How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Congratulations to UPMC Children's Dr. Amy Houtrow, the winner of the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award from AAPMR! Read more about this fierce advocate for kids with disabilities on our blog. inside.upmc.com/upmc-pediatr... @houtrowmdphdmph.bsky.social #disabilities #physicalmedicine #rehabmedicine

I am lucky to have known her and am forever grateful for her advocacy. She was a true champion for disability justice.

I am lucky enough to serve on their Board. Please donate to this wonderful organization in service to children and youth with special health care needs.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Some Halloween Humor amidst the Terrible Trump Truth. Incredible work by @ellecordova.bsky.social

Go, Jane, go! She's rounded up hundreds of Hollywood figures to revive the First Amendment organization her father championed. Fonda, in her late eighties, is in her prime as a climate champion and a powerful voice for justice.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

I am reminded of the poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller, "First they came for the ___, and I did not speak out b/c I was not a ___, then they came for the...." Feels terrifyingly close to home. MAGA comes for trans people, immigrants, the mentally ill, the homeless... www.huffpost.com/entry/brian-...

A budget is a moral document. We are witnessing America's decay. We've always struggled and will always struggle to do the best by our communities, but this is an abomination. As constituents we need to raise our voices. Democracy requires our engagement at the ballot box and well beyond.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

RFK Jr just fired all the members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the committee that guided us through the pandemic and creates the recommended immunization schedules for adults and children, via a WSJ opinion piece.

I am honored to serve on the Family Voices Board. Please consider donating to this amazing organization.

We need more of our elected representatives to speak up like this.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

None of these men are legitimate scientists. This is not “good science.” COVID doubled death rates in pregnancy pre-vaccine, and mountains of evidence show COVID causes worse outcomes for mom & baby. Evidence also shows vaccination has no adverse effects on pregnancy or baby but does protect them.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will cut billions of dollars from Medicaid. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people across the country, including more than 15 million people with disabilities. The Senate must reject this dangerous bill.

When you quote, parrot, amplify and reenforce the messages of the propagandist, you are joining and strengthening the propaganda machine. Looking at you @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com

When someone mentions that we'll be able to course correct after the midterms, I remind them that we were not successfully able to course correct after Reaganomics after 40 years.

When Natural Disasters Hit, People With Disabilities Often Feel Them ‘First and Worst’ www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/w...

All these people are eugenicists who want anyone with health problems to die in order to purify the human race. That millions of people support this is deeply disturbing and does not bode well for where our society is heading (hint it rhymes with Yahtzee)

Dom has said it more clearly than I ever could and is 100% correct.

We knew the destruction had already started and more was coming, but today is an awful day. People I have worked with, respect and care about have been fired today. Our nation will not be healthier and the cost to our communities will be great. apnews.com/article/heal...

apnews.com/article/cory... I am here for this! We need more Democrats in powerful positions to do things like this.

The ACA is cool because insurers can't use the presence of a pre-existing health condition to deny you coverage, increase premiums or impose waiting periods.

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

Medicaid’s administrative costs constitute only 4% of spending; commercial insurance administrative costs are 17% #Medicaid #medicaidmatters #savemedicaid

I am grateful for his integrity, wisdom, dedication, compassion and desire to make the world a better place. May he rest in peace.

I am glad we are having this conversation. Thank you @glaucomflecken.bsky.social for this video and your awesome video library. Thank you for your time, wisdom and humor. www.youtube.com/shorts/VGgQD...
