Briefly here to say that SciTwitter is really taking off on BlueSky. Even if you don't plan to leave X (kudos to you!), I recommend u create a BlueSky account. There r good starter packs allow u to bulk-follow folks based on topics of interest. If u need help ping me on BlueSky.
If you’re still deciding between voting for Kamala Harris or Jill Stein, please take a moment to watch. I made this video with Palestinian American and political activist @RaniaBatrice We understand being conflicted but wanted to share our perspective.
From @LGreenbergCall and me on why we voted for Harris despite her commitment to arming Israel: inthesetimes.com/article/trump-…
Trump says BANNING vaccines is on the table??? Not getting rid of vaccine mandates, actually BANNING the vaccines themselves for diseases like polio and measles? That is batshit crazy.
On RFK Jr. and vaccines: DASHA: Do you think banning certain vaccines might be on the table? TRUMP: Well I'm going to talk to him and talk to other people, and I'll make a decision, but he's a very talented guy and has strong views.
George Lucas on the politics in 'Attack of the Clones' (2002) “‘How do you give away a democracy to end up with a tyrant?’ They give it away—there’s no coup, there’s no rebellion. They vote it in, which is what happens in real life”
Important.
An excess of billionaires is destabilising politics – just as academics predicted theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Imagine being in an ER, inches away from lifesaving care, and being told, “Sorry, you’re not near enough to death for me to help. I might get sent to jail.” That’s exactly what Trump abortion bans do. Vote for Kamala Harris and a Dem ticket down the line to avoid that nightmare
I want to try something new at #ASHG24 this year: I'm going to block some time on Friday afternoon to meet with any trainees who would be interested to chat on any topic.
5. Most newspaper analyses suggest that these tech authoritarians guys just want lower taxes and friendly regulations, but that's only part of the story. They have developed their own weird sci-fi influenced tech authoritarian IDEOLOGY. It overlaps with MAGA in multiple ways.
🧵I've spent this year writing for the @newrepublic about how a group of Silicon Valley billionaires has gone WEIRD. Now their weirdness is mating up with Trump's MAGA weirdness in the 2024 election. Here's a few things to understand about these guys.
Another reason to ensure robust pandemic preparedness planning now. “H5N1 bird flu found in pig, raising concern about potential human risk” statnews.com/2024/10/30/h5n…
Trump’s only policy plan is to turn the entire US government over to: -the richest oligarch on earth, so he can make massive cuts and reduce taxes and regulations on himself -a deranged conspiracy theorist who wants to abolish vaccines in favor of quack remedies

UPDATE: Ballot box fires in Vancouver, WA and Portland are connected, police say seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…
A fire caused by an “incendiary device” damaged hundreds of ballots inside a Vancouver ballot box early Monday, potentially affecting a competitive congressional race. st.news/4e7B96z
CORRECTION: The auditor's office has clarified that anyone who dropped off ballots after 11 a.m. SATURDAY needs to contact the auditor's office.
BALLOT BURNING: The Clark Co. auditor said hundreds of ballots were inside the box at the time of the burning, and maybe only a few can be saved. Voters who dropped off ballots at that location after Sunday need to contact the Auditor's Office IMMEDIATELY katu.com/news/local/van…
This is great! @NIAIDNews have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) bioart.niaid.nih.gov
“To say that the moves from Bezos and Soon-Shiong are acts of cowardliness would be a tremendous understatement, given their roles as the stewards of cherished news institutions and the fact they are amongst the most powerful people in society…” search.app/6MoyCUPfLfnwvf…
Harris’s game changing proposal to allow Medicare to pay for at home heath aides for the elderly received almost no media coverage.
What message does it send when big institutions model self-censorship? This moment will merit a paragraph in the history books as a sign of things to come.
And there it is. So begins the anticipatory compliance. The @washingtonpost just gut punched their own legacy.
NEWS: The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement in this year's presidential race, the editor of the editorial pages has told colleagues at a tense meeting this morning THREAD AND LINK: npr.org/2024/10/25/nx-…
