Postage stamps from around the world illustrating breastfeeding

HUGE new study of >1.2 million kids looked to see if the aluminium contained was associated with a number of childhood conditions. Long story short: NO association with ANY of them. The tiny amount of aluminium in vaccines is safe. #Vaccineswork

The WABA 2025 World Breastfeeding Week Action Folder is now out: "Priortise breastfeeding, create sustainable support systems" worldbreastfeedingweek.org/action-folder/

The period of time where being pregnant in public or breastfeeding in public was taboo is, in the scheme of human history, incredibly short and limited in scope, and I for one am not going to engage with it.

Do you know if your favorite influencer is being paid to post about food and beverages? This new study shows many are not clearly disclosing their ties to the food and beverage industry. www.jmir.org/2025/1/e60891 #foodpolicy #foodandnutrition #nutritionpolicy

Once again pointing out that you don't actually have to like a victim to denounce sexual abuse. The idea that women must be likable has cost women promotions, the presidency, & accountability for abuse. If you only believe victims & denounce abuse if you like them, you endorse sexual abuse as a tool

UTAH… this is not a game…

Actions mean more than words. And the fact that the new COI rules are not being applied to the new hand-picked Advisory Council on Immunization Practices, speaks volumes. www.statnews.com/2025/07/09/k...

Median colostrum protein content was significantly higher in small for gestational age and large for gestational age babies compared to those with appropriate size for gestational age. (Not interested in breastfeeding? Switch to my other account: @tedgreiner.bsky.social

Dear Followers, finally Bluesky restored my other account, lost for months: @tedgreiner.bsky.social. That's where I was posting about everything not related to breastfeeding. If you are interested in left-wing politics and not breastfeeding, do switch over!

The Republicans no longer have to do anything to get the vote. After Trump hurt them the first time, 80% of Kansas farmers voted for him again anyway. Now facing bankruptcy, some say changing your vote is like changing your religion. Enjoy the poor house, MAGA voters www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u...

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried. It’s. All. Lies. All the time.

Americans have been duped. Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy. That’s how you make America great.

“Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost.” — A. Whitney Griswold

No wonder so many countries are warning their citizens about travel to the US. How is it different from North Korea now?

When you take a vacation while your constituents are drowning that’s called a Ted Cruise.

It's hard to understand how the big right wing brains behind P2025 thought that firing the experts needed to predict weather and issue warnings was going to reduce mention of climate change, thus benefiting their beloved non-renewable energy industry. Though much of the media obey in advance now.

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws. Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide. This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

USAID now stands for Unleashing Subsidies for the Affluent In Disguise. Trump’s loading up the aid truck—with sacks of gold for billionaires. No food. No meds. Just tax breaks for those choking on caviar. Humanitarianism is dead. Long live the donor class. #USAID

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history. How did he do it? NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs. Socialism works

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care. 🔗 thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com

Americans have really got to unlearn the propagandist indoctrination that socialism is bad. It means that everyone has what they need, resources are shared, and we care for the earth & those around us. We've been taught to hate it so capitalists can keep exploiting us and working us to death.

They didn’t just shut down USAID. They liquidated it. No roll call. No floor speech. Just silence— and rotting rice where mercy used to be. They killed the idea that America could care. Read the eulogy no one gave: thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com/p/the-eulogy...

There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.

They gave more money to ICE than China spends annually on its entire military

🌍 Obesity in Africa raises concerns over ultra-processed foods. ✅ But minimally processed foods help reduce waste, boost nutrition, and support local economies. ⚖️ A balanced approach is key. 📄 Read more: bit.ly/4eAsUBV #Nutrition #FoodSystems #Africa

I was in the CBP facilities in Texas in 2019. People freaked out when I called them concentration camps (they were). The new camps, ex: Alligator Auschwitz, are death camps. Catch up, folks.

The Senate GOP passed the largest wealth transfer in US history yesterday. It includes a $975 billion income tax break for the 1%, the largest cut to food stamps in history, and a 60% increase in the number of uninsured Americans. This is a dramatic escalation in class warfare.

Taking €100s of MILLIONS in donations from fossil fuel lobbyists & giving away €10s of BILLIONS in annual fossil fuel subsidies is not cowardice. It’s complicity in the annihilation of our children’s futures.

I think members of congress should have to comply with a work requirement to get healthcare.

The giant American digital companies believe they have the right to impose America's pro-racist, pro-Nazi idea of "free speech" on the entire world. Brazil is one of the very few willing to say, "No, actually you don't."

"The Nazi regime benefits from the fact that its atrocities overstep the limits of credibility.” –British author Elizabeth Bibesco, 1934

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them
