Gaps in Prenatal Hepatitis B Screening and Management of HBsAg Positive Pregnant Persons in the U.S., 2015-2020 - PubMed This study suggests that as many as half a million (∼14%) pregnant persons who gave birth each year were not tested for HBsAg to prevent perinatal transmission. More than 50% of HBsAg-positive persons did not receive the recommended HBV-directed monitoring tests during pregnancy and after delivery.

#ACIP Why vaccinate babies instead of screening moms?Because screening misses "as many as half a million (∼14%) pregnant persons who gave birth each year."

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Trump says he doesn't want Somali migrants in the U.S., calls people 'garbage'

Hitler called Jews “rats”.

Trump calls Somalians “garbage”.

The purpose is the same: To dehumanize a minority in order to justify violence against the minority.

Every Prime Minister and every President in the democratic world must condemn this.

Never again.

In a speech Tuesday, Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s civil rights chief, defended Tucker Carlson’s hosting of white nationalist Nick Fuentes. She said the answer to offensive speech is “more speech,” and praised Elon Musk for removing guardrails on X, despite studies showing a rise in antisemitic content since the billionaire took ownership.

Fascinating: The Trump administration claims that the answer to offensive speech is “more speech” when the offensive speech comes from Tucker or Musk — but when it’s on college campuses, the administration’s answer is to attack civil liberties, due process, and academic freedom. 🤔

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

The one thing Pete Hegseth appears to be good at is generating incriminating evidence against himself that can be later used at trial.

I do in fact stay awake at night sometimes thinking about how the MAGA ghouls are destroying actually-essential counterterrorism efforts in favor of directing resources towards brutalizing elderly taco truck workers

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

19-year-old college student deported despite judge's order blocking her removal: Lawyer A 19-year-old college student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving break was detained at a Boston airport and later deported.

This young woman has lived in America since she was 7.

On her way to visit family for Thanksgiving, she was abruptly detained, shackled, and deported to Honduras. It's not even clear if she had a deportation order.

This isn't going after criminals. It makes no one safer.

"Taking out the survivors" is the definition of a war crime.

"Just a few years ago, conservatives struggled to navigate a world in which everyone was expected to pay fealty (whether sincerely or not) to the idea the US could be a multi-racial democracy in which equality was the goal toward which we all strove.
