Tomorrow, I am bringing Haley Robson, a heroic survivor, to the State of the Union.

Portugal, Germany and Thailand Re-impose Covid Testing for Arrivals from China
As XBB.1.5 spreads rapidly, several governments are bringing back pre-departure COVID testing for travelers from China. Portugal now requires a negative test within 48 hours and will add wastewater sequencing on flights.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
Public service announcement: RSV was really bad for many patients in the ICU this past week. Please get vaccinated if you are eligible.
I guess this says everything 😔😔
Basically anyone can get #Longcovid including children who are the ones I am most concerned about because they are the least protected and most exposed group. We urgently need clean air and sensible policies of non attendance with COVID. Failure to rest when infected increases the risk of damage 🧵

The world is held together not by great heroes, but by people who simply helped. You are not obliged to save everyone, but if you saved one, that is enough.

I said what I said
It’s been two weeks since an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, a US citizen, in broad daylight.
He’s not being investigated.
There’s been no accountability.
Yet 7 Democrats just voted to fund ICE.
They voted to give more money to the people who did this.
Disgusting.
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
We can either sit here and let Kristi Noem repeatedly lie to our faces or we can fight back every single day until she and this entire regime are removed from office.
If you choose to fight, click below to demand your representatives impeach Noem!
Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:
"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
Just look at these ACT subject areas and SAT Math scores.
Gee golly, I wonder if there’s something going around that causes neurological malformations in fetuses, developmental delays in children, and cognitive dysfunction and brain damage in teens and adults?

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”
If COVID were primarily prevented by handwashing, we'd expect it to surge in water-scarce regions the way true water-washed diseases do.
The fact that it is surging in high-income countries with excellent hygiene is far more consistent with airborne spread than "wash your hands harder"

When RFK Jr ends all vaccination recommendations and requirements for children, guess what happens?
Insurance companies can stop paying for the shots.
Millions of parents won’t be able to choose the vaccines because they won’t be able to pay for them.
He knows this.
It’s social murder.
Wisconsin DHS confirms pediatric deaths associated with respiratory illness, encourages vaccines.

This is wild. A 22-year-old having COVID 9 times isn’t “normal” or acceptable.
She washes her hands religiously, but COVID is airborne — Public health failed her.
She had been healthy and happy for most of her life, but repeated infections have clearly taken a toll on her health and wellbeing.
🧵Omfg. In 1965, to keep an eye on China, the CIA hatched a plan to put a monitoring device on Nanda Devi, a difficult to climb mountain in India, overlooking China.
The device was powered by voltage generated by heat from radioactuve Plutonium.
They lost it in the icepack feeding the Ganges.
It’s honestly laughable. If this administration cared about us they would do something to end the gun violence problem in this country”
Zoe Weissman is a sophomore at Brown. Zoe survived the Parkland school shooting.
Barely over 18 and they’ve already endured two mass shootings.
It’s unimaginable
Remember there is no reason for alarm. You can easily protect yourself with a well-fitted respirator. Back it up with air filtration and vaccination.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?
