So a spurious correlation from an observational study is “gold standard science”, but testing vaccines in multiple RCTs with over 30,000 participants each is not?

Trans rights are human rights, and systematically vilifying any group of people for who they are is reprehensible. How we treat the most vulnerable/marginalized shows our true hearts. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

A lot of people who were panic mongering about a woke cultural revolution are conspicuously quiet about a youth activist denouncing a professor for wrong think and that professor being fired as part of a campaign of public shaming by political leaders.

When talking about the flaws of the education system here in the US, there sure is a wide menu to choose from. But lately I think our problems are less about what is taught, how it's taught, etc. and more about a culture which seems to pretend there is a point at which you are "done" with it.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.
