dear my white people.
this thread, and reflect.
k thx.

Josh Kraft drops out of race for Boston mayor - The Boston Globe “When I kept looking at the next eight weeks, the negativity, and all that it was going to be about. I realized, wow, I can do more," Kraft said.

Josh Kraft, the nonprofit leader who sought to unseat Mayor Michelle Wu, said he was ending his bid for Boston mayor.

Charlie Kirk’s death is awful and abhorrent but it’s appalling that the President is calling for national mourning for a right wing propagandist and hasn’t said a word about Officer David Rose or the brave employees at the CDC

A square graphic with a stylized mountain landscape in shades of blue, a yellow and peach gradient sky, and a white sun rising above the peaks. White birds fly in the sky. Large white text at the center reads: “In times like these, our faith does not retreat. It rises.” At the top left is the text “http://UUA.ORG .” At the bottom left is a yellow heart-shaped brushstroke logo with the words “Side With Love.” At the bottom right is the red and orange Unitarian Universalist Association flaming chalice logo.

As the weight of violence presses more heavily on our world, many of us carry grief and weariness. ✨ Our faith does not retreat. It rises. ✨

Grounded in love, we show up for one another and for our neighbors with courage and compassion.

In 20 years of journalism on several continents I’ve never seen authorities leave an active crime scene open like this.

Wild

Especially since there are hundreds of cops nearby

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

Aaaannnnnnd, someone let him tweet himself again.

Most do not have a smell. I invite you to try one of the hundreds of varieties of N95/KN95/KF94/FFP2/FFP3s available to accommodate your needs for no smell and a safe, tight, fit.

👆These are about Covid.
Noting here b/c I forgot to trigger feeds

lThe primary element is a line graph showing "% Test Positivity" over time, with the title "Where is zero, CDC?". The graph depicts a general downward trend followed by a recent upward spike. The Y-axis ranges from 4.0% to 14.0%, and the X-axis labels dates in 2024 and 2025 It shows 06/21/25 landing on the x axis, as if it were at zero. but the y axis ended too soon. A red arrow points to the left end of the horizontal axis, labeled "zero". It is far below the line meant to be the x axis In the upper right corner, there's a visual reference to the children's book "Harold and the Purple Crayon," showing the book cover and a purple doodle

The words "Where is zero, CDC?" are displayed in large, red text. Graph: A line graph displays the hospitalization rate per 100,000 population. The x-axis shows dates from "4/24" to "08/30/25." The y-axis shows rates from 1.0 to 4.0. The current specified hospitalization rate is "1.3" for the week ending 2025-08-30, with the previous week at 2.1. The line on the graph follows a downward trend. An arrow points toward the origin and is labeled "zero". this is far below the fake x axis On the right is the cover of the book "Harold and the Purple Crayon." The title is framed by a purple line. A simple drawing of Harold is present.

Biff234523 over on that other platform noticed it.
I made a couple of images
because I forgot ti take my melatonin tonight

the changes are here
www.cdc.gov/covid/php/su...

The image is a criticism of the CDC and its handling of COVID-19 data. Top: Text reads "Trump/RFK Jr/Doge fired most of the staff, so the CDC asked Harold to update the charts." next to this is an image of Harold and the Purple Crayon Left Side: A line graph titled "Percentage of Emergency Department Visits with Diagnosed COVID-19 in United States, All Ages." The graph shows a wavy blue line representing the percentage over time, from November 2024 to August 2025. A red line overlays a portion of the blue line, circling it in the May 2025 data. Bottom Left: Text reads "May 28 = .04" beneath the left graph. Right Side: An image of the book cover "Harold and the Purple Crayon", next to a second graph. Right Side Graph: An image of a graph displaying "% ED visits diagnosed as COVID-19". The value '1.6%' is displayed with smaller text indicating the week ending 2025-08-30 and a previous week of 1.5%. Bottom Right: Text , "The same May 28 is now made to look like it is zero". There is a graph next to it with a smaller percent value indicated at the matching time on the horizontal axis these indicate that the graph is now made to appear to "bottom out" at zero, but really they have simply moved it off the graph entirely

SinceTrump/RFK Jr/Doge fired most of the staff, it seems the CDC asked Harold to update the charts

NBC Boston article: Northeastern states consider regional approach to vaccine guidance after CDC changes By Malcolm Johnson • Published August 22, 2025 • Updated on August 22, 2025 at 7:44 pm https://bit.ly/NBC_Boston_8StatesGuidance  

🚨Eight U.S. states (MA, ME, VT, CT, RI, NY, NJ & PA) are considering a collaboration in creating science-based 💉immunization policy and guidance, @nbcboston.com reports. bit.ly/NBC_Boston_8...

🔥But let's be clear, under the new CDC guidance, most Americans are still eligible for COVID Vaccines. 🧵

This Labor Day, I’m thinking about all my colleagues in the US federal government who lost their jobs due to the Trump administration’s cruel and unconstitutional dismantling of our democracy. Solidarity and gratitude for your service to our country.

Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer:

-Australia by 2028
-Sweden by 2027
-Rwanda by 2030
-UK by 2040
-Indonesia by 2030
-Bhutan 2030
-El Salvador by 2030
-Canada by 2040

How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban.

You will note USA is not on this list.

Not to belabor the point but RFK Jr is going to implement policies that will kill thousands or even millions of people if he is not removed.

For my covid conscious folks mutuals here, I made a thread on the fediverse talking about wastewater data being used amongst covid circles to relax precautions. I can’t do it.

WHOA!!
it makes me wonder if something wasn't working right. That's unacceptable.

I was there two years ago for a conference and it was amazing. Especially the primary giant meeting halls.

That said, a heads up that the bathrooms were often 1100 to 1400.

sorry, the above was eight of eight posts in a row. This makes nine. I look forward to when editing is added.

This is the text from the attached screenshot of an article about the gutting of medical science in the US. "T***p news at a glance: How Robert F Kennedy Jr is cancelling medical science Measles on the rise and va**ination rates falling; EPA to be gutted of its crucial research function. Key US politics stories from Saturday 19 July at a glance Guardian staff Sat 19 Jul 2025 21.30 EDT “The current administration is waging a war on science,” warned Celine Gounder, a professor of medicine and an infectious disease expert at New York University in a keynote talk in May to graduates of Harvard’s School of Public Health. That war appeared to enter a new phase in the aftermath of a recent supreme court decision that empowered health and human services secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a prominent va**ine sceptic, and other agency leaders, to implement mass firings – effectively greenlighting the politicization of science."

Technically Measles, also airborne, is on the rise (Measles cases are at their highest rate in 33 years in the US) but it's not mistakable for a stomach flu or cold.

in other news, RFKJr gutting Healthcare means we have to tripledown on making sure we share truth

And if it did something bad to you, you were probably vulnerable to start with. That was probably because you ate too much corn syrup, so it's your own fault.

That's a slippery slope that we can avoid by being honest and finding out if what we came back from vacation with is the effingvirus.
7/

And it benefits the myth that we haven't gotten the effingvirus very often.
That's what RFK Jr. wants you to believe:
That it's not a big deal, and you didn't have it; and if you did have it, it didn't do anything bad to you.
