"UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid" When exactly are the international community going to do more than wring hands and make sad faces? Israel is violating international norms and rules of war. It is indiscriminately targeting civilians inc a million children

RFK Jr.’s anti-science crusade is already endangering lives, and it’s only the beginning. His rise, like Trump’s, is a direct threat to public health, medical freedom, and scientific progress. The attempt to overturn FDA approval of the abortion pill shows how far they’ll go.

I’m very concerned that we’re getting close to a point where the regime commands military forces to commit unconstitutional and illegal violence against their fellow Americans. If that happens, the fate of the republic will rest on them following the constitution, and refusing the orders.

1000 measles cases. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after DOGE cancelled $11 billion that went to state and local public health departments. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after the CDC fired infectious disease experts. Trump and RFK Jr. must act to stop measles now.

Bad: Wearing a mask to avoid catching or transmitting infectious disease. Good: Wearing a mask to conceal your identity while carrying out authoritarian repression.

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

This shows how much harm antivaxxers have done already. Expect more of this, tragically, as people follow RFK Jr's lead, and as the corruption of our public health institutions spread.

Arming Israel. Bombing Yemen. Cutting aid. This government’s obsession with militarism is out of control — and it is the poorest people in the world paying the price. We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is a good enough reason to try and build a world of peace.

During COVID, we learned the hard way that nearly all our hospital PPE i.e. masks, gowns, gloves comes from China. A 104% tariff could send us straight back to pandemic-level shortages or drive healthcare costs even higher.🫠

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?

Trump is deliberately tanking our economy. He's dismantling every government agency—firing thousands of competent career professionals & replacing them with unfit bootlicker loyalists. He has betrayed our allies & stands with our enemies. He's weaponizing the rule of law & oppressing the free press.

We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault to an extent Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs. A misinformed public is MANUFACTURED AND INTENTIONAL.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

On International Women's Day, we honor the incredible achievements and resilience of all the women who’ve strengthened our nation. Democracy demands equal rights– equal pay, access to childcare, and bodily autonomy. I’m proud to support women’s rights.
