To have the Supreme Court lowering the bar for 'reverse discrimination' suits is nothing more than privilege and a straight-up slap in the face! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

🧪 As the measles outbreak in West Texas & New Mexico grows to >130, not hard to imagine how much worse this same scenario could be a few years down the road if RFK undermines confidence in & access to vaccines. The signs he will are already adding up. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link!):

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Tesla's losses on Tuesday were at least partly a reaction to a catastrophic decline in Tesla’s European sales, which fell 50% in January from a year earlier, according to new-car registrations tallied by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”

One of the remarkable things about #NIH is how rigorously its grants, research, and employees are reviewed. NIH science and scientists are held to a high standard by external reviewers — via study sections and councils, or BSC/site visit reviewers. And the reviews have teeth. 🧪

I want to make it clear that no executive order can change federal law and every executive order trump has signed has expressly disclaimed the intent to. The screenshot is from the DEI EO. That’s before you get to courts actually blocking big parts of it. And yet the overcompliance is legion.

I think few of us know what is coming down the pike but each of us and our communities would do well to focus on resilience, physical, emotional, and otherwise. Plan on planting a Victory Garden and maybe learning to can. Evaluate your family’s needs and get ahead of future supply chain issues.
