Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

I feel like Dr Fiona Hager’s quote to the NYTimes—upon resigning from the CDC this week after the mass dismissal of the agency’s science advisors—applies straight across the board: “a lot of Americans are going to die”

From the sanctuary to the streets, Black churches are electrifying the future—installing solar, EV stations & more to power up justice, faith & resilience. This is what climate hope looks like. #BlackChurchElectrification #GreenTheChurch #FaithInAction #CleanEnergy #CreationCare

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator. 🧪🌎

Gov. Gavin Newsom made the case in a televised address Tuesday evening that President Trump’s decisions to send military forces to immigration protests in Los Angeles have put the U.S. at the precipice of authoritarianism. https://trib.al/EpbF098

Trump is pretending to be a king, doing whatever he wants, regardless of law and tradition. The last time a president sent in the National Guard without a governor’s permission was during the Civil Rights era- to protect civil rights protesters. Know your history. This is dangerous.

Measles is a very serious disease, nearly 100% preventable through vaccination. Babies and little kids don't have to die. We vaccinate to protect each other. Vaccines are safe. They work. Get your kiddos vaccinated and avoid tragedies like this one. www.reuters.com/en/ontario-r....
