@theguardian.com quoted @doritreiss.bsky.social about the nomination of an anti-vaxxer to lead the CDC: "It gives them a microphone… to express their views and promote this information."

I am nearly certain she meant "disinformation," the intentional spread of knowingly false information.

“Indescribable.” Great article by @fotoole.bsky.social

It captures humanely, succinctly, and deeply the tragedy of the Irish famine.

If you want to understand the forces that shape today's whirlwind, look no further.

⬛ Remembering Jimmy Carter ⬛

During my return flight from a conference, President Carter boarded the same plane.

What I tell my kids is that when President Carter heard I was on the plane, he came to introduce himself.

They’ll figure it out… for now their gaze of awe is priceless.
