Very worried we are in for more of these cases, as trust in health institutions continues to plummet and we see the general discourse in nutrition devolve in the most extreme version of good/bad thinking that we've ever seen.
A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.”

Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

So, MAGA hates Muslims and wants to kick us out but is fine with Saudi Arabia and Qatar buying up America and owning the Trump family?

NO VACCINE WILL GIVE YOU A WORSE EXPERIENCE THAN THE DISEASE WILL.

These are people who complain about medicine tasting bad.

Grow up.
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Trump created the tariff crisis and now wants to swoop in as the “solution.” He’s rolling out a $12 billion bailout for farmers (many of whom are among his most loyal supporters) after his own trade war damaged their livelihoods and pushed them into financial hardship.

I’m sorry, the idea that Netflix owning a studio is somehow more anti-competitive than Paramount owning a second studio plus a second tranche of cable networks — including ~half of the national television news output — is laughable.

Last week I wrote about why this is in the "make up a dumb new idea to generate free PR" category of legislation. The enforcement is nonsensical. You don't renounce citizenship to the US govt, you do it to the govt of which you hold that 2nd citizenship, the US has no database of dual citizens, etc.
After right-wing podcast hosts spent months calling for the total end of dual citizenship, GOP efforts to reject dual citizenships are escalating.

This is horrific and exactly what those of us in Black studies, gender studies, women’s studies have been warning our colleagues in the sciences about. Their seeming neutrality will not save them.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

So not a single journalist in the room pointed out that this is completely contrary to the president he serves who pardoned, en masse, people who attacked American citizens.

This is journalistic malpractice.

Gutting Texas’s HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) program and removing women and minorities from the program is abhorrent. Greg Abbott and Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock’s policies are hurting small BUSINESS owners across the State. #txlege

One note about the Texas stay order:

Although SCOTUS granted the stay, it did not go ahead & note probable jurisdiction (i.e., agree to hear the case on the merits). While it is all but certain the court will take the case, there will first be another round of briefing. #txlege
