Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr.

CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Language oppression is all about control. Welsh Nots a classic example,(from FB). I can't help but think of te reo Māori and the cr*p going on here. Re-Anglicising signs, govt dept names, passports. What a waste of $ trying to remove our bilingual heritage #nzpol #nz #cymru #language #tereoMāori

This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history. How did he do it? NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs. Socialism works

Which means either: 1) The bombings did only superficial damage to the sites. 2) The sites had already been evacuated of fissile material. In either case, the attacks failed, at most delaying Iran's ability to finish a bomb while guaranteeing their resolve to do so.

Following attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran - including Fordow - the IAEA can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time.
IAEA will provide further assessments on situation in Iran as more information becomes available.

This is a map of Los Angeles. The arrow points to a red dot. That red dot (roughly) represents the protest area seen on TV. To me, the gross mischaracterization of what’s happening in Los Angeles looks like an excuse to deploy the military—to protect government assets like ICE.

A map of Los Angeles is posted to illustrate just how large the city is. Near the area labeled “downtown” on the map, is a tiny red dot. That represents the area where protests are happening and that are being shown on TV. The dot is so small it would not be seen if I had not drawn an arrow towards it.

Going to be interesting to see which parcel gets there first. Both my SS gift giver & I posted our parcels with 10 mins of each other on same day. One is being shipped over 700km across the motu the other 7km across the city. I'm betting the long distant one arrives first 😉 #MWSecretSantaAoNZ
