Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.
I used this link to send messages to the president of the university that employs me (SUNY-ESF) and the president and board of trustees of my alma mater (the University of Michigan).

Russell Vought’s OMB Grant Proposal takes the formerly expert informed, democratic grant award process and turns it into an authoritative process based on political ideology. It will destroy science in America as we know it. Take action here: zurl.co/ydchb Article: zurl.co/Juc68

Believe this is what the kids call an “own goal.” Losing this data stream only blinds us to risk and increases US vulnerability. For shame.

Matthew 5:43-47 (part of the sermon on the mount)
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

Since the fascists are waging a gender war based on their (wrong) views re: the determinacy of X Y chromosomes, I’d just like to point out that they were discovered by an unmarried woman geneticist whose findings were stolen by men after she died of breast cancer at 50. www.omic.ly/the-discover...

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like “states’ rights” to invoke the same spirit. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more — if it ever was — to say they use DEI as the n-word.
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
