🚨 BREAKING: A judge has freed Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia student who was detained for using his right to free speech.

This is a massive victory for the First Amendment and against Trump’s authoritarian immigration policies.

Southbound trains are a mess too—would be good to report that!

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Contribution of vaccination to improved survival and health: modelling 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization Since 1974 substantial gains in childhood survival have occurred in every global region. We estimate that EPI has provided the single greatest contribution to improved infant survival over the past 50...

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.

Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Oh yeah I had a friend whose dad worked in earthquake mitigation construction in CA and he was like NY is owed a big one and alllll of those buildings will collapse. 😬😱😭

Thought someone was drilling upstairs and I was super annoyed 🤣 (the upstairs apt sounds like an eternal construction zone so that’s where my mind went). Had no idea it was an earthquake!

NY/NJ you have a chance to participate in one if the most fun earthquake activities- the USGS Did You Feel It? You can participate in doing SCIENCE 🧪 by helping the USGS better understand how the earthquake impacted the area. Fill out the Did You Feel It here: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Opinion | José Andrés: Let People Eat You cannot win this war by starving an entire population.

Jose Andres; no paywall.

"It is not a sign of weakness to feed strangers; it is a sign of strength. The people of Israel need to remember, at this darkest hour, what strength truly looks like."

Award-winning playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner is baffled by the controversy over director Jonathan Glazer's remarks at the 2024 Oscar Awards. Speaking with host Allison Kaplan Sommer on the Haaretz Podcast, Kushner called Glazer's Oscar speech "unimpeachable and irrefutable." "What he was saying is so simple: that Jewishness, Jewish identity, Jewish history, the history of the Holocaust, the history of Jewish suffering, must not be used in the campaign as an excuse for a project of dehumanizing or slaughtering other people. This is a misappropriation of what it means to be a Jew and what the Holocaust meant. He rejects that. Who doesn't agree?"

this is the way.

COVID Is 'Still a Pandemic,' WHO Leader Says The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, according to one of the World Health Organization’s leading infectious disease experts

It's stunning that the technical leader of the World Health Organization's COVID-19 response, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, publically reaffirmed that COVID-19 is still a global health threat and still a pandemic, yet hardly any media outlet has covered this except for this one.

Threads post: There is currently more COVID-19 transmission today than during 90.6% of the pandemic. We are in a huge swell of COVID, and we are still a week away from Christmas.

The COVID-19 pandemic never ended. What did end was any pretense that our government is trying to protect Americans from this virus.

It’s so surreal watching the “Jews will not replace us!!” folks all get on board with tearing down colleges over how they’re supposedly so antisemitic, and having nobody in media go “wait a minute, what’s the real motive here”

The New Face of the ‘Great Replacement’ Vivek Ramaswamy is both the newest proponent of the racist idea and the best example of why it’s wrong.

Wrote about why the white supremacist “great replacement” is stupid in addition to being racist www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is happening somewhere every minute of every day in this country. And it's an abomination of human rights that they have become news stories.

Many don't want to wear masks again as masks remind them of the trauma of 2020, and wearing them feels like going back. In reality, mask wearing is a sign of progress. They show we've learned from 2020 there's a simple step we can all take to protect our health. Not wearing masks is going backwards.

Congrats, Chris. Hell of a milestone. 🎉🎉🎉

The Same Extremists Target Both Muslims and Jews Far-right extremists shifted their online hate from Muslims to Jews in 2017, and offline hate followed the same trends

"Contemporary discourse often pits Muslims & Jews against one another. But our research demonstrates that a large amount of seemingly disconnected hateful rhetoric about both—at least in 2017—originated from the same far-right extremist communities" | The Same Extremists Target Both Muslims and Jews

lol thomas and alito are not sitting in on a yearly webinar on dos and don'ts for accepting free stuff from billionaires

Some of the best people I know are convinced they're horrible failures and unlovable for it meanwhile every dickhead I've met feels intensely justified in telling other people why they deserve admiration.
