Nearly half of the databases that the CDC used to update regularly — surveillance systems that tracked public health information like Covid vaccination rates and hospitalizations for respiratory syncytial virus — have been paused without explanation, according to new research.
Dozens of CDC databases are not being updated — most related to vaccines, study finds
The agency plays a key role in tracking the disease spread and vaccination rates. Last year, it seemed to back away from some of that work, according to new research.

One big lesson in writing this article: In states where filing deadlines have already passed, many offices are uncontested.

In NC, 28 of 39 prosecutor races only have one candidate.
In AR, it's 20 of 28.

But: Deadlines are still in the future in most places. Hence it's Important to look now.
NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.

These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*

So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

Read, & check out our maps:

With roughly 2,400 elections for prosecutor and sheriff this year, Bolts reviews the map and early hotspots that will shape criminal punishment and law enforcement practices.

Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime.

I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

A thread:

In my a new post I talk about how JD Vance and Stephen Miller have been responsible for the two biggest political disasters of Trump's second term so far - Greenland and Minnesota. Their "rules no longer apply to us" project is taking a huge, deserved hit.

Everyone needs to be calling Congress today - they need to hear from us. Loud and proud!

Local, independent, non-profit journalists. Human rights activists & lawyers (like myself) to document & bear witness.

Corporate media is dead. They have failed. But local media funded by We the People is growing. Join our efforts for truth & justice. Let's go.

If we had told them we are holding an event to condemn Muslims and burn a Qur'an or hate Jews and spread antisemitism or denounce Christianity or threaten one another—corporate media would have fought each other for a front row shot.

But unity against fascism? Crickets.

But who did show up?

Short thread

Today in MN is a perfect example of why I ask y'all to subscribe to my human rights advocacy.

Corporate media knew MN interfaith leaders were coordinating a historic protest with thousands of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus & non-believers working TOGETHER.

And none showed up.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".
