Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.

I would mention libraries, but…

The digital nature of our economy blurs some statuses that used to be more clear, but what this means is that capital is, more than ever, concentrated in the hands of a few.

Secretary Talk Show Host may have been experiencing the "fog of war," but that doesn't change the fact that this was an extrajudicial killing amounting to murder or a war crime.

One thing is clear: Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve.

He must resign.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

In a functional vaccine regulatory system there would be full data transparency & structured review of vax benefits & harms. That's not what we have now in the US.

👉FDA & ACIP have abandoned science for ideology. It will take many years to rebuild the regulatory infrastructure & regain public trust
When people prioritize ideology and political agendas over scientific evidence, they focus only on the side that supports their position. Case in point: Prasad's memo uses unsupported claims of dead children to justify ignoring the many benefits of COVID vaccination
Prasad's memo focuses only on the potential risks of vaccines, without considering their benefits or citing how many lives they have saved, says @angierasmussen.bsky.social. One estimate finds vaccines saved the lives of 299 children from 2020 to 2024.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.
