From Jan. 2025 - March 2026, 100+ pro-censorship bills were introduced in state legislatures. At least 40 bills would penalize libraries and library workers with lawsuits, fines, or even jail time for protecting people’s the right to read. This #RightToReadDay, take action: https://bit.ly/43D9Dtw

On April 12 1955 the first polio vaccine was given. Vaccines are a victim of their own success. People don’t know what it was like. 1/2

Vaccines save lives.

Happy Day to us! Keep being badass to all my fellow women physicians and thank you to Elizabeth Blackwell for blazing the trail for us

Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Pam Bondi sends letter telling Minnesota officials if they turn over their voter rolls to Trump and his tech broligarchs they will remove ICE from Minnesota. It was never about immigration. It's about cheating in the midterms.

Anyone not promising accountability, running on it, or fighting for it, should be ignored and primaried.

There’s a bitter irony in these headlines.

Created a book brick last night with the Silent Book Club of Monmouth County. I was overly ambitious with my choice of book cover but it’s my absolute favorite and happy with my result

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials said Wednesday. Full Story: bit.ly/3XQK9qX

Sunday family movie night. Holy Sh*t this was a crazy one (yeah yeah I know can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before)

The Center for Disease Control can now officially be renamed the Center for Disease Communication Make no mistake: this is a vote to kill Americans for years to come www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

1/ ⚠️ Breaking: At CDC, we've been told the US Government will not officially commemorate World AIDS Day this year. No explanation given.

The CDC website has been lobotomized. Where it once presented the decades of evidence debunking the false claims of a link between vaccines and autism, that has now been replaced with junk science.

Our 2nd #altMMWR is short & sweet, describing efforts to get more birthing hospitals enrolled in the Vaccines for Children program This means more babies can get get HepB vaccines and nirsevimab Now, almost half of babies born in the US should be covered Progress!! 💪 www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

#idweek2025 @drdemetre.bsky.social #hivma award 🎉 standing ovation 👏 #weareid @hivma.bsky.social we need to lead with moral courage & fidelity to science #advocacy

A standing ovation for me and @drdebhoury.bsky.social during a celebration of C. Everett Koop’s legacy! His moral courage should inspire all of us in #PublicHealth and #Medicine. Speaking truth to power and sticking to the science can change the world!

Bernd gets it!

Beyond the false anti-vaccine talking points, beyond peddling Wakefield-level bullshit over MMR, telling pregnant women with a headache to “tough it out” instead of taking Tylenol or they’ll give their baby autism is something else. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Trump: "Asceda -- well, let's see how we say that. Ascenem -- enophin. Acetaminophen. Is that okay?"

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

'We are rookies': Day 2 of CDC vaccine meeting opens with a reversal and a surprise - NPR What a clown show

Newborn lives are on the line. The hepatitis B birth dose is safe, effective, and lifesaving yet it’s under attack at ACIP this week. Weakening this policy would be a grave mistake. Read why we must defend it. open.substack.com/pub/bktitanj...

Current ACIP committee demonstrated today they lack scientific literacy and basic vaccine knowledge. They peddled conspiracy theories and their slides and images were poorly done and unprofessional. Appalling really.

Buckle up. We are going to see more of this type of thing. Infants hospitalized with vaccine preventable diseases. It’s a travesty

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

Appropriate after today’s announcement that Florida is removing ALL vaccine mandates

This is F’ing insane. I’m sorry for all the reasonable people who live there and immunocompromised kids www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Hey New Jersey, join hands in solidarity against Trump’s authoritarianism at Hands Across NJ on September 17. Thousands of New Jerseyans will join hands from Fort Lee to Washington Crossing to form a living chain of resistance.

Vaccines save lives. Period

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists would devote their entire lives to deceiving you, but a con man proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
