This is quite scary….
There are so many unforgivable actions of capitulation being taken by the institutions most well-positioned to stand up to Trump’s authoritarianism if they wished to do so.

Met Éireann data shows 0.0 hours of sunshine at Dublin Airport yesterday, 11th day in a row. Research by @sryanbruen.bsky.social shows this equals the longest running sunless streak since records began in 1942. Last time it happened was March 1969. Some sun today before heavy rain returns.

You know the outcome of this will be when there is any outbreak of flu (or other viruses that require vaccines)in the U.S. .. other countries will limit entry to those not vaccinated! And rightly so… #vaccines
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now
