Today on @msnbc and @nbcnewsnow we’re talking about abortion refugees. We’re at @UCSF today, where the US’s first case of the omicron variant was identified. I interviewed Dr. Charles Chiu, who I last spoke with in 2007 when he was considered an outlier for suggesting we should be genetically sequencing bats for zoonotic diseases. Amazing to be with him today as he described being able to identify the variant in five hours, and growing it in a lab so we can sort out how transmissible and dangerous it really is. And of course the ultimate lesson is that we should all be vaccinated, because it is inside unvaccinated people that variance like this one can develop. We’ll be on all day for @msnbc and @nbcnewsnow. First day recording audiobook of The Loop. Really exciting. But man I wish I hadn’t written as much as I did. Elaine Maestra’s sister Elisha Lucero, who suffered from serious mental illness after 2018 surgery for a brain tumor, was shot to death in July 2019 by sheriff’s deputies in Albuquerque. The city and its state have one of the highest rates of fatal police shootings in the United States, and as of 2017 someone like Elisha had a 3-to-1 chance of being arrested versus hospitalized while in mental distress. This was a long day cranking on the firehose of #facebook documents and what they tell us about the company. @ezra.kaplan is still going somehow. This morning on @todayshow we’ll show you controversial research from inside #Facebook, documents that could form the basis of an SEC and congressional investigation, and we ask FB’s head of policy why its own researchers are so frustrated.
