Essentially ALL TB programs funded by the U.S. Government were officially terminated last night. Horrifyingly, that includes the Global Drug Facility that coordinates the vast majority of TB treatment and tests purchased globally. Shuttering the GDF will stop TB treatment for the entire planet....

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

Just a reminder that we have Medicaid coverage of prenatal care and childbirth because IT SAVES MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. Ditto for SNAP, Head Start, free public K-12 education, and all the other things we do for kids. We do this stuff because we learned that it’s less expensive than the alternative.

If I wanted to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, I would have done so. Someday, a newspaper will realize there's a market niche for a paper w/normie liberal editorial decisions (op-ed & news) that is somewhat Dem aligned.

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Couldn’t agree more. This is how the Tea Party transformed the Republican Party back in 2009: they kept confronting reps and Senators all across the country until it snowballed into a major media issue. Scientists all across the country: do this! Students, fellows, PIs, you all can do this.🧪

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Did I ever post the pre-firing additional ancient cave-beasts? Either way, I absolutely love how they turned out — there are bison, aurochs, wooly rhinos, and a single mammoth! I definitely need to make more of these 👀

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

The thing about federal bureaucracy is that all the institutional knowledge that makes them work invisibly in such as making sure your milk doesn't contain formaldehyde, is stored inside people who would make twice as much money in another job.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Commercials for meds are always like "Ask your doctor about trying Our Medication 🌞" Like woah woah, slow down there, bucko- have YOU ever asked a doctor for a specific med? That's how you get labeled drug seeking. Doctors figure out which meds to give you via telepathy & ancient forest magics ONLY.
