"The agreement does not resolve two separate lawsuits challenging New Hampshire laws that seek to ban diversity and equity initiatives in schools and limit teaching on racism and discrimination." @annmarietimmins.bsky.social @nhpr.org
Screenshot of text: The National Education Association of New Hampshire, several school districts, and civil rights groups sued the state in August over a new law that prohibits any DEI initiatives in schools and public agencies that take steps to improve outcomes for individuals who are grouped by age, sex, gender identity, race, or disability. Schools face funding cuts if they violate the law, which was tucked into the state budget last year by Republicans.

"In the United States, where I write today, #science & #immigrants are both under attack...extraordinarily cruel measures are being implemented to chase out & deport immigrants exactly like Constantine would have been a millennium ago." @monicamedhist.bsky.social
Screenshot of text: In the United States, where I write today, science and immigrants are both under attack. The entire system of public health infrastructures—from vaccines to food safety to environmental protections—is being dismantled at the same time that extraordinarily cruel measures are being implemented to chase out and deport immigrants exactly like Constantine would have been a millennium ago.

"As paleogenomics offers us, for the first time, the opportunity to construct long evolutionary histories of the world’s most impactful diseases, we have the opportunity to rethink what it means for pathogens to be 'tethered' to our histories." @monicamedhist.bsky.social
Screenshot of text: Like leprosy, syphilis has been a disease that, at least once it manifested in Europe at the end of the 15th century, elicited stigma and ostracization. But to say that hatred or bigotry are perennial companions of infectious disease shows an unawareness of history. Reactions have never been uniform. Bioarchaeology repeatedly gives us examples of care rather than ostracism; the historical record is increasingly giving us evidence of communalism in the face of overwhelming pandemic onslaughts, not just anarchy and accusations (Green 2025b).
