🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Just told a heartbreaking story of a foster parent who took in a 16 year old girl whose parents got taken away. The ice agents gave her the choice of going with her parents or going into foster care. Her parents begged her to stay for her safety. And they said goodbye to her.

Anyone else notice that The Moscow Institute of Computer Science “caught fire” and suddenly all the bot comments disappeared? Feels like an algorithmic cleanse, if you ask me. How convenient.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

That’s what “DEI” stand for … Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery.

We appear to be seeing an uptick of devastating flu-associated Acute Necrotizing Encephalitis in children this season. We've had reports here in No. Cal. Others out of Boston.

Brilliant - @nychealthy.bsky.social teamed up with Matt McGorry to make an info video on long covid. It's hands down one of the best I've seen in 5+ years 👏🏼 1/3

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

"This is not a 'woke' mentality. Evidence backs this up… a diverse workforce can both improve outcomes and reduce costs. The full realm of diversity, equity, and inclusion means that we're trying to make sure that we see all the barriers to receiving care." Anti-DEI is anti-patient centered care.
