Today RFK and co. removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for children and pregnant people. This is junk science. COVID puts children and pregnant people at higher risk for ER visits and hospitalizations, and Long COVID can cause chronic health issues for anyone.

Is your love language actually physical touch or do you have anxious attachment due to lack of getting loved on like you needed to when you were younger? Speaking to everyone but especially men/masc. 👀

Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!

I got 10/10 on this. When it's a matter of directly comparing a real picture to a fake one...the fake ones look fake! Shiny and perfect and glossy. Less easy when it's not a direct comparison obv, but in general, if it looks too good to be true...

The Venn Diagram of people asking how Gazans have phones and internet access and people asking how people in the United States can be poor when they have phones and internet access IS. A. CIRCLE. YOU CAN HAVE A PHONE AND STILL BE HUNGRY. YOU CAN HAVE A FLATSCREEN AND STILL BE POOR.

I believe in having the hard conversations out the gate. I don't want to find out several months in that you're a flat earther, a climate change denier, a bigot, or an idiot who believes all Americans were issued the same pair of bootstraps

Every comic creator's obituary is like, he created this iconic character who was in a movie that made $700 million last year. He died with a net worth of $12 after the publisher countersued him.

A huge percentage of Americans will need care at end of life. They need to wake up and think about how they want their elders treated. They need to wake up and think about how they want to be treated.

I know this feels right (and flattering). But that man doesn’t hate smart people. He hates people who won’t do what he wants. Smart people comply all the time.

Many of us who read Project 2025 have been saying from the start that The Regime has a unifying goal of destroying US scientific infrastructure and causing the collapse of Universities. We were called “hysterical”. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Grateful to everyone who shared their thoughts with me for this piece about the difference between how people imagined they would show up for a moment like this one, and how we're actually showing up—and how we can begin to close the gap between aspiration and action.
