AOC is propagating dangerous nonsense about MAHA: That it’s “not partisan,” driven by legitimate concerns. No. Stop it. It’s a form of extremism that stands in a long tradition of paranoid conspiracism on the Far Right, channeling vague grievances into a radical project. I spelled this out here:

The Assault on Public Health and the Self-Sabotage of a Nation
MAHA channels vague grievances into a radical project. It’s a form of extremism that stands in a long tradition of paranoid conspiracism on the Far Right. We must stop it

Indiscriminately putting ankle monitors on an entire nationality, thousands upon thousands of people living in a small community, all of whom were living here entirely legally until a few days ago when you revoked their legal status. It’s an authoritarian nightmare.

The Dutch equivalent of Cass, (except it’s a proper scientific review not pseudoscientific drivel like Cass) has wholeheartedly endorsed puberty-blockers and full gender affirming care for young trans people.

"Hundreds of federal food-safety staff have been cut, and last July the CDC narrowed FoodNet — the sentinel network that provides early warnings of foodborne illness — from eight pathogens to two, dropping cyclospora altogether."

Why we still don’t know what foods are the source of the cyclospora outbreak
“You cannot thin a system, defer the tools that would speed it up, and then wonder why the public is left guessing,” writes epidemiologist Katrine Wallace.

My latest newsletter is about how the media defines "political violence" as something that happens exclusively to politicians, and ignores its primary victims: everyone else.

Leqaa Kordia, who spent a year in ICE detention because she protested for Palestine, is free today.
Leqaa stands outside of a car with the door open. She’s wearing a dark blue hijab, beige sweatshirt, and an embroidered kuffiyeh draped over her shoulders. She smiles and gives the hand sign for victory (two fingers like a peace sign)

Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise? He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist. There is a reason you hold the line at sports.

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!
