Baltimore seniors, some in their 90s, are staging a weekly vigil to protest Donald Trump | Baltimore Brew They bring decades of perspective, signs calling him an “incompetent tyrant” and rollators when necessary, and still make it back to their independent living community in time for dinner.

These elders in my neighborhood give me life every week!

White House Health Report Included Fake Citations

Don't let AI write your papers, kids. It makes up citations.

(Also don't pursue garbage public health agendas that will sicken and kill people)

The way it works is that if you actually want to protect the most vulnerable, you protect everyone.

Selectively offering vaccination will increase the chance that those at greatest risk will get sick AND will make people think that vaccination doesn't matter, so fewer will get vaccinated overall.

"What makes you so much more worthier of your peace? What makes you so much more worthier of protecting your children? What makes you so much more worthy of your citizenship? What makes you more worthy of safety? Of being given the right that they took from me to protect my daughters?"

“Our old relationship….with the United States is over.”

Philanthropy is never a replacement for public funding because:

"Hopkins leaders say they cannot tap much of the university’s endowment because the funds are designated to specific priorities by donors or must be preserved."

Trump Aides Solicit Ideas to Raise Birthrate, From Baby Bonuses to Fertility Planning (Gift Article) The White House is soliciting policy proposals designed to give women incentives to have more children, a priority for many social conservatives.

How do you write this article without pointing out that they only want a baby boom for white people? Like can you imagine how the White House narrative would shift if the birth rate among Black people suddenly skyrocketed?

How to Keep Doing Global Health: Tips From the Global South Two researchers share three experience-based strategies with global health researchers in the U.S. and beyond who are debilitated by defunded initiatives.

This Jew right here ✋ knows that the homegrown far-right, Christian Zionists, etc are the sources of antisemitism in America, not immigrants.

I'm certain Kristi Noem wouldn't have let my great-grandparents into this country. The Trump administration can take their concern trolling and SHOVE IT.

Families of Key Bridge victims shut out of $16M relief fund A community foundation raised money for the Maryland Tough, Baltimore Strong fund under the explicit premise that Key Bridge victims’ families would see some of it.

New: Named after a turn of phrase from the governor, the Maryland Tough, Baltimore Strong Key Bridge Relief Fund raised $16 million. None of it went to help the victims’ families despite the Baltimore Community Foundation initially saying it would.

Black Power, Jewish Politics - Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh Rabbi Jessy Dressin in conversation with authors Marc Dollinger and Ilana Kaufman about Black and Jewish partnerships (and Black Jews) in the 1960s and beyond.

"What happened to the Black and Jewish partnership of the civil rights movement? Are the stories we tell about the connections between the Black and Jewish communities accurate? Where were the Black Jews in these discussions?"

Expect plenty of pro-MW propaganda from me 5/5 (also, always). I love us so much!🥰

Threats to public health at every angle Covid anniversary, pandemic revisionism, chronic diseases, and a boulder going down the hill

@ylepidemiologist.bsky.social is always on point.

"This is what we in public health call the cycle of panic and neglect—a surge of support during crises...only to fade once the immediate threat passes, leaving systemic problems unresolved time and again."

Reminder that Cassidy voted to repeal Obamacare (which actually helps people get care) & supports Medicare Advantage plans (which do nothing other than cost tens of BILLIONS $$ more for the same services provided by traditional Medicare, by installing for-profit insurance companies as middlemen).

"This victory is not just about abortion access - it's about our right to exist in our fullness, to make decisions for ourselves, and to resist systems that have never served us...this is about continuing the longstanding tradition of Southern resistance and self advocacy."

Every single person who worked on the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System was fired yesterday.

These data are used to prevent maternal and infant mortality. To improve postpartum health services. To prevent drug withdrawal among BABIES.

My heart. 💔

VICTORY: Voters in Wisconsin just voted to protect a pro-abortion rights majority on their state Supreme Court.

Abortion access was on the ballot in Wisconsin and voters knew it!

This is a major win for reproductive freedom in the state.

The biggest reason government officials aren't giving any specifics about the criteria by which these arrests and deportations are selected, is that the criteria is "pro-Israel think-tanks and advocacy organizations created lists of troublesome individuals and gave them to us."

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

Just imagine if, instead of sending out this bureaucratic legalese and telling you to call the cops (who will deffffinitely interfere with ICE agents, rite?) our universities said: WE VALUE OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR SAFETY ABOVE ALL ELSE AND WE WILL DEFEND THEM WITH EVERY RESOURCE WE HAVE!

Just having a quiet moment of seeing my fellow yid Howard Lutnik (son of a history professor!) believe so foolishly in his own invincibility. Maybe not for you, Howard, maybe not even for your children, but you really think that in the end the Face-Eating Leopard Party isn't coming for us too?

Columbia University capitulates to Trump demands to restore $400m in federal funding – live Changes include allowing security officers to arrest students and a new official for Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department

I graduated from Columbia in 2014 and have never been so ashamed to be associated with an institution as I am today (and I've had plenty of opportunities before).

Hey @columbiauniversity.bsky.social: you will never see a dollar of support from this alum.
