.....and as if H5N1 isn't enough of a worry, with measles vaccination rates falling, the outbreak in Texas and now New Mexico continue to hospitalize, while RFK decides how to end vaccination altogether and turn our Public Health clock back a HUNDRED YEARS!

Beware!! A "perfect storm" is brewing. H5N1 is spreading across states and across species, while Trump and Kennedy end research, testing and reporting. Will we even know when we are entering our next pandemic? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A strong letter to Senator Fetterman, an early, abject and disappointing capitulator, from one of his PA constituents. open.substack.com/pub/johnnypa...

Which Trump voters are going to be hurt by the Musk/Trump wrecking ball? 1) Millions of government workers and their families, who may have voted Republican but now find their own livelihoods threatened;

Inspired to dig out this article from Monday by @hcrichardson.bsky.social. It is a sad fact that our "liberal society" has indeed allowed the crackpots, fascists and ignorant/malignant fanatics to survive, even flourish. Now we may live to regret that generosity: www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Why am I not surprised that once a lawbreaking, insurrectionist rioter, you will always lash out violently when confronted by an opposing view point? Because it was entirely predictable! www.newser.com/story/364702...

If you’re in North San Diego County, our congressional representative Darrell Issa is holding a Town Hall in Escondido tomorrow. See you there! mobilize.us/s/V50ndY

..... and why is it only the US that has proved itself unable to defend democracy against insurrection? In both Brazil and S. Korea their justice system seems to have prevailed. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

I feel desperately sorry for the brave people of Ukraine right now. However, this SH!T may lead to a strengthening of resolve by Europe who must now step up in Ukraine - and everywhere else around the planet where the US has pulled back. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

A good “Call to action” by the Indivisible team. I agree with “Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular.”https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/how-to-organize-our-way-out-of-the-trump-musk-putsch/

Over 900 political scientists have signed this letter “asking” Trump to stop acting illegally! I doubt he will read it, let alone stop. drive.google.com/file/d/1lGk2...

Brazil shows how to deal with an insurrectionist: apnews.com/article/bols...

A case of “the pot calling the kettle black!”

Good to see the judge read up on a bit of basic biology; Trump’s team didn’t bother!

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.
