Thought I'd collect names for an ME/CFS Starter Pack: patients, advocates, researchers. For #diagnostics and #treatment for #ME/CFS, #LongCOVID, #Fibromyalgia, #POTS, and other related multisystem diseases. Send me a note to include.

How much would you charge a stranger to kill your child?

If you think parents shouldn't have to vax their kids, but say families of disabled children killed by preventable disease can sue, you're pricing their lives.

That's what tort liability is: a dollar amount that makes a dead child acceptable
"What's actually being offered as a substitute for vax requirements: a wrongful death judgment that cannot be collected, obtained through litigation that cannot be funded, requiring proof of causation that cannot be established, filed after a death that should not have occurred."

This altered video, which is from 2025, is disinformation — @wyden.senate.gov has never said that Donald Trump did 4,725 wire transfers with Epstein.

There are days when that happens, or someone shows us a filament purchase that came with a gift note from another country, or y'all are donating to the ProtoPasta fund from Canada or the UK or...

Just, thank you. Shit is bleak & exhausting over here but y'all make us feel less alone.

Every time I hear something new about the whistles I start crying I stg.

As this article notes, they started as a tactic in LA and are supported by a network of disorganized volunteers who are, as Bree's skeet demonstrates, global

We need fewer smug Europeans posting "why aren't those docile Americans protesting?" and more Europeans asking themselves "how can I support the people in America who VERY MUCH ARE protesting?"
I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.

If you are on makerworld, please go boost this model just to give our comrade what he deserves. Even if you're not printing whistles.

I've boosted it all I can.

I'm sure there are others out there who have the expertise to collaborate to analyze participant-level omics data or contribute new discoveries, but it is hard to work out the path to doing this unless they are already embedded in the project....

#RECOVER has collected an extraordinary dataset: adult and pediatric cohorts, deep longitudinal phenotyping, biosamples, and multi-omic data at national scale. But, years in, there is still no practical way for independent researchers to be able to connect to RECOVER to bring their expertise.

This is a bit of a rant, I know; I’m just genuinely frustrated by the lack of pathways to obtain access to omics data from #LongCovid data from the #NIH #RECOVER project.

Last month, the administration reversed massive cuts to to SAMHSA and CDC after public and congressional outcry. We can do that again. Call your representatives! 5/5

Last month, the admin "paused" ALL Public Health Infrastructure Grants. Now most PHIGs in the four states are on the list. There are some notable exceptions: Mostly what appear to be in Republican-leaning areas, including the district Jeff Crank (R-CO).

These highlighted programs are doing important work, but they only make up about 5% of the cuts. The vast majority of the planned cuts are to basic public health infrastructure: things like recruitment, training, and IT systems for local health departments. 3/5

The administration circulated a list of "examples" of grants to be terminated. They pulled the most lurid "DEI" language from grant and program language for these examples, and this language has been repeated in news stories for the past week. 2/5

The Trump administration is planning to terminate $600M of CDC grants to CA, CO, MN, and IL. We're publishing the full list.

They are using vulnerable communities as a weapon to dismantle public health, targeting partisan enemies, and manipulating media. 🧵 1/5

The blowback is from billionaires like Koch & ex-Enron crook (& backer of Oster & V. Prasad) John Arnold, who are dictating Democrat policy via the “Abundance” grift helmed by Ezra Klein, who claimed Charlie Kirk “was practicing politics the right way.” They will dictate the platform, not D voters.
And here's today's NYT headline on an article about reform proposals that enjoy supermajority support but that are disliked by Mike Johnson. The article provides no polling about the proposals.
