This is a brilliant article which I am glad someone has finally written. It's clear that the value is in the data and the potential to coerce is part of that value. Normally you can rely on governments to honour their side of the bargain. But when a third party gets in, all bets are off.

Half of pancreatic cancer patients in a small clinical trial responded to customized mRNA vaccines, potentially a huge step forward in treating a cancer typically regarded as an automatic death sentence. Trump/Musk are cutting cancer research and attacking vaccines. apple.news/AiYEpr6jtQFa...

"...an expression of a more significant social and cultural shift. One that has been taking place over decades and essentially says that we all have a right to dress as we want. It’s a shift that reflects the prioritization of the individual over the institution." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/s...

i often talk about how the difference between engineering and design isn't methods but objectives an engineer's job is to figure out how to do something at all, or how to do it quantitatively "better" when they start work, the question of whether they should even be doing it is assumed settled

The American health system has, quite plainly, always prioritized men’s health. 70% of those affected by chronic pain are women, but 80% of pain research is conducted on men. The National Institute of Health only began mandating that women be included in clinical trials in 1993.

The 1st recorded child victim of the disability euthanasia program was handed over by his own parents. Some of the parents knew what was going to become of their disabled children and saw "participation" in the program as patriotic. The moral here is ppl can be convinced of anything.

I have remained fairly silent over the past few weeks, largely because I have been processing the reality of an organization dedicated to improving government services being repurposed into the vector of destruction of those very same services. I wrote up some thoughts. Quick tl;dr🧵

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

This is 100% the next step for a society that has collapsed any semblance of a social safety net and has broken down regulations, public health and any other measures that would lessen epigenetic contributors to disability. Sicken and debilitate people, then call them useless eaters and eliminate

Every safety regulation is written in blood. As in, we get regulations only after terrible things have happened, to prevent them from happening again. Now the Trump Administration is firing the people whose job it was to stop the bleeding.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

I keep thinking abt how American democracy is downstream of colonist encounter w/Haudenosaunee who had a representative democracy w/3 branch govt going for 100s of years prior. And that we’ve run out of liberating cosmologies to encounter. Are we really equipped to do this ourselves?

The fun thing about America having centuries of unbroken institutional legitimacy is that the President can publicly say "I am doing a coup, illegally, in order to break the law for my own benefit" and 95% of people on both sides will say, "Oh no, he's not, that'd be crazy."

I’m seeing an awful lot of posts from people on Bluesky responding to despairing scientists with the words “please keep going, the world needs you”. Scientists cannot keep going if we can’t keep a roof over our heads and our mouths fed.

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

Not only have we now lost the generation that fought in WW2, we have lost most of those who were children during the war, who remembered rationing and the collective struggle to make the world a better, more peaceful, place. Collapse of solidarity enables the rise of assertive right wing politics.
