We've Seen This Ebola Story Before, We Cannot Afford to Repeat It
How delayed detection, conflict, funding gaps, and fading global attention allowed the largest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's history to outpace the response

Anne Frank was arrested on this day in 1944. History rarely returns wearing the same uniform, it returns asking the same thing of ordinary people: Will you sit down and look away? Or will you stand up and fight? #Resist
We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Karly Kingsley@karlykingsley.bsky.social · 4d agoJust this past week Iranian hackers have attacked municipal water infrastructure in seven different states and the media is only talking about Minnesota and briefly Wisconsin. Tehran-linked hackers were breaching online automated devices used to manage systems. This is the future

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 4d agoI was thinking for a moment there should be a drinking game where everyone downs a shot when the United States Attorney's office for the District of Columbia has to drop a frivolous indictment but then I realized only the United States Attorney herself could survive that game
Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.gov · 4d ago[1/2] 60 years ago, I watched the UT Tower — a symbol of pride became a source of tragedy. So many lives lost or disrupted. Walking on campus then, I could have been one of them. We saw great acts of courage by fellow students & police. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/austin/ne...
