First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

A constituent asks Senator Roger Marshall (R, Kansas) why DOGE is firing so many veterans and the man just runs away. I’ve seen some pathetic behavior in my life but this might get first prize.

ICYMI: Congresswoman Kim Schrier, a pediatrician, tore into HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for downplaying the measles outbreak in Texas as "not unusual," saying she blames him for the death of an unvaccinated child, the first U.S. death from measles since 2015. www.huffpost.com/entry/kim-sc...

I hate to break it to all these CEOs who want everyone to return to the office because they think we aren't working at home, but, uh......we were slacking off at the office too buddy. It's not really a "home" or "office" thing. We just don't really want to work super hard so your stock can go up.

I find it fascinating that fascism seems to appeal to people by identifying problems and harm caused by capitalism, but then doubles down and offers capitalisiming harder as a solution, and people buy it

I don't know how else to say this except for bluntly: It is not normal to have outbreaks of preventable diseases in wealthy countries. It is not normal to have children dying from preventable diseases in wealthy countries. This is the first US measles death in 10 years. There should be none.

Wild that the day after the FDA is like "Eh, maybe no flu vax next year lol" the CDC drops a report about how children and adolescents who got a flu vaccine were 32%–60% less likely to visit a doctor because of flu and 63%–78% less likely to be hospitalized.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

If you don’t feel like anything you do matters in this political climate, here’s a list of things you can do for positive impact. You’ll feel more productive because you’re doing something constructive, and it’ll create effective collective action for change. All we have is each other 💜

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.
