Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Boelter seems to be associated with the authoritarian, charismatic Christian right.

2 months ago, The Christ for The Nations Institute (CFNI) honored Cindy Jacobs, a top apostle and prophet in the theocratic New Apostolic Reformation movement.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years.

We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power. 

If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

I was told by dozens of academics that they were too scared to talk to me for my reporting on the NIH’s sweeping cancellations of LGBTQ-related research grants. Those who did talk to me did so because they had nothing left to lose or were quite senior in their careers.
The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

Gone from the Naval Academy library after Trump book purge: "Memorializing the Holocaust."

Still on the shelves: Two copies of "Mein Kampf."

Who’s In and Who’s Out at the Naval Academy’s Library?
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power.

There's always a long lag time with HIV transmission estimates from CDC m, so all we know is that HIV transmissions declined by an estimated 12% between 2018 and 2022 and 20% in EHE target counties. This is a modest overall decline compared with steep recent declines in other wealthy nations.

It is unclear whether the CDC would simply stop surveillance of HIV under Trump.

NEWS: A source has leaked a document to me that details the Trump administration's plans for overhauling HHS and its proposed 2026 budget. This includes eliminating all funding for the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) plan that Trump endorsed in his 2019 State of the Union.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
