My talk at Garrett College last night focused mostly on a 5-year-old American citizen and her American mother and grandmother, imprisoned by the Nazis in WW2. They were then separated for almost 10 years.
Still think it can't happen here?

Please note, confirmations are still coming in. We are working hard to crowd source exactly who all got notices last night.
Some won’t know till snail mail comes in days.
It is a mess.
Stay tuned to @firedbutfighting.bsky.social a group of illegally fired CDC staff and their allies for updates.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

I ask my students not to use AI because it means they are not fully engaging with their own learning. If they do, it’s a betrayal of my trust.

Trump clearly decided that rapid identification of public health threats to the U.S. is something that only Democrats want.

Public health largely began in the military because once upon a time, leaders understood that disease is the greatest threat to militarily readiness. That’s over.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS.

This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.
