Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

Customs and Border Patrol denied a French scientist entry to the U.S. because they found messages on his phone criticizing Trump’s science cuts.
Apparently saying that canceling cancer research is bad can now be classified as terrorism. Chilling.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

It's not being alarmist that this right here is causing a lot of concern in Epidemiology/ID circles 👇👇👇👇
And human flu season beginning, with so many potential reassortment events. Hopefully we'll get lucky but damn, stakes are high if we're not.
One mutation. One single mutation. In an environment in which H5N1 is infecting multiple species (including humans) and a vast total number of infections.

Can’t overstate how dangerous it is that vaccine denial has completely captured one of the two major parties. We’re an election or two from unraveling one of humanity’s greatest achievements. The potential long tail damage is millions of preventable deaths. Just absolutely bonkers.
