Happy Juneteenth! On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. Think about that word, FREE.

A friendly reminder from us at Pawprints to Freedom to keep an eye on the weather as it heats up! ☀️ Remember no dog dies from missing a walk when it's too hot, why not try some inside activities instead? 🐶 #DogsOfBluesky #Dogs #Adopt #Heatwave #Weather

This budget bill could close clinics that provide cancer screenings, STI tests & birth control. In Montana, 4 of 6 abortion providers are Planned Parenthood. This bill threatens them all. Tell Daines & Sheehy: Stand up for rural and low-income Montanans. #mtpol

I'd forgotten about this - sooo on point. I also read blogs (supposedly) written by Iraqis after the invasion and what they endured. Remember Riverbend?

The only thing I have to say about the supreme court ruling: I attempted suicide for the first time at 7 years old. Protect trans kids.

I will confess that I did not follow the Karen Read case carefully, for the same reason that ER docs presumably don't watch videos of car crashes when they get home from work. But my birds-eye view is that it's good when the public cares whether police and prosecutors do things the right way.

Vinay Prasad was named as both the FDA’s chief scientific officer and chief medical officer TODAY. He immediately fired Nicole Verdun, who was in charge of cell and gene therapies. “Now, there will definitely be concerns and questions about what this means for the division under Vinay Prasad”.

If you're not placing today's ruling against gender-affirming care for trans youth in the context of John Roberts' lifelong campaign to suck the life out of the Fourteenth Amendment, and equality for actual humans more broadly, you're doing it wrong. Here, for @vanityfair.com, I attempt to do that.

Politicians During Mental Health Awareness Month

One thing people still don’t seem to understand is that your uncle’s opinion on gain of function research is worthless. Your favorite podcaster’s opinion as well. And probably your elected officials’ opinion, too. Politicization of vital science by lazy, uneducated tools is going to endanger us all.
