We take for granted the privilege of easy vaccine access in the U.S. Meanwhile, in parts of the world where I’ve worked, parents walk miles or travel for hours to get life-saving shots for their kids. #VaccinesSaveLives

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

This is how we make it through when disaster strikes, whether bushfire or flood or fascism: by organising and supporting, looking out for and looking after each other and everyone. No one left out, no one left behind. What an extraordinary story, and what heroes.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
