"The far-right commentator & former #DonaldTrump adviser told the outlet that “Musk is a parasitic illegal #immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiment and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, tradition or values.”"

Update, on the #CDC order directing staffers to retract pending journal articles that use now-prohibited terms like #transgender and #immigrant (earlier in this thread) …

Bravo to the #BMJ (@bmj_latest) for calling this order "sinister and ludicrous."

"This is not how it works. Medically relevant terminology and inclusive language follow evidence based reporting standards or are matters of individual journal style and policy. They do not follow political orders. Similarly, co-authors cannot simply scrub themselves from articles. Authorship gives credit and accountability for the work, and an article’s list of authors does not ghost contributors. If authors wish to withdraw submissions under review at a journal, this process is feasible should all of their co-authors agree. However, if somebody who merits inclusion in the authorship group of an article requests to be removed, even with the approval of the co-authors, this is a breach of publication ethics."

Update. I just posted an item outside this thread that belongs in the thread. Sorry. Here it is. The #Trump #CDC is asking staffers to withdraw pending scientific publications that use newly-prohibited terms like #transgender, #immigrant, or #LGBT.

Speaking at the WH before signing the Laken Riley Act, a bill that is expected to expand the number of #immigrant detainees held in US custody for minor property crimes, #Trump said the massive #detention camp would “detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people” & be “a tough place to get out of.”

“We even don’t trust other countries to hold them, & we don’t want them coming back, so we’re going to send them out to #Guantánamo,” Trump said.
