A Supreme Court Justice Finally Just Stood up to Trump Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized the president's unsettling attacks on the judiciary.

“I urge you to keep going, keep doing what is right for our country, and I do believe that history will vindicate your service," Jackson told fellow judges.

Here are the *current* pediatric and adult vaccine schedules for the U.S.

Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.

CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Black History is American History.

I don't know who needs to hear this but now is an excellent time to follow @melhilario.bsky.social, @katiesaurusrex.bsky.social, and @laurendavis.bsky.social. Warning: you might fall in love with their book coming out from @oni-press.bsky.social.

James Harvey III, Tuskegee airman, leader of the team that won the US military's first aerial gunnery competition for combat aviators. AKA, Top Gun. James Harvey is a handsome Black man in WW2 uniform with an indomitableble look of calm confidence.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡
