“Deadly diseases don’t bother with borders; no wall will keep them out. If America stays the course, 'Something went wrong' will become the epitaph of a great country, one that once led the world in global health preparedness,” Craig Spencer writes:

The Oval Office meeting today between Trump and Zelensky “reeked of a planned attack,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.” theatln.tc/5tozgdyn

Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” has won a Grammy for Album of the Year. The album, @skornhaber.bsky.social wrote in April, might be the most American story of all—about survival through reinvention:

This Is What an Album Needs to Do Right Now
Beyoncé’s "Cowboy Carter" is an exploration of country—not just the musical genre, but America itself.

Data on the CDC's website are being removed to comply with the Trump administration’s ongoing attempt to scrub federal agencies of any mention of gender, DEI, and accessibility, Katherine J. Wu reports:

🚨 If you think this administration isn't attacking science & vaccines, think again. They’ve now scrubbed all ACIP slides. First, they erase the data. Then, manipulate it to fit their narrative—this time, undermining vaccine safety. We’ve seen this playbook before. #ScienceMatters #VaccinesSaveLives

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com. Among the data being scrubbed is “the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…” www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

We’re all living in his Kafkaesque world, but remember that these tactics are deployed first against the most vulnerable, including refugees, migrants, and prisoners, from domestic prisons to Guantanamo, as well as those subject to war and genocide in the name of freedom and democracy.

#Weihnachtsmarkt in #Basel #Switzerland on #Samichlaustag. Xmas Markets in Basel were more cozy and charming than what I have experienced in Zurich. One setback, they close pretty early- 8:30 pm! When you’re here tho, the #chäsbängel is a must! Good night Bluesky 🦋🌙 #TGIF #foodie #travel #christmas

Hello Bluesky 🥾 Sending y’all a digital postcard from the 5 Lakes Hike near #Pizol I did back in Oct 2022. I remember taking a spontaneous personal day bc the weather was too good to pass up. And boy, was it worth it! Say no to #burnout and yes to your #mentalhealth! #hiking #Switzerland #nature

Good morning Bluesky! 🍂 🥾 Best cure for a foggy headspace: get outdoors! This #hike up to #Leistchamm is as humbling as the view over #Walensee is beautiful. Best part is by the time you reach the top, the fog is burned off 🔥 literally & figuratively 😌 #freshair #nature #Switzerland #newheights

Reminiscing my first trip to South Korea 🇰🇷 last month 🍂. My K-wave consumption from my screen was suddenly at my feet & I was living it. What a beautiful, complex, haunting & vibrant place full of juxtapositions. So much left to discover & experience. Until next time 🫰🏼
