The days of discreetly engaging in nerdy hobbies for fear of ridicule are long gone, thanks to LGS — or local game stores.

Perspective matters! @ourworldindata.org's report reveals how #MainstreamMedia amplifies rare tragedies while ignoring the real causes of death affecting millions. Fear sells, truth saves. Research and question what you see. #MediaBias

Infographic by "Our World in Data", comparing U.S. causes of death in 2023 with media coverage by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News. Shows heart disease and cancer as leading causes but underreported, while terrorism and homicide are heavily covered despite low death rates.

Any society that divests from science is a bad one.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Public health is not partisan. It is health for the public.

That means all of us.

Defend Public Health.

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

Public health is dead and republicans killed it.

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.
