nothing can replace the CDC, not even interstate collaborations. all our lives and our health is at risk, even in the high tax blue states

this. and states are already under tremendous additional pressure from other federal cuts (like to medicaid and WIC). most of this federal public health capacity will not be picked back up. generational damage

Rick Weinmeyer @rickweinmeyer.bsky.social · 8h

This assumes that state and local public health agencies are well funded. They are not. And the regional disparities are stark, so interstate collaboration will almost certainly drift towards those states that have better resources.

oh wow look it's the exact thing every single person who works in public health ethics said was a risk with wastewater surveillance especially when we took it to the point where we had researchers trying to identify individual chronic infections using social media and crowdsourcing

I don't even care that much about the Maine race, but the whining from the "primary everyone" crowd about a contested primary is negatively polarizing me here. Just win the primary, man.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

I was going to bring a more normal sign but now thinking about MIKE JOHNSON MONITORS HIS SON’S PORN HABITS or MIKE JOHNSON LIVES IN A SEX CREEP’S BASEMENT

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 21h

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 22h

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Not good the extent to which they’re now equating nonprofits with Jewish leadership (soros, indivisible, jvp, ifnotnow) with terror orgs. Loooot of focus on that on their target list

Black families tend to have strong preferences against nursing homes, usually driven by concerns of inadequate care. Seeing that Black nursing home patients have significantly worse outcomes, and that they are driven by *within-nursing home* differences in care, confirms this suspicion.

NBER @nber.org · 23h

Nursing home value-added for black patients is 30 percent lower than for white patients, with most of the gap reflecting differences within, rather than across, nursing homes, from Liran Einav, Amy Finkelstein, @nealemahoney.bsky.social, and James C. Okun www.nber.org/papers/w34324

The fact that their ticket was mysteriously canceled the day before and then they were questioned by DHS is both one of the greatest political scandals and crises of my lifetime and just another fucking Thursday in 2025.

Mark Bray and Yesenia Barragan, and the family, have safely embarked on their trip to Spain after being questioned by DHS.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
