Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

good thing so many schools over-complied in advance🙃

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

Reports that National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya will now lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on an acting basis.

Unacceptable. Bhattacharya has spent his career undermining infectious disease prevention measures and spreading health and science disinformation.

It’s been bad for a while, but this week really feels like a low point for Public Health in the US.

😬

Good news: The FDA has reversed its decision and will now review Moderna’s application for the first mRNA-based flu vaccine after initially declining to consider it last week in an attempt to undermine vaccine science and trust.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

😂🤣

What the fuck? They dismantled our public health infrastructure for this.

Freedom House Ambulance Service was the first community-based Emergency Medical Service in the US.

It was started by Black men in the Hill District of Pittsburgh (Hill Street Blues was based in part on the Hill District). At the time, EMS was a dash to the hospital in the back of a paddy wagon.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
