Great article by @drjudystone.bsky.social about the impact cuts to government agencies are having on global health.
It was also noted that some international scientists refused to attend this conference because of ICE and racial profiling.
I am so deeply ashamed of our government.

Reminders Of What Our Losses From CDC And USAID Mean
With the loss of USAID and much of CDC, our ability to respond to pandemics is at risk. Global health issues are a growing threat.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

But I thought MAGA was against antisemitism. (Wide innocent eyes)
Three things:
1) No longer classifying swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as hate symbols is quite bad, and in line with many other actions from this admin.
2) Congrats to the cancel culture moral panickers.
3) I don't think a good political response to this is to shrug at Nazi tattoos.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

On a similar note, if "you're just against Israel", you would chant "localize the intifada."
When you chant *globalize* the intifada, meaning "make it worldwide" you are saying you plan to murder *your* Jewish neighbors.

Trump just pardoned a man convicted for helping China stalk and intimidate dissidents in New Jersey.
Who benefits from that?
Because unless we’re missing something, it looks like Beijing may just have gotten its money’s worth.👇

Goddard has always been one of my favorite NASA centers. The work they do is so cool and the folks there are incredible.
This truly gutted me. 😢

Reposting to correct an error: trump admin is quietly gutting 13 buildings and about 100 laboratories at Goddard campus that has been instrumental to Hubble and James Webb telescope missions. Staff say they’ve be locked and told to move equipment. Anything left behind will be thrown away.
