Yonatan Zeigen's mother, Vivian Silver, was a peace activist killed on Oct 7th. Her son, instead of turning to hate, has now taken up her cause of peace. He's featured in film Resister Pour La Paix, & joins an upcoming virtual Q&A session 4/27.
What would you ask Yonaton?

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.
The more we build community, the less it can take root.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Thank you for doing the right thing.
A USAID HR director sent out this email today to staff letting them know he was placed on administrative leave.
“Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees.”
