Am I a hypocrite for wanting this after giving a hard no to muppet knives out

Federal cuts upended clinical trials. A new study reveals the toll. Grants for 383 clinical trials were terminated and the funding disruptions affected more than 74,000 trial participants, according to new research.

A new study found the Trump administration’s cuts to NIH grants disrupted more than 380 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants.

The cuts disproportionately impacted trials on infectious diseases and minority communities.

wow, which common vaccine was it?

We need to keep reminding leaders that a strong social safety net is what keeps us ALL safe. ✊🏾

What the Public Memory of Charlie Kirk Revealed

For those who were directly targeted by Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric, bipartisan tributes to him as a champion of free speech signal the mainstreaming of formerly extremist views, Nikole Hannah-Jones writes in an essay for The New York Times Magazine.

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

Inside Gen Z Candidate Kat Abughazaleh's Viral ICE Rally Tear-Gassing: "Fascism 101" “If they are willing to do this to a congressional candidate in front of a bunch of press, imagine what they're doing behind boarded-up windows.”

Earlier this month, U.S. House candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, 26, was involved in a confrontation at an ICE rally that went viral.

“If they are willing to do this to a congressional candidate in front of a bunch of press, imagine what they're doing behind boarded-up windows.”

Expect any non-citizen (for now) in any position of power to be harassed and abused on pretext by the secret police.

Official communication from FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy acknowledges there is no causal link between its use in pregnancy and autism. Also states clearly that this is the safest over the counter treatment for fever and pain in pregnancy. It is very different from what was communicated at the press conference.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy.
- They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism
- Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway
It's very different from the press conference.
Pass it on.

Biden ran to "Save the Soul of the Nation"

Instead he:
Restored broken norms rather than lead a healing transformation

Lied about his health & held onto power instead of fostering healthy debate/transition

Enabled a genocide

Enabled Trump 2.0

Strong argument for one of the worst Presidents ever

I am weary.

I hold on to hope.

I just wish we had leaders that actually inspired it.

Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, I emailed my editors at a major American newspaper a potential column focused on the role of Christian Nationalism + radicalization of young white Christian men.

They killed it. This is what they published instead.

The last line: The Show Must Go On.

The @startribune.com said they were ending my contract after a year. But, weeks after a year had passed since I signed in August 2024, I received these messages from my editor.

So what was the real reason for firing me?

I know dis/misinformation is a thing, but if you are taking your health advice from a guy who thought it was a good idea to inject bleach into your veins to treat a virus..

rather than clinicians who have gone to school for a decade..

then you likely have bigger threats to your health than Tylenol

If the #ACIP votes not to recommend the MMRV anymore, then that vaccine won't be covered by the Vaccines for Children Program, which makes vaccines free for low-income families. Nearly half of kids are eligible for the program. Medicaid also may not cover the MMRV as a first dose, either. #Equity

A doctor attending at the #ACIP (but not a voting member) said the committee needs to consider equity. Some underserved communities have trouble getting time off from work or transportation to clinic visits.

I'm watching the ACIP meeting. #Follow along for updates.
The committee will vote on whether to delay the hepatitis B vaccine for babies and whether to give the MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) and chickenpox vaccines separately.

The meeting of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is starting now. They will vote on delaying the hepatitis B vaccine (now given at birth) until baby is 1 month old, as long as mom tests negative. www.youtube.com/live/-6uBNXs...

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

We are off the looking glass & through the looking glass when Karl Rove has more spine than almost any national Democrat & The Wall Street Journal’s opinion editor more courage than any of the leaders at ABC or CBS or Fox or CNN or NBC.

The Republican Party that hated racial quotas sure does seem to like racial quotas

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”
