the gutting of the national center for health statistics should be considered its own five alarm fire

❌ Office of Information Sevices (communications)
❌ Office of the Director for the Division of Vital Statistics, which is now without all leadership

For several years now, I have been talking about how we need to bring back shame. Shame is indeed Good Actually. Great read!
"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

My first month of teaching (and as a professor) felt like drinking out of a fire hose. Now it’s like drinking out of a garden hose which is better, but is still a lot of water.

Exactly. And let’s be clear that when the right came for mostly Black & Brown women & queer professors, the left & universities didn’t protect us. The right used us as targets before they went to CRT, DEI, universities generally & now broader culture. They let us be harmed & now it’s harming them
![Screenshot of professor watchlist page that says: Dr. Subini Ancy Annamma is an Associate Professor of Education at Stanford University. Following the controversial killing of an unarmed black woman by police officers in Seattle, Annamma tweeted that, “The systemic violence that killed Charleena Lyles is the very foundation of the country.” She then went even further by saying, “There is no time to return to make America great again, unless you are deeply invested in white supremacy & killing of black & brown people…to secure your own white property through racism, ableism, [and] cis-heteropatriarchy.” Her faculty bio says that her research focuses on “increasing access to equitable education for historically marginalized students and communities, particularly students of color with disabilities.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kds45jbet7t424osjnv5zlhm/bafkreicil735a7thvowdczwebtqxkfkokxs4nypcdg32njmbbjeshen7sm@jpeg)

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.
RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

Update on this story: As many of us feared, it turns out that Berkeley wasn't the only UC to release personal info on its pro-palestine anti-genocide professors to the justice department, it looks they they all did. Berkeley was just the only one to tell profs they did it.

Because politics are theoretical for them. Their lives won’t change much depending on which party is in power.
There is a clutch of pundits who treat the world like it’s an Ivy League seminar course, mostly because that’s the environment in which they emerged. They think debate and white papers are the pinnacle of political action. They fume at anyone who approaches politics in any other way.

IU sanctioned a Professor--who was previously arrested and sanctioned during a campus protest--for allegedly violating the state's "intellectual diversity" law, based on an anonymous complaint.

With a potential ban of state regulation of AI soundly defeated, states are continuing to take the lead on protecting people from the technology’s potential harms – for now.
