Yesterday's attack in Boulder, CO did not occur in a vacuum. It is the result of increasingly normalized and mainstreamed antisemitism that threatens not just Jews, but all communities—and the very fabric of our democracy. Our CEO, @amyspitalnick.bsky.social, on @msnbc.com with Chris Jansing.

If you are looking for a way to stand in solidarity with the Jewish community after the horrific terrorist attack in Boulder yesterday, I might suggest joining next week's local Run for Their Lives event near you. They happen every Sunday, all over the world

The thing that is so excellent about being Jewish is we have a major holiday that is primarily devoted to dairy. We spend all day eating cheese, cheesecake, yogurt, etc. It's cheese day.

In other probably unrelated news, I do not feel well.

Happy Shavuot!

We killed an ENTIRE FLU with bandanas and going shopping less. The flu could kill me but I assume you don't want the flu, either.

With improved HVAC systems, we don't even need to go shopping less. A better world is possible with collective effort.

We should have a memorial day for COVID. It is horrific that we as a society have done virtually nothing to remember the millions who have died. Rushing to forget what happened also makes it much more likely that we will continue to repeat our deadly mistakes.

This is a great read from @walkerbragman.bsky.social on the real reasons—and they are not good—for why COVID19 vaccines are now being restricted.

I’d love to see their data! Cause this has been studied by actual scientists & the decline in American life expectancy has ACTUALLY been driven largely by:

-guns
-illicit drugs
-COVID
-lack of healthcare access

And our horrible maternal mortality rates are driven by abortion restrictions & racism.
The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.
White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health
Parts of the “MAHA report” contradict scientific consensus.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Comment the fuck out of this one, folks. The advisory committee is meeting Thursday without the typical 15 days' notice because of "technical" issues but comments you submit by May 23 must still be taken into consideration by the FDA.
Sure due process is cool and the word habeau corus is edgy, buy have you heard the FDA is pulling approval for thr covid vaccine for everyone umder 65?

So 2 million more of us can die next covid season?

I truly hope you never have to sit down and think about what you need to do and how far you would go to protect your children. May your life always be as simple as you believe it is.
May 21, 2025 at 3:57 PM
"I'm mad at you for losing an election so now you shouldn't be able to have my help protecting your children from the fascists who took over your country" is such an odd position to take. Good luck with that I guess.

In light of #HHS and #CDC being corrupted by antivax lunatics to alter recommendations for pregnant women and children to be vaccinated for #covid, here's a throwback to me at 7 months pregnant bringing covid shots to a local street fair in 2021 to help reach people without access to care. #GetVaxed

The ICC chief prosecutor has been credibly accused of sexual assault, of rushing to issue unjustified arrest warrants in order to deflect attention from the investigation, and of using his attack on Israel to attempt to shame his victim into silence. This isn't the hill you want to die on...

This decision is antithetical to public health. COVID-19 in pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, is extremely dangerous and aside from the elderly infants younger than 6 months have the highest risk of hospitalization from COVID. They are critically dependent on maternal antibodies.

#SAEM25 was such a lovely and strange mix of emotions. It is devastating to see very senior experienced researchers lament not knowing how to pay the bills for their research programs after fascists took their money. But it lifted me up to see them completely undeterred from doing the work anyway.
