Rewarding children for good behavior increases the odds that they'll repeat the desired action. The same is often true of adults. Even if their actions are way too little, too late. 📞 Call Sen. Tillis at (202) 224-6342 to reinforce the good behavior of breaking ranks with Trump.

I'm a scientist because 52 years ago the National Science Foundation supported me, as a high school student, to do real research at a university summer science program. The destruction of US science by Trump and the Republicans today will weaken the country for decades.

📚Resisting Autocracy Lessons📚 TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACE OF THE WORLD The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

My heart breaks for the federal workers whose livelihoods have been wrongfully upended, and for the American people who will no longer benefit from the talents and expertise of these civil servants. If you've been affected, info on #UCFE is below:

🚨 ACTION (Health Care) Wow! With RFK Jr now confirmed and pages/data/important language being removed from agency websites, it might be a REALLY good idea to review and save these vaccine schedules! And pls share these 3 posts, so others can do the same! Thx, @curious-alpaca.bsky.social! 💙 #CDC ⬇️

Would RFK also claim that cancer patients are addicted to chemo? Likening #SSRI use to addiction is pseudoscientific and stigmatizes the 13% of American adults who use these medications in order to live fulfilling, productive lives.
