Bird flu surges among poultry amid a scaled back federal response
Migrating wild birds are spreading the virus to domesticated flocks, increasing the risk of eventually seeing a human outbreak. Scientists are troubled by the muted federal response.

Alright, fine, I shall take this wholesome rivalry
I have confirmed reports that Blue Jays fans have been donating to children’s hospitals and charitable orgs in Seattle as a gesture of goodwill after the Blue Jays beat the Mariners in game seven, which is the most Canadian thing I’ve ever heard

If growing up watching the Mariners taught me anything, it is that you should always keep your expectations low. Sigh.

The VRA may get gutted today and the voting rights my people worked and died for may get overturned but like… life is still going on. And it feels kinda weird how the slide towards further fascist control of our nation is surrounded by mundane shit.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

The thing about health disinformation is that when it comes from the highest office, people believe it. Parents & pregnant women want to do the right thing but are now making health decisions based on fear.
This is causing real harm.
It's also making our jobs as healthcare professionals harder.

There are several midwest and mountain states who have collaboration potential.

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

The normalization of the fascist anti-science, eugenicist platform is nauseating and devastating. And also, because I absolutely refuse to let this reality destroy my sense of humor, all this talk about the "cause of autism" makes me think of this classic KITH sketch: youtu.be/qN7be1ADhKI?...
