A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

My open letter to Elon Musk ⬇️ Unfortunately, I can't share it on his social media megaphone, because he broke it and it still isn't working. Similarly, he's hobbled all our disease-detection systems around the world. We will regret this.

Sadly, Mason doesn’t have a perfect match on the stem cell register and his dual Bajan/ Caribbean, and white European heritage make it much harder to find a match Please be a hero for Mason by sharing his story and registering at dkms.org.uk/mason_tw

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

Fascinating read about Russian influence on Trump over 40 years…

He nails it.

This link in this post is intended for healthcare professionals. I am so proud of my team for developing this educational activity around HPV vaccination. I helped launch the vaccines almost 20 years ago. It is one of the things I am most proud of. touchinfectiousdiseasesime.org/in-conversat...

Shout out to @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social for calling out the dreadful state of our rivers in UK. Via @goodlawproject.bsky.social goodlawproject.org/update/rober...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Trump and Vance are courting Europe’s far right to spread their political gospel www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Stand with science. Always.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

Events since I wrote this piece for @theneweuropean.bsky.social have raised so many other issues in the Trump/science category that this could seem minor. But I think it's an important red flag about how Trumpian ideology wants to dictate scientific "truth". app.theneweuropean.co.uk/story/128845...

UK and US/Canada versions of my book, Immaculate Forms, are now both out in the wild. And UK paperback cover (coming in June) agreed upon!

The myth of America is gone for good now that the entire world has witnessed the fragility of their democracy, their unbridled oligarchy, their untrustworthiness as an ally, and their lack of any meaningful resistance to tyranny and fascism.

If Labour approves the Rosebank oil field, it would be the final straw for many of its green-minded voters. It might appease corporate power for a moment, but in doing so it will lose far more than it gains. The government seems to be on a self-destructive streak. Now's the time to rethink.

Closer economic ties with the European Union will boost growth by up to 2.2 per cent, according to new economic modelling shared with members of the cabinet www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

It’s important to note that most polls coming out about Reform are unrepresentative. It’s the equivalent like those ads that say “78% of women agree this cream reduces wrinkles”. They use small skewed samples of people. But it gets them on the news doesn’t it? The rolling coverage continues…

When America insists it is a Christian country at the same time it pulls all global aid and publicly demonizes two denominations with a long history of charity/aid ... it is an admission that the version of Christianity it claims is only for self, and contrary to Christ, who gave Himself for all.
