Good morning! Let’s start the week with some good news: Maine successfully challenged Trump’s attempt to freeze $1.8 million in school lunch funding over transgender rights.

this is legitimately evil
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Nobody asks, "well, what age group teenagers, and what SHOULD it be?" They just pretend to know like that's not normal. There's a possibility that they may know, these are the same people who are saying vaccines cause autism, so I really doubt it.

Things that make you say "hmm..." 🤔🤣
Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

1/ 🔒 Imagine a private company embedded in gov systems—processing and analyzing your health records, immigration status, and social media use.

That’s Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel, who once said, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” Yikes.

Let’s discuss 🧵
ICE Is Paying Palantir $30 Million to Build ‘ImmigrationOS’ Surveillance Platform
In a document published Thursday, ICE explained the functions that it expects Palantir to include in a prototype of a new program to give the agency “near real-time” data about people self-deporting.
