I think viewing racism as a public health problem is valid. Would you be critical of the CDC talking about poverty’s effect on health? Lots of doctors really should be able to prescribe non-drug interventions to provide safe housing and low stress environments to their patients. Many health issues aren’t caused by bodily infections or failures. They’re caused by policy and society. Thus the CDC should be free to disc…

Where does that slippery slope end?

I don't know if it's really a problem. Congress and the POTUS can always ignore a department's political requests. If there were to be guardrails they should involve a judge declaring the political statements aren't relevant to the department's mission.

For those wondering why this exists: many of the pages that were formerly listed on the CDC website have been disappearing, likely in response to recent executive orders, though this has not been made explicit. As an example, I checked the Women's Health page and noticed a lot of removals -- the pages on menstrual health and hygiene ([1] vs [2]), or the page summarizing health disease statistics in women ([3] vs [4])…

Well if that's the case I'm sure the Executive will make it a priority to issue clarifying guidance for agencies so they can accurately reflect its intent.

Any day now surely.

I hate that many projects use Discord where anything else (IRC, Matrix, whatever) would work but in this case especially. Tencent owns an undisclosed share in Discord and just generally seems like a bad choice of communication platform if you want to look better than doge

Discord works by clicking a button - you get to signup, you fill in your email, bam you're on the Discord channel in your browser. Zero friction, nothing new to learn for the user. IRC on the other hand....

... has been around and worked perfectly for over three decades?

If the democrats get enough votes in the house and senate, I imagine they’ll swiftly kick him and hopefully vance out. For that to happen, the US economy will need to collapse (likely, given the tariffs, dismantling of governments, alienation of all trade partners, and multiple incoming pandemics, including measles, bird flu and ebola). However, the US will have to be a democracy in 12-24 months, and all of Trump’s a…

Not sure why this got downvoted, this is stating two clearly correct premises. The only people who will vote against Trump are in the Democratic Party, and the only way they'll get enough representatives into power is with economic collapse. Inflation is the only thing voters care about to a very accurate first approximation. Dismantling the institutions and installing autocracy is not something that causes public se…

> Inflation is the only thing voters care about to a very accurate first approximation.

And yet there always seems to be a stark contrast between what conservatives state they voted for versus what studies bear out in that regard. Basically every election in my politically aware history has come down to "the economy" and yet conservatives can see all time highs across many metrics and decry something as a "bad economy" and immediately switch positions as soon as their guy is elected even though nothing material has changed around the economy. Just like it was never about the price of eggs in the latest election. The price of eggs is just the most politically correct thing they could latch onto to justify their votes. All talk of egg prices went silent despite the price of eggs continuing to rise. It's almost like something else was the primary issue all along.

I'm impressed at how you can perceive conspiracies everywhere.

"I take no responsibility for the wide-ranging consequences of my poorly worded and ill-thought out executive orders!"

Discord is a walled garden that isn’t searchable from outside.

It’s a major contributor to the fragmentation of the internet into information black holes along with the other “social” media.

It’s the wrong tool to organize an effort to maintain an open access repository of information.
