NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

The schedule for making the flu vaccine is strict. Using WHO data (the WHO we just left), vaccine strains are selected at the March FDA mtg that was just canceled. Vaccine manufacturing then begins in June, raising serious doubts the vaccine will be ready next fall.🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

🧵 I’d bet that’s why DOGE is digging into the treasury. With 1.7 million excess deaths from the COVID19 virus, most deaths were people 65 & older who paid a lot of money into the Social Security fund; payments have been reduced by $294 billion. Here’s the math: fortune.com/2025/02/19/a...

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

😱 okay, this is pretty playfully written, and/but it makes an excellent point. university leaders can either use their power or lose it right now.

Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

Again, another day has gone by & the presidents of major research universities are deafeningly silent in the face of existential threats because of the potential end of federal funding. It's like watching the failure to stand up to Scott Walker & the Wisconsin GOP for a decade, on a national scale.
