Bad news: Anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at US health agencies and are doing everything they can to take away vaccines. Good news: Despite all their spin, in reality they have been too incompetent to do anything effective to restrict vaccine access in any meaningful way so far.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Feeling like fall!!!

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

If they’d rather send troops into cities and shut down the government instead of releasing the Epstein files, what’s in them must be even worse than we thought.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

A bill empowering Congress to censor information about its members online has passed the Senate. But it's not too late to stop it. Use our new action center tool to tell the House not to sacrifice transparency for a false sense of security.

If you haven't seen it yet: Kristi Noem is now posting a propaganda video of ICE flash banging their way into the South Shore apartment building in the middle of the night to zip tie helpless children and old people.

The guy who is blowing up boats and getting away with it is the same guy who said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. He told us who he was. And people voted for him anyway.

Cats get away with sitting on you so you can’t get up, and also stealing your seat the second you do get up, and that’s pretty impressive.

This is… probably a cat :3

I haven't seen one single study that shows it's harmless to keep getting Covid again & again. But there are thousands of peer-reviewed studies that document long-term harms

A baby has died of whooping cough in Mississippi amidst their worst pertussis outbreak in more than a decade. If you have a loved one with an infant or are near babies a lot, please consider getting a pertussis booster, as is recommended by legitimate science and healthcare professionals.

Son randomly says to a relative yesterday, “you know what really annoys me sometimes, when people ask me if I’m wearing a mask because I’m sick, I’m like no, I’m wearing it cause I don’t want to get sick. It’s like asking me if I’m wearing a raincoat because I’m wet, like bruh.”

The way Argentina finessed American taxpayers should be studied The U.S. gave Argentina $20 million to save their free-falling economy and Argentina turned around and cut tariffs for soybean exports to zero. Then they sold their soybeans to China shutting out American soybean farmers

Disabled and Covid Cautious people: “Don’t ban masks we’re in a pandemic and they’re a critical tool to protect ourselves” Government: “Too bad. Masks are criminalized”. ICE: “Don’t ban masks we need to hide our faces while we torture people” Government: “Mask bans are unconstitutional”

This week, Trump announced funding for AI-driven pediatric cancer research. But don't be fooled. He's already cancelled longstanding research efforts into pediatric cancers, leaving kids and their families in limbo. Mary Canales, PhD, RN, shares her thoughts on this cruelty.

Health insurers that offer Medicare Advantage are pulling out of markets and reducing services on 2026 in anticipation of further cuts to government funding. Defend Public Health recommended expanding health coverage to improve Americans’ health in our IHAT report MAHA is cutting it.

A pregnant woman in Alberta, Canada contracted measles. This led to her baby being born prematurely. The baby died. Another preventable tragedy.

My Filipino American History Month display at my library. It’s my honor each year to showcase & uplift Filipino stories. Just 5 years ago, I didn’t have enough books to even put up a display, but now my display overflows. I marvel at how far we’ve come. And yet there’s always room for more. #booksky
