HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.

Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

Big orange and white cat with glorious mane thinks you are a dubious hooman.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

"Every other fed I've talked to agrees how much it sucks to be furloughed, but also that this shutdown needs to continue until the administration starts respecting the rule of law," said a NOAA employee. "Even the conservative Republicans."

One fed employee told me the internal conversations feel very different from previous shutdowns.

Fuck, man. This is water in a desert.

Thank you, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. I’m rooting for you.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Paradox of tolerance - Wikipedia

“A truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. Popper posited that if intolerant ideologies r allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through Authoritarian or oppressive practices.”

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things And trying to make life worth living And I know I don't have to believe in everything But I believe in that.

Keep creating. Keep sharing what you create. Right now, that is a radical act.

(Poem by Nikita Gill)

I think this is because it's only recently that we are seeing things like ICE shooting a white male minister in the head with a pepper ball.

So, those who are not brown, black, immigrants, refugees, or otherwise marginalized targets have been unconsciously assuming "they aren't coming for me".

Statement from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. 👏👏👏👏

They’ve killed the CDC’s ability to search for and tell us about new diseases, right as bird flu outbreaks head into the human flu season in the US, when all the sick people and no monitoring give them piles of chances to make the genetic jump to a human-spread nightmare.

When they compete- for votes, sales, or likes- they start to lie *even when told they must remain completely truthful*. And for this, we warp our economy and destroy our chances of averting worse climate change.

Nice recap

We’re dealing with fascism here, folks. You can word police *later*, if later ever happens. Promise.

Autism may have subtypes that are genetically distinct from each other Autism may exist in multiple forms, with the condition's genetics and signs differing according to the age at diagnosis

Autism may have subtypes that differ in their genetics and how the condition presents.

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:
—leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases;
—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

The CDC official who was leading the measles response and was RIFd has more than 28 yrs experience as the senior USG official leading outbreaks on Ebola, Marburg virus, and mpox. 2/4

RIF notices also sent to the CDC’s 2023 and 2024 class of civilian EIS officers known as its main disease detectives, per sources. These are the people who are typically the first responders in an outbreak. 4/4

CDC has been a global leader in public health & played a key role in smallpox eradication. Health depts in red states & blue states rely on CDC expertise & support. The CDC EIS program trains the next generation of public health leaders & disease detectives.

They are burning it to the ground.

I can’t believe how many ICE recruitment ads YouTube is serving to my kids’ Minecraft videos.

Banning “dangerous gain-of-function” pathogen research is actually just banning pathogen research. TB causes chronic disease, the supposed cornerstone of the MAHA movement. Hard to see ending TB research on treatments as anything but another targeted attack on science in service of destroying it.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

The only way this woefully inadequate healthcare system gets fixed such that we joint the rest of the developed world where spending has a relationship to outcomes is by moving to universal coverage. It’s going to take a shock (I thought COVID might do it). Maybe this is it- when it just breaks 🤷🏻‍♂️

ICE Gestapo attack the Police n they do nothing. WTH? #iceout #chicago

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

These are the "law enforcement" tactics federal agents are using in Chicago. Their car is obstructed by a moped so they tear gas the entire neighborhood.

Unacceptable in America.
