Yesterday I attended the #SciencePolicyAtACrossroads Symposium at @denvermuseumns.bsky.social with Shreya, my fellow SNAPper (@snapcoalition.bsky.social)!! I learned a lot about science policy in CO and met some amazing individuals- grateful to be expanding my network.

Today CBP officers executed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37 year old nurse who worked at the VA. He was an observer, he was restrained and he was on the ground.
The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."
Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says
A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

A very basic test here is not just whether vaccines are technically available, but too onerous to access for most people. We absolutely know that making services more burdensome is a de facto reduction to access.
“Americans need to confront their cowardly elected officials before the vaccines that have saved more than 150 million lives globally in the last half century become unobtainable… [or] suffer the painful lesson that politics and incompetence cause far more side effects than any vaccine ever could.”
