Hello friends. The only experience RFK Jr. has with public health is as a PATIENT. He is a lawyer. You’d go to a plastic surgeon to get sown up after an accident (not a lawyer) and your baby is delivered by an OBGYN (not a lawyer). No one in their right mind calls me to operate in them.

“It’s bad enough when law enforcement engages in such mass surveillance, but to have such data flowing through a private company creates an additional set of incentives for abuse…”

Me too. I am literally the ONE generation of women who had full reproductive age bodily autonomy - after Roe and before Dobbs. One. Only ONE generation of American women had these rights. Think about that.

A police chief saying he expects to be arrested and jailed by the federal government for how he chooses to do his official job—esp when it seems to be in the context of NOT interfering w ppl using their constitutional rights—feels like a really bad thing.

This is a short doc that @knightcolumbia.org produced in 2023 about protests, the police, and the press. I wish it were less prescient. “The next time there are large-scale protests, the pieces of fabric that are holding this together may tear completely.” knightcolumbia.org/content/flas...

This is about as much as the three largest cancelled NIH grants - $36m for the development of new HIV prevention methods; $52m for oral antiviral drugs for pandemic-prone RNA viruses; and $56m for antiviral drugs against coronaviruses, flaviviruses, and henipaviruses: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

More and more surveillance is the requirement for participation in public life. Companies used to attempt to do this surreptitiously, but that’s no longer the case. They are now explicit that being surveilled is the cost of doing business. tech.yahoo.com/business/art...

The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

Great to hear Dr. Hayden speaking about her work at the Library of Congress. It was a true honor to help bring her vision to life: a Library for Congress and the people. As Dr. Hayden reminds us, libraries aren’t just buildings—they’re vital civic infrastructure for democracies. youtu.be/rme21qIbVHM
