If you don’t understand the difference between abortion being an individual decision that affects only oneself & vaccine refusal being a public health choice that affects herd immunity & thus the health of your community, you have zero fucking business working in, let alone overseeing public health.
Vinay Prasad will defend your right to drink raw milk. That's freedom.
With vaccines, he decides for the entire country. He controls our health.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliation against people recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc) in North Carolina.
I focus on press, but victims do NOT need to be a journalist. Everyone has right to record.
Our friends @aclunc.bsky.social would also love to hear from you:

DA: I understand you've formed an opinion wrt the individuals contaminating the crime scene.
Me: It's the detectives.
DA: You're able to assess this on a 12 year old crime? By... Monday morning quarterbacking?
Me: Well, I did bring the video. Should we go to the tapes?

I looked up the food pantry closest to me to make a donation. The small sign on the bottom says to use the pantry you have to bring ID, a current lease, and proof of income for every adult in the household. Many people will go hungry, and they'll be the ones most in need.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I really thought this would be the worst thing I'd have to deal with this week, or at least the only one trying to kill me, but the universe, the divine, and fate have answered back, "Hold my beer."
