Dr. Scott Jensen's misinformation about a lethal disease is unethical, unprofessional and dangerous. He was GOP-endorsed for governor of Minnesota, but lost.

“Scientists shouldn’t get political.”

Except for when politics is destroying science, killing millions, and making the world a much more dangerous place for everyone.

It’s never inappropriate or unprofessional to stand up for your field, especially when that’s the right thing to do for our health, security, and freedom.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Stepping up repeatedly to respond to outbreaks of some of the world’s deadliest emerging viruses doesn’t count for much these days if it becomes politically expedient to target you.

To my colleagues & all my fellow Americans—today it’s Vincent & Kwe. Tomorrow maybe it’s your turn. This is fascist shit. If it stands it is the end of our democracy

The @ADA_DiabetesPro social media censor is working late tonight. They just deleted the 51st comment (100% of comments) on their earlier Facebook post that starts out: "Big things are happening in New Orleans!":

The article title from the diabetes scientists said, "We Can No Longer Afford Complacency and Fear. We Must All Act Now!"

I guess they were right.

@AhmadRehanKhan @ADA_DiabetesPro Not only is there no post, but they've been actively deleting every comment on their earlier Facebook post touting the conference. They're up to 40 comment deletions so far, some just innocently asking what happened:

Critics blast Trump's purge of National Science Board: 'Wholesale evisceration of American leadership in science' https://t.co/QY160uQKg0

[🌸DrNice2026🌸 @DrNice2026]

This is cult language:
“…once their eyes have been opened…”
It implies that WE KNOW something special and hidden, and those who do not agree with our views are impaired, uninformed, less intelligent.

This is not science.

It is propaganda.
It is divisive.
It harms kids.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @thejointstaff: The UCMJ and federal law prohibit war crimes.

Striking civilian infrastructure that causes disproportionate civilian harm constitutes war crimes.

You will disobey those illegal orders.

If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Today, a strike just 100 meters from Rafik Hariri University Hospital, Lebanon's largest public medical facility, caused major damage to a nearby residential area. It killed 4 people and injured 39. The hospital sustained no damage.

Between 28 and 31 March, @WHO verified 11 attacks affecting Lebanese health care facilities. This is an average of 2 attacks every day, with 5 occurring on 28 March alone, impacting facilities in Kfar Tibnit, Ghandouriyeh, Zawtar Al Gharbiyeh, Kfar Dajal, and Jazzine and resulting in 9 deaths and 5 injuries.

On 29 March, attacks impacting health facilities in Bint Jbeil and Chakra caused 1 death with no injuries.

On 30 March, a strike impacting the Rihab hospital in Beirut’s southern suburbs injured 4 people, while the next day, 2 facilities in Kafra and Bint Jbeil were damaged, causing 1 death and 3 injuries.

Since 28 February, WHO has verified 92 attacks on health facilities, medical vehicles, personnel, and warehouses, that resulted in 53 deaths and injured 137 people.

These acts cannot become the new norm. The world must reaffirm, unequivocally, that the protection of health care is not optional, but a universal obligation and a measure of our collective humanity.

As Israel expands its military operations, I call on all parties to uphold their responsibility under international humanitarian law and ensure health facilities, health workers and patients are proactively protected.

Healthcare is #NotATarget.

[Jonathan Whittall @_jwhittall]

A year ago today we retrieved the bodies of medics in #Gaza - buried in a mass grave. The original thread from that night is below. There has been no accountability. Attacks continue and have spread. I’ve written about it today for @AJEnglish here: https://t.co/yHhiA8H26m

@ZNarrett @NBCNews @grok, What's with a Harvard PhD promoting far-fetched misinformation, libel, and torture with a single tweet?

[DefeatScotty ☮ @DefeatScotty]

@MarkWarner Good question. And a good time to reflect on why these guardrails are in place, as the short film Slaughterbots illuminates: https://t.co/IoZjybbU4L

Most Americans oppose unsupervised autonomous weapons systems… so why the hell is the Department of Defense bullying an AI company into deploying them?

Drastic cuts to USAID has resulted in 750,000 deaths

...for what doesn't even amount to a rounding error in the budget

And it's only ONE of the horrifying costs that come from "running America like a business"
