On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

I talked on MSNBC today about the corruption playing out at the FCC. This isn't just about Jimmy Kimmel being silenced. The FCC is planning to change the rules to allow the company that shut down Kimmel to have a monopoly-like stake in local TV ownership.

In June, an ACIP member said that 250 pediatric flu deaths were no big deal. Maybe today we will find out that a handful of hepatitis B related cancers, transplants, and deaths are also not a big deal to them either. Welcome to the new public health. We are aligned to a manifesto, not science.

This shot of the sun above The Brothers comes around twice a year. I've missed it quite a few times because of clouds, but it worked out pretty well tonight. I've been wanting to catch this alignment for a few years, so I'm glad I tried even though leaving the house was the last thing I wanted to do

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

By definition, numerical weather models require international data. The atmosphere knows no geopolitical boundaries: any model that begins and ends at its country’s border is unable to generate reliable predictions until after a weather system crosses its boundaries. Which defeats the purpose!

Yet here we are, raising our glasses of raw milk as we discuss the integrity of the polio vaccine testing. Thank you, President Carter. 🥺
Jimmy Carter’s five decades of leadership in global health brought a painful disease to the brink of elimination, helped deliver lifesaving treatments and sanitation to millions of people and set a new standard for how aid agencies should engage with the countries they assist.
Jimmy Carter’s Quiet but Monumental Work in Global Health
In his decades as a former president, he and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, helped bring lifesaving treatments and sanitation to poor people around the world.

1/ The greatest triumph of public health is also, paradoxically, its greatest challenge: When it works perfectly, it becomes invisible. We no longer see children in iron lungs, paralyzed by polio. We don't lose our siblings to diphtheria or watch our children struggle to breathe thru whooping cough
