The St. Regis or Vista Tower is a modern marvel of construction. Molded as if it were clay, visually striking with its fluidity and glassy blue appearance. Made me look! #Scape #photography #Cityscape #urbangaze #Chicago

A marvel of construction designed by Goettsch Partners at 150 N Riverside Plaza, Chicago. The building is famous for its balancing act on its unusually small base as if an arrow shot from space and landed on the west bank of Chicago River. #Scape #Cityscape #photography #urbanscape

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

Childhood in the centuries before vaccination was marked by illness, but also by grief and loss in a way that we tend to forget now that disease outbreaks are more of a rarity. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/WmCVmk

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

BREAKING: A district court ruled that the FBI's use of Section 702 to conduct warrantless searches of a person's digital communications violates the Fourth Amendment. This is a victory for our right to privacy from government spying.
