Personally I think popular communication about public health should move away from “what’s going to happen?” and towards “what do we know and what can we do?”

Yes - and I certainly support these laws in general - but we have to qualify that the period since has been accompanied by essential the shift of contaminating industries to the rest of the world. Our clean rivers and cont. mass consumption are, in part, possible bc we contaminated someone else.

‘the return to antiquated policies is demonstrably ineffective, and “if incarceration did provide public safety, Louisiana would be one of the safest places in the country, because we’ve had the highest incarceration rate for decades. But we’re not the safest.”’ From @delaneynolan.bsky.social

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

New from me — “What it comes down to is the removal of choice, especially when it comes to established health care. People should not have to suffer the anguish of being denied life-saving drugs because a couple of guys have decided to apply conspiracy theories instead of established science.”

Today I explained my research ideas to someone who follows current events & also works in research, and in between nodding and agreeing that stuff was important, she just kept cackling at the absurdity of such things being unfundable these days. Sometimes that’s the only way to let the anger out.

This is a disaster for the people of Louisiana, surrounding states, & everyone who needs to travel to or be in contact w/people traveling from there. People warned that "you do you" means eugenics when it comes to public health, & begged folks not to normalize it, but they weren't listened to.

In light of the New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street, New Orleans is requiring more police officers for security for parades. More cops = more costs. The city covers these costs for larger, more traditional parades. But not independent walking parades. My latest: www.wwno.org/latest-news/...

When I say that an action like boycotting or shareholder targeting needs to be organized and consistent, I mean it can't just be random people making fliers and demands. A group of people need to get together to think through an actual strategy for how to make a significant impact.
