Trained as toxicologist. Now I write. New book, Blight: Fungi and the Coming Pandemic. Next book, Toxic Legacy: from early Earth to the industrial age why some chemicals are more harmful than others. Also think about non traditional ways to do science 🧪

🚨ACTION ALERT:
The Senate is voting to fund ICE next week. There shouldn't be a single vote to provide more funding for murdering American citizens.
It's time to defund ICE.

TODAY IN MINNESOTA: Hundreds of thousands marched through Minneapolis in -10°F, shutting down the city to demand ICE the fuck out of the Twin Cities. People risked frostbite just to make their point. The entire country should be ashamed if they don’t follow.

A pediatric cardiologist being against vaccines? I fucking hate him. My kid would be dead without vaccines.
The new chair of the #ACIP was on the Why Should I Trust You? podcast. The interview was ... enlightening. Among other things, Kirk Milhoan seemed to question whether kids still need to be vaccinated against polio & said he doesn't like “established science.” www.statnews.com/2026/01/22/v...

This hurts my brain and my heart.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I recently heard historian Robert Kagan say: “What's at risk right now is literally our democracy in the sense that I don't think Trump is going to allow free and fair elections in 2026.”
My job is to fight in court to prove him wrong even while I fear he may be right.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.
