They’re Not Tariffs, They’re Sanctions - The American Prospect https://prospect.org/economy/2025-04-03-theyre-not-tariffs-theyre-sanctions/ I think this is a fundamental distinction. "Trump put economic sanctions on everyone but Russia". Pass it on.

The Other Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Worrying Doctors Now https://www.webmd.com/children/vaccines/news/20250312/the-other-vaccine-preventable-diseases-worrying-doctors-now "Health officials are worried that measles cases in at least 12 states may be a harbinger of outbreaks of other preventable diseases, including polio, rubella, and mumps." Make iron lungs great again! Get your TDAP booster along with your MMR one... unless you're a Trump voter, in which case, drink raw milk.

RED ALERT: Now Is the Moment, Folks https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/red-alert-now-is-the-moment-folks "At present, Republicans are on course to shut down the government on March 14th. Essentially, the Freedom Caucus is holding them hostage, demanding not the draconian budget cuts favored by most of the GOP caucus but draconian-plus cuts, the kind that they fear will get their members in swing districts defeated. So Republican leadership is coming to Democrats, hat in hand, asking for help." Just say no.

So apnews.com is banned from the WH for refusing to use Newspeak and the rest of the WH press corps is cowardly, of course. How about we all create accounts on apnews.com (no $$ required) and use their links instead of less brave publications, to share information? Give AP the traffic. They've earned it.

The thing is, in my humble experience, a lot of natural scientists in academia think they're above politics. They're sciency and objective and rational. Politics is messy. We've always had a hard time getting them involved in our union because they see themselves are kinda above it all. I hope it's a wake-up call. Fascism comes for all of us.

This is enormously important and should be the main focus of any pressure we direct at Congressional Dems, especially the moderates and blue dogs.
