The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

I fought damn hard to create the 988 Hotline because help should not be hard to get – regardless of who you are or where you live. This is wrong and cruel – and you can be sure I will fight this. www.axios.com/2025/04/23/l...

"Women" were on the forbidden word list. The Women's Health Initiative helped us understand Hormone Replacement Therapy. We had this study because NIH had frequently *left women out* of their studies.
Gabriel Bosslet@gbosslet.bsky.social · last yr.Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women Unreal www.science.org/content/arti...
Loving this audio book!
Tia👩🏾🔬@nomadicallytia.bsky.social · 2y agoI couldn't agree more with @barnesandnoble.bsky.social's choice for Book of the Year—James by Percival Everett. This novel is a brilliantly written page-turner that kept me hooked. The audiobook, too, was exceptionally well done. More gems like this, please. #books #bookoftheyear

Neil Lewis, Jr.@neillewisjr.bsky.social · last yr.Since federal health information is getting harder to come by, I thought I'd share this new resource.

The entire archive of all CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 has been backed up on Internet Archive. Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!
Who knew that Celebrity Jeopardy could inspire an app download from @aclu.org ? Got my copy of Mobile Justice!
FYI work aimed at improving health equity has always included rural and disabled populations. AND it's still true that racism differentially affects health outcomes in both groups.
NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Excellent! Preservation of the historical record isn't just the job of historians. Excited to see what projects come out of this data. Especially curious about economic outcomes within these communities.

In other news, yesterday I called on the four biggest streaming providers to carry C-SPAN. It's increasingly hard to find non-partisan, independent coverage about what's going on in government, and making C-SPAN easier to access for everyone is a good place to start.

Costco defends its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies amid pressures to scale them back: “Our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary.”
Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
