We'll have a newborn this COVID/FLU season, and I'll be able to get it since I'm pregnant, but my husband, a HS teacher, and daughter who goes to daycare won't putting the baby at risk! This is frankly absurd, and completely against everything I was taught about public health!

HAYES: “The United States siding with Putin against democratic allies will have massive consequences for global politics for decades to come.”

One and a half was a solid kicker here

Until I was pregnant myself, I had no clue how dangerous pregnancy can be....this is much needed research!

"Each vaccine on the childhood schedule is a triumph of science and medicine over disease" And thankfully, we have eradicated many diseases WITH vaccines. Do we really want them back? Do we really want to fear more for our children's lives than we already do?

For the record, I would sign up again to get the childhood vaccine schedule in a heart beat. Public health, including vaccines, saves lives!

Yup! They lost my business. Have had to get creative, but so far have been able to find everything at Costco or Wegmans

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Same! Joined this weekend, hoping we can find everything we need between Costco and Wegmans If only we had more storage!

Understand this: Elon Musk’s wealth is tied directly to contracts and regulations from the government agencies he now controls. He spent over $280 million to elect Trump and now he's cashing in — AND they got rid of the inspectors general who could hold him accountable. Gross corruption.

A reminder about the value of preorders: Someone just placed an order for the new Joan Didion book coming out in April. We hadn't heard about it yet and promptly ordered five more for the store. If there's a book you're excited about, place a preorder! You might help other people find it, too! 💙📚

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

"What can we do?" LIBRARIES ARE FREE. THE INTERNET IS FREE. LOOK IT UP.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, reacquaint yourself with the world, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important 📚❤️

Happy birthday, Elmo! 🥳 Congratulations on your library card!

There was a reason the EPA was created in the 70s. We have learned to take granted the comparatively clean air and water we have today.... #EPA #climate I genuinely don't even know where to focus my attention right now, and I'm sure that's part of the point.

Remember if you're alarmed by Elon Musk accessing sensitive Treasury Data, it's very EASY to email your Senators to ask them how your SS# is going to be used! This is still important even if you Dem Senators like here in Maryland! #DOGE #resist #senators #elon

TRUDEAU: “I want to speak directly to Americans — our closest friends and neighbors… yes, this will harm Canadians, but it will also have real consequences for you.” #TrumpTradeWar

I think a big difference between what’s happening now and the Star Wars prequels is our version of the Sith outright let us know over and over again “We are evil people here to make things bad for most of you but better for us” beforehand and millions of people still voted for them.

Breaking News: Two top officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development are said to have been put on leave after refusing to give representatives of Elon Musk access to a secure area.

Thank you, Canada!

I have proudly been a scientist my whole life. We are now watching the deliberate destruction of American science at the hands of the corrupt regime. Data is disappearing, young scientists are not getting paid, free speech is crushed. We can fix this, but we don't have much time to undo the harm. 🧪🌏

@USAID is enduring an unlawful shutdown, purge, and dismantling. It’s thrown its vital work into turmoil—based on spurious, absurd, and willfully slanted attacks. Here's what’s real: the massive and growing harm now being caused. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

A lot of white romance readers are going to dip into Black romance, which is great though I’ll remind you it’s not just for February! I also recommend white readers learn context.
