VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...

I have been clear -- I am against mass deportations. BUT, if we are going to be deporting people, can we start with this apartheid nepo-baby dingus?

At a university this size this move only makes financial sense if you believe that PhD students are some kind of luxury expense rather than what they are - the primary category of worker doing the bulk of the teaching labor for the meagerest wage possible.

It's hard to write in the middle of a coup. Then I remember, if books didn't matter they wouldn't work so hard to ban them. (photo of cute cat because)

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

I am very much against banning books, but this does tickle me.

Truly, the GOP is pro-disease. Who needs to research Alzheimer's? These pricks are literally trying to kill you. Act accordingly.

To the feckless, Democratic consultants, here’s a free one: buy a billboard highlighting Musk cutting the veterans suicide hotline program and have it placed across the street from Pete Hegseth’s favorite bar.

The man is an idiot. He could just be raking in the dough from his cars and whatnot, but his Nazi ego is the most important thing.

Not to flex but anyone who followed Elon's hyperloop arc saw this coming a mile away. He said he could save 90% over high speed rail by ... buying land cheaper. That was it, he never offered any further specifics and the media utterly failed to convey how much of a charlatan he was.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
