California now requires corn masa flour to contain folic acid to reduce birth defects among Latinos. Public health officials have lauded these efforts, but some conservatives say it’s another form of government overreach.
California is adding a supplement to tortillas. RFK Jr. calls it ‘insanity’.

From data cleansing to ethnic cleansing, Trump 2.0 has it all!
From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

The Trump/Musk regime gathering home addresses for undesirable people from IRS data is exactly what you’d expect them to do before launching some form of mass ethnic cleansing/political violence campaign.
Seems very likely the Musk/Trump regime could also try to use IRS data to get home addresses for dissidents, queer people, and other minorities.
This story is tough to summarize in a catchy way, but I'll try: The DHS asked the IRS to share the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally, and the IRS said no because that's not legal. Nixon was nearly impeached for a similar move.

Even if you weren’t pro-abolishing ICE, there clearly should, in a moderately sane environment, be a deep cleansing — not ethnic or violent, the way the agency likes to do to others esp recently — of the organization; what more evidence and data do u need that it is lawless, out of control & violent

In a talk with chief data scientist with Pfizer, it was machine learning and neural networks, combined w/ very careful data cleansing, that allowed them to develop their mRNA Covid vaccine as quickly as they did. Just a reminder that not all AI is gen AI.

The term "ethnic cleansing" makes my skin crawl.
Facial cleansing removes dead skin cells and rehydrates the skin. Data cleansing removes old, corrupted records from a dataset.
Ethnic cleansing has no connection to either of these things. We're all people ffs. We're the same.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="434" data-start="226">US President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly preparing a plan to place Gaza under American control and forcibly remove its population, codifying ethnic cleansing and cementing Israel’s genocide.</p>
<p data-end="622" data-start="436">The Washington Post reports that Gaza’s more than two million residents would be relocated abroad or confined to secure zones for at least ten years while reconstruction takes place.</p>
<p data-end="958" data-start="624">The 38-page proposal, called the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust (GREAT Trust), envisions Gaza as a “Riviera of the Middle East.” Investors are promised returns on $100bn projects including luxury resorts, AI-powered “smart cities,” data centres, and EV factories.</p>
<p data-end="1181" data-start="960">Palestinian landowners would receive digital tokens redeemable for property in new developments or to finance life abroad. Those agreeing to exile would get $5,000 cash, a year of food, and four years of rent subsidies.</p>
<p data-end="1379" data-start="1183">The plan was drafted with input from Israeli figures linked to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.</p>

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Pulitzer-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof said Israeli settlers had blocked him during his visit this spring to a few Palestinian villages, one of which has been cleansed of its residents since. </p>
<p>Kristof wrote on X: “I visited these Palestinian villages in the spring. Families were still struggling to farm the land of their ancestors despite repeated violent attacks by settlers.”</p>
<p>“The settlers also blocked me but left when I tried to interview them. What do you call this but ethnic cleansing?”</p>
<p>Kristof’s remarks came in reaction to a video posted by Yehuda Shaul, co-director of the Ofek Center and co-founder of Breaking the Silence, which shows the demolition of a Palestinian village of Khirbat al-Tabban in Masafer Yatta by Israeli authorities.</p>
<p>Shaul warned that without serious international pushback, Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich's political agenda would lead to the destruction of more Palestinian communities in the area.</p>
<p>Masafer Yatta, a cluster of Palestinian hamlets in the South Hebron Hills, has faced a longstanding Israeli military campaign to displace residents under the pretext of using the land as a firing zone.</p>
