New reporting, only on Assigned Media:

Journalist @miralazine.bsky.social brings us the story of Marisol Ordonez Vargas, a transgender immigrant detainee from Central America. She alleges mistreatment at the hands of the federal government including sexual assault and refusal of medical care.

People are trying to think of ways to be cute about this and: do not. Do not call the feds with spurious reports. Do not play word games about extra terrestrials. Simply do not interact and do not answer questions about other people and always, always, demand a judicial warrant
You don't know anyone but natural born American citizens, full stop. And if you're white and border patrol or ICE starts asking questions, you ask to see their warrant. Don't you do nazi shit.
Multiple UFW union offices received this in the mail this week. Thanks for reaching out!

This window of opportunity won't last forever. Now—while people feel urgency—is the time to organize outreach events in your community, to bring people together and put the structures in place for collective defense.

Later, it may not be possible.

Indiana is the latest to double down on banning masks … still parsing through the bill to understand exactly what this means for those who mask for their health & the health of others.

If you stopped masking, please start again. We must normalize them as a public health tool before it’s too late

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible

Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46

For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B

Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.

Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.
The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "DEIAtruth@opm.gov."

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze?

Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage.

Left: yesterday. Right: today.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

As much as we all hate #ADA for what it lacks, its meager protections are often the only thing standing between #disabled people being able to support ourselves and being forced out of work to become homeless, without access to the medical care that keeps many of us alive. It’s all eugenics.
I’ve started to wonder if repealing ADA is part of the end game. Like why should THOSE weird people get special treatment?

We are still in covid and still doing that math by hand. But it’s going to be awful to have to do that for bird flu and every other contagious illness
Remember how journalists had to cull together state level public health data to help get a national picture during COVID, because the feds dropped the ball?

Yeah, we might have to do that for everything.
NEW—Trump WH has blocked all CDC science reports (eg MMWR) & suspended all CDC / FDA / NIH external communications of all HHS agencies until further notice... including all FDA & CDC Health Alert warnings & all social media. Public health be damned.

The quickest way to hate art is to try to make it your job and fail at it. It’s ok not to try to monetize a hobby. It’s ok to have a side thing that you don’t take too seriously. It’s ok not to make leap to full time art until you’re 100% ready - even if that never happens.
If you're seeing a lot of professional artists or small businesses push for people to understand that keeping your art as a hobby is ok- it's not because we're looking to block competition. It's because we are seeing a broad scale of investment-to-failure ESPECIALLY amongst beginners.
