Crying so hard at this reality that I started laughing

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...

It breaks our hearts to have to say that CDC is no longer a source for evidence-based vaccine recommendations. 💔

But we are so proud of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for stepping up to protect kids. ❤️‍🩹

RFK Jr.’s Tuskegee Experiment RFK Jr. recently directed the CDC to fund a study in West Africa that lays bare his cruelty and dishonesty

“A screenshot of a text article discussing a December 5, 2025 ACIP vote to change the longstanding universal hepatitis B vaccination policy for newborns to an individualized decision for infants born to mothers who test negative. The article states that many public health experts and state leaders criticize the change as politically motivated and not evidence-based. Below, a bulleted list names states and health bodies urging rejection of the new guidance: • California – Governor Gavin Newsom calls the decision reckless and says the state will continue recommending the universal birth dose. • Illinois – Governor J.B. Pritzker notes a new law allowing state-specific vaccine recommendations and says Illinois will not abide by the ACIP decision. • Massachusetts – Governor Maura Healey calls the vote dangerous and wrong, and says the state will continue recommending the universal newborn vaccine. • New York City – Health officials say NYC will continue to strongly recommend hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns. • West Coast Health Alliance (California, Washington, Oregon) – Issues a joint statement urging rejection of the new guidance due to lack of credible evidence.”

I woke up this morning to see that many states across the country have decided to #REJECT the decision to scrap the #HBV vaccine birth dose by #ACIP. Here are some (alt-text included). But who will be left behind? 1/

The Italian university professors’ oath of allegiance to fascism (1931) «I swear fidelity to the King, to his Royal successors and to the Fascist regime, and I swear to respect the [National Fascist Party’s] Statute and the other laws of the State, and to fulfil …

Sound familiar? Trump and Mussolini are two peas in a pod. "Only twelve out of some 1200 university professors refused to swear [their allegiance to Mussolini] in 1931." Who will bow down to fascism a century later? blognostrumuva.wordpress.com/2017/04/11/t...

If you missed Dr Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas at British Science Festival in Liverpool yesterday talking about her work to connect animals through tech, check this out! 🦜💻 #BSF25

Yesterday I wrote about how Turning Point put many of us on the Professor Watchlist

What I didn't write about was the years of harassment from the right, including rape, deportation & death fantasies that played out in my messages, comments in the stories about me & voice mails. That’s his legacy.

Do better, People magazine 🤣
that's a weevil not a kissing bug 😉

The rich can build a prison in 24 hours, but just not homeless shelters.

Time to take a time out to watch '28 weeks later' online in preparation to take the family to the movies and watch '28 years later' on the big screen.

The late, great Dr Richard Levins knew better about the National Academy of Sciences many years ago.

It’s just all so dark, so perverse, so sick.

Beautiful- do they bite?

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
