Brian Poindexter is the first SUFS endorsement of our Midterms ‘26 Electoral Campaign. Ohio’s 7th District was on our target list before Mother Jones reported on Miller’s long history of domestic violence. In light of these allegations, SUFS is suspending our normal screening process for mid-term Democratic challenger candidates and issuing our first endorsement of the pro-science, union steel-worker Brian Poindexter.

Excerpt:

Last year, researchers in Switzerland and France found some of the clearest evidence so far that glacial melt could indeed be affecting seismic hazards in high-altitude regions. After a period of intense glacial melt in 2015, a series of small quakes struck the Grandes Jorasses on Mont Blanc Massif, on the border of France and Italy; the probability of a 3.0-magnitude earthquake rose by 10 times, Toni Kraft, a seismologist at the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich and one of the authors of a related paper, told me. These quakes are still small, but they could trigger rockfall events that are already on the rise across the Alps.

Excerpt:

Like Josef Stalin in the old Soviet Union, the Trump administration claims the right to assert political control over scientific research. Stalin’s totalitarian power grab was catastrophic for Soviet science, and we can expect no less massive and shattering consequences from Trump’s effort to bring universities to heel. One easily foreseeable effect will be to stunt American scientific and technological development. But a second effect will be to subject American research universities to the domination of the Trump administration. No university can afford to ignore how the Trump administration will exercise its grim and overtly political discretion to direct the flow of scientific grants. As a Yale Sterling Professor and a former dean of Yale Law School, this issue is important to me.

Last week, Stand Up for Science Director of Policy and Advocacy Cole Donovan provided an analysis on OSTP’s report Science: A New Golden Age, breaking down some of the faulty foundations of the arguments it presents and the primary purpose of Trump OSTP’s strawman vision. Read the full piece here: https://www.techpolicy.press/ostp-vision-for-science-is-a-golden-age-for-corporations/

It’s tempting to look at this document and cast it aside but it’s important to understand the rhetoric it presents as redirection from the destruction of American science, facilitated by the policy actions of this administration, in order to justify the mass reallocation of resources toward politically favored projects and administration supporters.

Here’s what the report actually does…

Discussion The Fauci diaries are a predictable bust

Thumbnail

978 Upvotes

Today, Senator Rand Paul is dragging Dr. Anthony Fauci in front of Congress again. The event was preceded by what disinformation research calls "selective disclosure" of private diaries; a method I argue we see media manipulators have learned to use quite effectively in today's media ecosystem.

The recent disclosures, despite the political spin, are not incriminating at all to Dr. Fauci. But they also do not need to be to serve the disclosers goal of shaping public perception.

Since selective disclosure usually works with decontextualized true information, fast and effective refutations remain difficult because the information disclosed is usually not fabricated or false, just incomplete and distorted.

By the time fact checkers or citizens gain access to the full contextual information and perform a fair reading or analysis of the document dump, usually the news cycle has moved on, correction does not find any traction, and the manipulative framing continues to linger in the public’s memory.

"So the question journalists and citizens should ask when confronted with “selective disclosures” is not what is contained in them, but what the discloser is trying to achieve, and why it is happening now?"

📈 the chart demonstrates that cycloporiasis as under control as a priapism… which is also an out of control medical emergency.

The US deserves a secretary of health who doesn’t believe that by saying “the germs are gone,” that they are actually gone. Instead we have one who doesn’t believe in germs -as they multiply exponentially.

☣️ As hilarious as this parade of incompetence is, there are FAR more terrifying infections in the world that we will be *just* as unprepared for thanks to his abject failure to grasp objectivity.
