When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts the FDA's own publication from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

Haven’t seen a single report about this yet linking it to the history of terrorism against reproductive rights clinics or the growing right wing expansion of so-called ‘pro-life’ efforts to limit reproductive choice writ large. I know I am not the only one absolutely begging journos to do context…

Never lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy. No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.

North Carolina has thousands of vacant classroom positions across our public school system all over the state because the pay offered isn't high enough to attract applicants. That is a political choice that our state lawmakers have made - not a financial necessity.

Everyone has already made this point but reiterating that US citizens cannot be ‘deported’ and using that language does the mainstreaming and propaganda work of the fascists who want to make it sound normal to kidnap, disappear, and traffic people based on their ethnicity or politics

1. I study how science works as a collective endeavor to make sense of the physical world. I also study how misinformation about science spreads and affects society. There are fewer examples more poignant than a Minnesota bill that would criminalize mRNA vaccines as weapons of mass destruction.
