MAGA champions free speech, y’all

Don’t look away from the implicit eugenics of “living with COVID" By lifting public health restrictions we are essentially subjecting immuno-compromised people to market eugenics.

If you're refusing to acknowledge the ongoing Covid pandemic and you're pushing Covid denialism by referring to the pandemic in the past tense, you have zero ground to stand on when it comes to spouting off about what is and is not eugenics.

Harvard is seriously considering to resolve dispute "through the courts rather than a negotiated settlement"

Jay Bhattacharya once studied health disparities. As NIH director, he’s allowed such research to wither Jay Bhattacharya’s tenure as NIH director has seen health disparities research swept up in the Trump administration’s attack on DEI

Under Bhattacharya at NIH - who built his career playing victim of censorship - "Over 1,000 grants mentioning racism, discrimination, health equity, health disparities, minorities, and inequality have been terminated... outnumbering cuts to other research topics the administration considers taboo."

Just obscene.

Palaeontology will be eradicated as soon as the Christian Right demands it because it goes against Genesis saying the earth is only 6-10,000 years old.

COVID Contrarians Are Wrong About Sweden Trying to ‘let it rip’ in early 2020 was a disaster by Ryan Cooper

Sweden is not proof that letting pandemics rip is wise

Sweden’s early pandemic death toll was high, its later low mortality was largely due to delayed deaths + effective vaccination

Countries without Sweden’s unique advantages suffered catastrophic outcomes when they avoided strict interventions

COVID Contrarians Are Wrong About Sweden Trying to ‘let it rip’ in early 2020 was a disaster.

"This implied notion that Sweden’s experience proves lockdowns were pointless, we could have largely ignored the pandemic, and overall deaths would have gone down is certainly provocative, but it’s utter nonsense." prospect.org/health/2025-...

COVID Contrarians Are Wrong About Sweden Trying to ‘let it rip’ in early 2020 was a disaster.

“A conventional wisdom has been solidifying in certain centrist and liberal quarters that the controls imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic Went Too Far. Sweden supposedly proves this—but as @ryanlcooper.com asks, “Does it really?”

This is essential reading. Sweden’s early pandemic response was a disaster.

Do 'work requirements' in Medicaid work? Georgia's been trying it for two years Most states will have to establish work requirements for Medicaid by 2027. Georgia has had them for two years. Some Georgians say the glitchy system makes it too hard to prove they actually qualify.

Georgia and Arkansas are a cautionary tale of what the entire nation will soon face. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric. Work requirements only work to kick people off of Medicaid.

Add this to the list of shameful disparities we seem willing to accept in the US. "...among all subgroups, Latino essential workers who were potentially undocumented were hardest hit, with a staggering 91% increase in deaths compared with 8% for the White US-born subgroup."

The #Trump #Vought administration is intent on destroying all knowledge generation in this country. Now math is on the chopping block. Math. Vought is a modern day Visigoth (who thinks he’s doing god’s work).

This is the most dangerous man in America. He is tearing down every institution in every corner of the federal government. He is taking us back to the Dark Ages in a quest to set up a religious state. Destruction is his goal. art: nwlc.org
