Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago

Jeannie Suk Gersen, writing in the @newyorker.com, is as usual terrific. She also brings more than the usual credibility to the topic, having defended Harvard's independence from the Obama administration during the Title IX wars. bsky.app/profile/amyc...
The point of the Administration’s moves is not to combat antisemitism, racism, or sexism, or promote free inquiry and the diversity of viewpoints. The goal is rather to bring the university, as a representative of major institutions of civil society, to its knees.

Why Harvard Decided to Challenge Donald Trump
Universities are accustomed to acquiescing to the government, but Trump made Harvard an offer it couldn’t not refuse.

Why does Elon get to eliminate a $50 billion agency that provides life-saving services, helps stabilize countries, and helps reduce the spread of diseases in the home country and thereby here at home?
NEW: USAID may be dissolved this weekend, with Elon Musk saying it "needs to die" and the website going down yesterday.
"They're trying to eliminate the agency," @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social said.
It could be a test for other agencies in conservative crosshairs.

Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?
Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'

Today the government pulled all contraception, sex information, abortion information, lgbtq+ information off their wevsites. They removed the guidelines our OBGYN society and other specialties use to guide which contraceptive options and sexually transmitted disease treatment options.

Beyond birth statistics: Why measuring caesarean rates misses the mark
As a standalone statistic, the rate of ‘low risk’ caesarean births lacks the nuance needed to inform and improve individual care. Childbirth metrics must adopt a broader, patient-centred perspective.
