Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”

I still think it's meaningful that we saw Liam in him. Every Liam deserves to have a chance to pursue his dreams.

Almost a year ago @joshtpm.bsky.social posted: “The situation at NIH and for biomedical research in the US is MUCH MUCH WORSE than you realize.”

I can confirm that this remains true. It is today MUCH MUCH WORSE than the way everyone is acting in public.

A statement from the "Science and Technology Action Committee" thanking President Trump for signing the appropriations bill that includes funding for the NIH.

I was shocked to see this statement from a group of representatives from the American scientific establishment...

Meet ‘Baseodiscus the Eldest,’ a record-setting worm more than 27 years old Ribbon worms can grow to enormous lengths, and one named Baseodiscus the Eldest is showing how little we know about them—including how long they live

An inquiring student leads researchers to discover they've unknowingly held on to the world's oldest ribbon worm. This is the Story of B:

I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.

Their vision: corruption, destruction.

But the public hates that, so they have to lie about it.

Just as @joho.bsky.social has been saying for years now

Very similar to Podcast Jay at NIH.

Trump and Bhattacharya keep repeating the deranged old playbooks on Big Lies because that’s what got them here: lies and division at a particular moment in history.

They don’t actually have a positive vision on anything.

there are a range of reasons for that. but the shuttering of US Aid by a Nazi for very obviously racist reasons is arguably the worst atrocity perpetrated by a single president in terms of people killed in US history.

Ms Cancel Culture pulls together MAHA, science misinformation, weaponized Israeli rightism, Hoover, tech and Republican cash.

The first day Jay Bhattacharya was at NIH he gave an interview to Bari Weiss.

The fact that we even need to have this conversation is just utterly bananas

follow good digital security recommendations from trusted sources but do not believe you will be able to keep your comms entirely 100% from the Trump people unless you’re a trained spy

We win by being more numerous and more virtuous

Signal is the best choice because you are not a cryptographer or digital security expert, you do not need to be, and Signal handles the whole system/stack as best as we know how. It just works.

Agree with all of this.

For 99.9% of people right now, and that includes almost all people actively working to fight this regime, Signal is the best choice.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Vinay Prasad openly campaigned for the people behind this and is part of this administration.

… Potomac, Newton, Winnetka, Merion

Incredible stuff.

Our NIH director is still having Twitter battles about 2020.

He still selling a fantasy of us how he “would have” perfectly handled Covid ignoring how he is actually handling measles.

What's the deal with that scary-looking green gas ICE is using in Minneapolis? There are toxic ingredients in all of this stuff, but looks may be deceiving.

Immigration officers in Minneapolis are now using a weapon that’s unfamiliar to many protesters: grenades that spew a noxious green gas.

These grenades contain worrisome chemicals.

Cosign, Bill Kristol.

BREAKING: We sued the AAP today. Here's why. Dear No, Earlier today, Children's Health Defense filed a major lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Here's what you need to know: • AAP has been profiting from the vaccine cabal since the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 • AAP has forcefully and intentionally spread the lie that vaccines have been fully tested and proven safe — through its journal Pediatrics and its Red Book policy statements • AAP has concealed material facts about the lack of testing and inadequacies in vaccine safety monitoring and financial incentives tied to vaccine schedule compliance

‹ 16 BREAKING: We sue... ^ V decades of fraudulent health risk denials We're suing the AAP to shut down a decades-long scheme to defraud pediatricians and American families about the safety of the childhood vaccination schedule. Our co-plaintiffs include: • The families of three children who were killed by childhood vaccines • A child whose valid medical exemption was rejected by administrators who followed AAP guidance • Two physicians who lost their licenses to practice because they offered medical advice that contradicted AAP guidance For decades, the AAP has spread disinformation — including the unfounded claim that vaccines are "safe and effective." Those fraudulent claims resulted in the injuries and deaths of countless children. They also ruined the livelihoods of honest pediatricians. This is what challenging disinformation at the source looks like. This is what exposing the perverse incentives behind medical judgment looks like

Soooo I just got an email about how RFK Jr’s crackpot antivax organization Children’s Health Defense is suing the American Academy of Pediatrics under RICO cc @kenwhite.bsky.social

Those mobster pediatricians, you know.

I continue to be, let's say 'annoyed,' at nat'l coverage that posits "Americans" are reacting w/ passivity. Most leaders may be, but I spend every day talking to ordinary people taking extraordinary steps to protect their families, communities and countries. National media just missing the story.

“… to withdraw my application. [The video on Twitter] made me fully realize that I cannot imagine working for NIH leadership that has so little respect for facts, the NIH, and its staff, and let me add, themselves.”

"Thank you for your attention to this matter.“

😂😂😂 good stuff!

Trump Can Prosecute Anyone Now The Department of Justice is his personal law firm.

The Supreme Court’s 2024 decision to grant presidents “absolute immunity” to criminal prosecution for “official acts”—a concept with no textual basis whatsoever in the Constitution—means that Trump can abuse his authority over the executive branch with impunity.
