This is incredibly, incredibly sad. It was one of the world’s leading public health institutions, but the kooks who Trump hired into federal health leadership positions have done all they can to dismantle it.
Handed a patient a printout of a CDC summary.

They were suspicious.

I pointed out the publication date.

It was from 2024.

“Oh, ok, so this is from when we could trust them.”

I’m the parent of an autistic kid. What CDC is doing here is offensive.

It’s offensive to me. It says his autism is the result of my ignoring evidence.

It’s offensive to my kid. It says there’s something wrong with him (there’s not) and it would be better to risk literal death than be autistic.
Initially, some moms of autistic kids eagerly accepted vaccine lies, because that way they could reject the "refrigerator mother" hypothesis, which blamed autism on "cold" mothering.

Now, those same tired vaccine lies will likely be used to blame moms who choose to vaccinate their kids.

Nice interview re: Burns' new Revolutionary War doc--caught the 1st episode; found it illuminating.

"You cannot understate the importance of the changes to romanticized ideas abt the Revolution. It is still encrusted w/ the barnacles of sentimentality and nostalgia, & we don’t accept its violence."
Ken Burns Knows Who Won the American Revolution: “Ne’er-Do-Wells, Felons, and Immigrants”
“​​I vowed after ‘The Civil War’ not to do any more war films,” says the master documentarian. “It hurt too much.” Lucky for us, he couldn’t keep his promise—paving the way for The American Revolution...

I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him.

Anyway, go read his interview with the biggest Spanish newspaper here: english.elpais.com/technology/2...

A draft-version of Trump’s National Security Strategy obsesses over the 'cultural health' of the US & Western civilization.

@swin24.bsky.social & @premthakker.bsky.social break down how Trump’s unpublished NSS feels like a diatribe against migration & cultural erasure.

ERISA won't save you. The ACA market entering a death spiral will cause massive failures in the health care delivery system. Even more hospitals will close. Rural clinics will go under. Entire practices will be sold to venture capital.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.
BREAKING

The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.

The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is incredibly important:

we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself

and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats

we must be relentless, we must not shut up

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Nancy Mace is now pushing anti-gay slogans from the 80s.

“Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” she said on twitter, despite having voted for gay marriage twice.

Anti-trans panic always spreads to the rest of the LGBTQ+ community.
