The Ebola outbreak in the DRC has now crossed 10,000 cases and is getting close to 5,000 deaths. It is a staggeringly large outbreak and it continues to grow rapidly, with 96 new cases in the last 24 hours alone. #IDsky 🧪 insp.cd/sitrep-n164-...

Why has RFK Jr’s extreme racism, antisemitism, & anti-immigrant hatred been ignored for so long? I guess these qualities are *valued* by the MAHA/MAGA movements?

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

Related: I’m still looking for leads and help on jobs, fellowships, and freelance contracts on drones, GIS, aid, disaster, OSINT, tech ethics, and journalism. I simply will not work for evil people and/or weapons manufacturers, which is also why I haven’t had paying work since Trump 2.0 began.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Yeah the cost has my eyes watering. And people complain about GLP1 pricing 🫣 $390,000 a year? Did they look at renal transplant prices and go, yeah like price it like that!

If you have not followed the latest news about the proposed RFK Jr-funded trial that Danish researchers wanted to conduct in Guinea-Bissau, this new piece by @sorenhough.bsky.social & Josh Abbott is astounding—& breaks additional news (Disclosure: they quote me) www.bioxconomy.com/modalities/b...

As you watch the video, keep in mind that all of this was over alleged *shoplifting* of a package of diapers, a backpack, and some clothing. Apprehending a shoplifter, Mississippi officials apparently believe, was worth the life of a 1-year-old boy.

I spent last night writing about Trump's waterfront land grab in DC. Things are crazier than I thought, and MAGA has the National Park Service seriously gaslighting the public over it. 🧵

Under Mark, and predecessor, wait lists snd registration for camp, swimming lessons, skating etc are a hunger games type process. Lessons/events canceled bc ceilings collapse, roofs leak, systems break down. But we somehow have $419m for lansdowne 2/

Under Mark (and predecessor) our social infra has been under funded, under maintained. Where Mark promises more low taxes, more pools, rec centres, libraries will close. 100 are threatened. Want #OurBestOttawa? Vote for @jleiper.bsky.social ! 1/

This week Eli Lilly presented data for a trial I've been waiting to see SOME results for a year now! Retatrutide and chronic kidney disease. It was a short trial. As we'll find out, TOO SHORT! And these are literally just the topline results to see if Reta changed measured GFR #NephJC
