RFK Jr. is a danger to public health. Every Republican senator who votes yes will own the consequences. When RFK Jr. follows anti-vax conspiracies instead of science, when he greenlights Trump's anti-abortion agenda, when he cuts healthcare for seniors — remember who voted yes.

#America rushing to see how we can go from the smartest to the dumbest the fastest. What is the point of court orders if these agencies can just defy them?

Lord Ginger Polin is already an acting legend iktr

Vaccines arise from terrible necessity—diphtheria, the 'strangling angel of children' to the painful spasms of tetanus to, here, pancreatic cancer, a cruel disease with few treatments. This paper is a reminder of the joy vaccines can bring: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

The Democratic Party's calculation appears to be that raising hell about what Trump is doing will make them look obstructionist, partisan, and "sour-grapey" while painting him as a man of action taking bold steps on presisng problems. This is wrong and dumb.

Because you can’t just go in and change things willy-nilly. Over 325 million Americans as well as millions of other people around the world used our government’s website for resources, DAILY. And the dumbasses just decided to go in and delete everything like they owned it.

THIS !

How does a heart grow so black?

Robber baron Elon Musk squandered approx $40 million on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful! 🏈USAID would’ve spent $40M on purchasing life-saving HIV treatment from USA pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for 1 year! Tell Congress #saveforeignaid & #standwithUSAID!

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people. Well done.

Ending medical research will have far reaching negative effects. Medicines come from unusual or unlikely sources. The Musk/Trump regime has stopped medical research in its tracks at NIH. The entire world will pay for Musk’s ignorance in ending medical and scientific research at NIH. #ProudBlue

NEW: Federal judge in Massachusetts enters Emergency Temporary Restraining Order blocking Trump Administration from cutting health research grant money, including 15% cap on overhead costs. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

@unauthorizedbeast.bsky.social Day #22 Equality Matters #proudblue This is about all of us collectively rising. I felt it Nov 6th. This is not about a hero saving us. Together we must join to save ourselves. The Republicans need a hero. We need each other. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

One key function covered by #NIH indirect funds is ethical oversight of research. Research with human participants cannot be done safely without well-funded ethical oversight.

Another glowing review for Kash Patel 🙄

🚨 The CDC has been silenced by Trump—stay informed with daily AMA updates. The MMWR typically runs 20–25 pages with four or more reports on disease investigations, health trends, and public health developments. Last Thursday’s edition, 8 pages with two reports. www.yahoo.com/news/voice-c...

Hard-working people who do so much for our country are being threatened with arbitrary layoffs because of the whims of the richest man in the world. INCLUDING nuclear safety engineers at Hanford. How does that leave anyone better off?

1/8 There are several websites and resources dedicated to combating misinformation. These resources can help you verify claims and ensure that the information you consume is accurate. Here are some notable ones: Please repost

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

Sam in a winter wonderland is perfection, put him in a rom com immediately

Trump fires National Archives chief The president has dismissed the top U.S. archivist after fuming about the agency’s role in the criminal classified-documents case against him. Another woman gets the axe. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

She speaks truth.

Dorothy Height was a civil rights & women’s rights activist, & was a widely respected, influential leader of organizations that focused on improving the circumstances of & opportunities for African American women. Her #CupOfJoe broke barriers. #BlackHistoryMonth

Mr. Benjamin Banneker (1731-?) was an inventor who created the first known clock in the US. He was also a mathematician, astronomer, writer, and land surveyor. Mr. Banneker taught himself advanced math from borrowed textbooks. He was a genius. #BlackHistoryMonth
