Are you interested in analyzing small samples from marginalized communities and aren't sure how? My new commentary in AJE's collection on Methods in Social Epidemiology lays out rec's for researchers, public health practitioners, and data owners. DM your email address if you need access.

The good news: CDC's webpages have been restored following court orders. The bad news: many have this despicable banner attached to them. We will be getting into misconceptions in gender ideology in a later post. For now, we are hurt and ashamed, and we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community.

Yesterday I realized that people do not understand that the “DEI” purge is a cover to get Black people fired and sidelined from government, university, and civic and corporate life in the US. This is so clear based on who is being targeted that I hadn’t thought to say it explicitly Happy #BHM! 🙃

The federal jobs I interviewed for in the past few months were all desperate to fill much needed positions. Now they have sent notices that the positions will not be filled. I’ve been getting federal job alerts for a while and this is the first week with no results.

I'm with a dozen public health professionals meeting with @amyklobuchar.com 's staff... next to her Minneapolis office. (We thought we had a meeting here but it turns out they don't meet with constituents in person in Minnesota, only in DC?! So we scrambled to find a public space) #VoughtNo 1/

We can confirm that the communication ban at CDC (and presumably all of HHS) has been extended for at least another week with no specified end date. No external communication with local, state, or territorial health departments, healthcare systems, or the public. In the setting of ongoing outbreaks.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.
