“…these moves may blunt some of the most damaging effects of Kennedy’s policies. Physicians can still recommend routine immunizations w/ confidence. & even as trust in federal guidance erodes, clinicians and families can turn to trusted medical institutions.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

👏👏👏

Let’s go💙

Does anyone know if Albemarle County has been doing anything for the students who depend on the schools for breakfast and lunch?

I’m just saying….we’re going to need a strategy other than wait for it to melt to get these kids back in school…

If this headline isn’t the perfect summary of the evil, incompetence and pure disdain for children shown by this administration not sure what is… www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...

Today marks a major moment for child health: the AAP has released its updated 2026 childhood and adolescent immunization schedule. Updated annually to reflect the latest scientific evidence, this year’s schedule is formally endorsed by 12 leading medical and healthcare organizations. bit.ly/4r5KbaQ

Good advice naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

Misinformation and rumors cause panic — Share facts only! Try to get the SALUTE information so the sighting can be verified. Not “I saw ICE south of town” but “at about 10am, I saw 4 men in uniforms (couldn’t see what kind) in 2 unmarked black SUVs getting gas at the Exxon on Route 20”

From my trusted friend & social worker @tahoeboulder.bsky.social “Please donate to this group. They are 14,000+ trained rapid responders who are showing up all over the twin cities to witness, observe, record, help community members with groceries, errands and other things…..

Dispacable isn’t strong enough…

Interesting and inspiring story from Tom’s trip through Southside on MLK day!

Let’s be clear about who’s paying the price for John McGuire and Congress’s vote against extending ACA premium subsidies: the middle class, small business owners, and the working poor. This was a gut punch, and it didn’t have to be.

Charlottesville area folks looking for concrete ways to keep out community safe from state violence join us at The Haven on Saturday at 2! (Childcare available!) We keep us safe!

This one deserves its own repost….

This thread is a good explainer…

“Danish health officials also questioned the U.S. following its lead.” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

For the past three decades, kids in the UK got wild-type varicella unnecessarily. The costs of bad vaccine policy aren’t obvious but they are real.

Great and sobering article about what lies ahead…

An amazing organization…worth your consideration for a year end gift!!!

Cville folks - anyone up on how and where one can get Pearl Island these days? Used to be our NYE tradition to get takeout but I no longer know if that is possible!

This means the most!!!! Grateful for all the amazing work Indivisible has been doing and for their support of Tom!

Please consider a donation to Charity to help with her treatment and her children while she’s out of work. www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-...

Couldn’t be prouder! Join us tomorrow night at Random Row at 530 for a launch event!!!

😭😡

Can confirm city roads are not excellent- be careful out there. We’re open if you have a scheduled appointment or a sick kid!

Looking for a #GivingTuesday option that will keep giving? Maybe something that will help folks being terrorized by the current regime? Give to the Central Virginia Community Support Fund, a grassroots, all-volunteer effort that pays immigration bond for Virginians detained by ICE.

Proud to support team #kidvengers and grateful to the amazing organizers of #HCWvsHunger. Health care people- find a local organization and give before tomorrow!!!!

This article is absolutely devoid of context and the irony of the head of the group who insisted on delineating deaths with Covid versus by Covid now suggesting with no data included that these deaths were by the Covid shot is unsurprising but 😡😡😡😡

Thankful 🩵

We would love money, time & resources to learn more about autism. We need to know more about causes & therapies. One thing that HAS been answered clearly and scientifically is that vaccines do not cause autism- confusing and misleading people is a distraction and a waste of time we can’t afford. 

Sending extra love and support to the trans & gender expansive students at Western today and those who love them. YOU ARE LOVED! 💙❤️🩵💚💛🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🧡❤️💚💙
