I am so grateful for everyone on the ground fighting these atrocities. Afterwards, there must be trials.

These stories about ICE’s cruelty to children … As a mother I find them almost physically painful.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 10h

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

NHANES gave the first clear evidence that too many Americans had too much lead in their blood leading to unleaded gasoline requirements, and its data are part of children's growth charts ubiquitous in pediatricians' offices.

It’s true, we do.

The damage is just unending.

They just killed NHANES.

Every US public health student learns about this study.

It’s given us all sorts of important knowledge about the health of Americans and they just ended it.

Ugh... This study has existed for decades, providing valuable health data for all sorts of topics and publications. This is just more awful news. 🛟😷 Sociology medsky

I'd love to hear from anyone who has been at agencies protecting public health this year (eg CDC, HHS, HRSA, HUD, NIH, OSHA). Privacy respected. Signal is AmyMaxmen.25

🧵Here's a thread of some of my stories this year on the impact of the Trump administration on America's public health.

Hi! I'm a public health reporter moving from THERE to here. Give me a follow if you're interested in my writing & take:

Public health isn't only about outbreaks & vaccines. It's about making society healthier outside of clinics. It requires systemic change, equity, a belief in the common good.

Placing a few women, people of color, or a person with a disability on stage for the formal photo-opp, when only white men are in the leading roles, is not inclusion or diversity, it’s “diversity-washing”, diversion and deception. 🤬

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.

This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for).

This was twenty-three months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 16,365 kids since.

November 7, 2023 — Kids in Gaza host a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life.

“We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.”

At the time, Israel forces had killed over 4,200 kids like these.

That's quite the chart annotation.

www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A chart of "Major concerns of PhD candidates." The top text says, "Financial pressures top the list of concerns faced by PhD candidates, but concerns differ among the sexes. Those studying in the United States rank the political landscape as their main worry." The chart shows that in the full survey, political landscape is the biggest concern for about 20% of students (a bit higher for women than men) but there's an annotation saying "In US PhD students, this rose to 64%". Overall, the highest-rated concern was financial pressures at around 40%.
