Gilligan is beautiful

A small crowd stands around a woman with a megaphone holding a sign that reads "ProPublica Workers: READY TO STRIKE"
A group of six people in winter clothes on the sidewalk smile at the camera. They are holding signs that read "ProPublica Workers Love a Fair Contract" and "ProPublica Workers: READY TO STRIKE"
A man holds a megaphone on a snowy sidewalk next a large inflatable rat. Several people stand near him holding signs that say "ProPublica Workers Deserve Fair Pay"
1/ ICYMI: We are ready to strike if necessary to win the contract we deserve, complete with job security, guardrails around AI and fair wages. Yesterday, we practiced picketing outside @propublica.org offices.
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. Truly.
Folks in Boise, join us Tuesday for a breakfast and press conference with Idaho Gov. Brad Little. The Q&A will be on the record. idahopressclub.org/events/
Glad to see change is coming after @audreydutton.bsky.social's great work on failures of Idaho's coroner system.
Mine, too.
Yeah. Really feeling for parents of infants and kids who can't be immunized.
Here's my story on that:
www.propublica.org/article/idah...
Idaho changed the law last year, making it illegal for school nurses or child care businesses to send home unvaccinated kids in the event of an outbreak, unless they show symptoms. Measles is uniquely good at getting around though; a person can spread it for up to 4 days before they show symptoms.

The regional public health department that covers this area hasn't issued a news release or announcement about the cases, as far as I can tell.
Measles has arrived in the Boise area. Five cases just reported in Canyon County, according to the state's weekly data. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...
If you live in a community that has wastewater testing, you can also check here to see if measles might be circulating. (Wastewater isn't infallible, but neither is case report data. More data points = more information.) data.wastewaterscan.org/tracker/?cha...

Wow. #measles
A thing I never imagined my child saying: "Alexa, play Skrillex."
Got this in my email this morning. If y'all see these videos on social media, please DM or tag me. I'm curious to see what people say.
WATCH: While federal judges decide whether Portland protesters’ behavior constitutes a rebellion, ProPublica set out to examine the degree to which they were inciting unrest and the role that federal officers played.
NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland.
In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.
Qiyam leads a local environmental group in PA. He has an air purifier in every room of his house.
Kiki, pictured here, has asthma and does not appreciate her feline inhaler.
Tighter air pollution rules were finalized last year. Trump's EPA is rolling them back.

Ah, I see what you were saying. No, that's right, it doesn't. The change to law re. what the school nurse can do is a separate thing. Children who have exemptions on file can no longer be excluded (kept home) during an outbreak unless (until) they are sick.
In Idaho, schools haven't been allowed to require vaccinations without exemptions since at least the 1990s. Schools must accept medical, religious or personal belief exemptions. The main story goes into that, and some of the additional changes that seem to have made exemptions more common.
NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.
“this law isn’t just about policy. It is about flipping the script on what we’ve considered the norm for generations now: that if you’re going to be part of a community, you must help protect the other people in your community.”
“The law “not only rejects that norm […] it makes it illegal.”
Thank you so much for sharing and the kind words.
