More of this, please! #SanDiego County is suing the #TrumpAdministration for illegally blocking officials from inspecting #ICE detention centers. https://calmatters.org/justice/2026/03/san-diego-otay-mesa-lawsuit/

Prosecute the #ICE murderers. If the Feds won't do it, which they won't under this regime, state and local prosecutors must find a way.

In a nearly impossible feat, the next #DHS spokesperson could be even worse. https://www.salon.com/2026/02/23/dhs-spokeswoman-tricia-mclaughlins-replacement-is-even-worse/

Oh look, another #ICE murder they covered up. How many more don't we know about?

While #RFKJr stokes bogus fears about #mercury in vaccines, #Trump moves to expose us all to tbe type of mercury that actually can hurt you. https://www.commondreams.org/news/epa-mercury-rule?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=7b937d7420-Top+News%3A+Mon.+2%2F16%2F26+w%2F+fundraiser_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-5cab4589e1-600541243

Trump has installed the crackpot already leading #NIH as acting director of #CDC, likely in attempt to avoid Senate confirmation. Wired rounds up alarmed reactions, including a comment from me on behalf of @defendpublichealth.bsky.social https://www.wired.com/story/the-cdc-has-a-leadership-crisis/

This is #RFKJr's real game: Make it so that pharmaceutical companies don't want to invest in #vaccine research. And it's working. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/misc-emerging-topics/moderna-chief-company-won-t-invest-new-late-stage-vaccine-trials

#JesseJackson was an ally to #LGBTQ people before it was fashionable; when most politicians were scared to say the word "gay" or publicly be associated with us, Jesse Jackson did just that. And in 1987, when people with AIDS were too often shunned, discriminated against and treated with fear and contempt, Jackson publicly hugged people with AIDS at the LGBTQ March on Washington. Hail and farewell. #RIP https://wehoonline.com/jesse-jackson-lgbtq-legacy-west-hollywood-obituaries-missing/

#ICE is abducting legal observers in #Minneapolis. https://theintercept.com/2026/02/09/ice-minneapolis-legal-observers-abduction/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter

The very conservative #WallStreetJournal editorial board has had enough:
"It’s hard to recall a regulator who has done as much damage to #medical innovation in as little time as Vinay Prasad. In his latest drive-by shooting, the leader of the Food and Drug Administration’s #vaccine division rejected Moderna’s #mRNA flu vaccine without even a cursory review."

The coming year under #Trump: "Mentally deteriorating, unpopular, incompetent, corrupt, out of touch; and yet, in—for now—unshakably firm control of power, completely beyond any democratic accountability. And when that accountability moment comes in November, he will blatantly do whatever he can to erase and reverse it." https://newrepublic.com/article/206321/trump-bubble-impregnable-2026-election?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tnr_daily

"A Mexican man beaten within an inch of his life last month by US #Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents is on the mend and on Saturday spoke out to refute what one nurse called the agency’s 'laughable' claim that his injuries—which include a skull shattered in eight places and five brain hemorrhages—were self-inflicted." https://www.commondreams.org/news/alberto-castaneda-mondragon?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=6ac365e238-Top+News+%7C+Sun.+Feb.+8%2C+2025&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-c56d0ea580-600541243

OMG, #DrOz said something correct. But where the f**k is the #HHS Secretary during the worst #measles outbreak in years? https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/vaccine-top-us-health-official-appeal-measles-cases-129972374?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

"In a single call, #Tesla announced it’s killing the Model S and Model X, has no plans for new mass-market models, and is pivoting entirely to 'transportation as a service.' The company that revolutionized the auto industry is walking away from it, not because it failed, but because #ElonMusk got bored and found new toys."

You thought that Texas #measles outbreak last year was bad? South Carolina just said, "Hold my beer." Of 789 cases, only 20 are in people who are fully vaccinated, with the vast majority unvaccinated and a few partially vaccinated or unknown. #RFKJr's plan to Make America Sick Again is working. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/south-carolina-measles-outbreak-grows-surpasses-west-texas-outbreak
