“the hope is to raise enough money to keep GMRLN in existence into next year, to tide it over while people work to develop and secure funding for a newer version of the network that does surveillance for a broader range of pathogens — things like dengue, yellow fever, and SARS-CoV-2”
There's an effort afoot to try to save #GMRLN (pronounced Gremlin), the global #measles & #rubella lab surveillance network that was reliant on US funding that has disappeared. It costs a pittance, in global health terms, to run. Its loss would be huge. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/t...

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.
They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

I just listened to his interview with @briantylercohen.bsky.social on YouTube and I am very impressed.
For 17 years, I served in secret, protecting us from threats like Russia, foreign terrorists and drug cartels, and eventually the insurrectionists who stormed our Capitol.
Now, I’m stepping out of the shadows to run for Congress.

All foragers should know the history of foraging laws are rooted in classism, racism, and imperialism. When a cop tell you to get off public property that is what he is enforcing.

Papua New Guinea blocks Facebook, citing ‘test’ against harmful content
Listen to article Papua New Guinea’s government has blocked Facebook, saying the move is a "test" aimed at curbing misinformation, hate speech, and explicit content. The shutdown, enforced under the country’s anti-terrorism laws, began on Monday and has continued into Tuesday. Authorities have not confirmed when access will be restored. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from opposition lawmakers, media groups, and business leaders, who argue it undermines free speech and disrupts economic activity.
