of the problem: 42 million worrying about hunger in the richest country on earth.

The Full Transcript of Zohran Mamdaniβs Victory Speech
Reading Mamdani's victory speech and... it's really good. Obama-level good. Maybe better.
I mean: "As has so often occurred, the billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30 an hour that their enemies are those earning $20 an hour."

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.

I talked about this with my students. I think that basically very few people in NYC had latent attitudes on free buses but Mamdani puts it on the agenda, links it to other things people care about and makes it an issue. Candidates can shape opinion (which is why popularism makes me nuts)
