Earlier today Erie County Department of Health  Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein and I joined others, including researchers from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and University at Buffalo, to Stand Up for Science in Niagara Square in downtown Buffalo. 

Measles and Whooping Cough should not be making a comeback, but they are because of declining vaccination rates. 

I'm proud to stand alongside those who have dedicated their lives and careers to believing in facts and science, not whatever the latest social media influencer posts. Thanks to all who attended today to #StandUpForScience.

Little Blue Is Retiring After more than a decade of connecting readers, Little Blue, UB Libraries’ free lending book cart, will retire on March 4, 2026.

From @buffalonews.com and @ubuffalo.bsky.social - why on earth would UB "retire" a little free library? I would have loved this as a student and I hope some professor paints an old cart and brings it back in front of their office.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? β€œI’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? β€œIt’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? β€œAre you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

Remember how this guy lobbied hard to get a pardon for a war criminal who slaughtered children? Turns out that’s literally his entire philosophy of armed conflict

The Trump administration killed these children at an elementary school in Minab, Iran.

So it is a war, unauthorized by Congress and the money to kill Iranians, Lebanese, Palestinians will just be conjured from thin air.

What a slap in the face to actual soldiers and war victims who have actually been injured, maimed and disabled. Shameful.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
