No, monkeypox isn't about to go pandemic, writes @sciencecohen. But it may become difficult to contain among men who have sex with men, who make up a disproportionate number of the cases so far. bit.ly/3PwDQ6p

We’re horrified, saddened, and livid. If you are too, then now is the time to show up and show them our movement won't back down from protecting our reproductive rights. Tomorrow, at 5pm your local time, we’re rallying across America for abortion rights: act.womensmarch.com/sign/roe…
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. politico.com/news/2022/05/02…

Last night, Berkeley finally put to rest a sordid chapter in its history in order to embrace building housing in our community. I want to thank my co-sponsors @RashiKesarwani @TaplinTerry & all my colleagues for taking no action in attempting to quantify shadows last night. 🧵

We've heard from readers wondering why we hadn't yet reported on the urgent situation in Oakland Chinatown. The answer: we were committed to taking the time to collect key facts and nuanced perspectives to better inform these conversations. The result: oaklandside.org/2021/02/12/o…

My heart goes out to everyone touched by this virus, from those at the White House, especially the Secret Service and residence staff whose service ought never be taken for granted, to all those names and stories most of us will unfortunately never know. teapaw.org/i/broadcasts/1BdGYnYjQ…

As a historian who has written about the Holocaust, I'll say bluntly: This is indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ, Romani and others being exterminated. This is America 2020. This is where the GOP has taken us.

"You have good genes, you know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it, don't you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we're so different? You have good genes in Minnesota." -- Trump

Last night I was arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer by @LASDHQ after videotaping their interactions with protesters in Lynwood. This is what I remember and what I have on video and audio.

Politicians: “We just need to get rid of a few bad apple cops & make some reforms & that‘ll solve it.” Meanwhile... Cops: “Kill a kid so you can be jumped into our gang & get the gang tattoo.” baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2…

A 25 yr old patient in Nevada has a confirmed case of #COVID19 reinfection (48 days apart between 1st and 2nd PCR). This time, unlike the case in Hong Kong, the immune system did not protect this person from reinfection or disease. (1/n) papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Oakland needs COVID relief - not troops - from our President. He should stop slandering diverse, progressive cities like Oakland in his racist dog whistles and divisive campaign tactics.

I hope, desperately hope, that this story is not what it appears to be. That there is some mistake. We need to know more, fast. But there is a chill up my spine with the recognition that this is plausible in our current America.
Oregon Public Broadcasting confirms tweets today that federal officers in camouflage but no agency identification or badges, driving unmarked non-government rental cars, are grabbing protestors off streets in Portland and not talking w local authorities opb.org/news/article/federal…

As a Tennessean, it makes me sick that there are monuments standing in our state that celebrate racist historical figures who did evil things. Edward Carmack and Nathan Bedford Forrest were DESPICABLE figures in our state history and should be treated as such.

IMPORTANT: In coming weeks, as #COVID19 numbers stay high (or rise) in many states, @realdonaldtrump may try to blame it on #BlackLivesMatter protests. As an ER doc, I can tell you it’s a stunt designed to evade accountability & should be refuted ASAP. Here are the facts: 1/8
