We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.

China’s Xi rolls out the red carpet for Putin and Modi as Trump upends global relations - CNN

I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade. We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration. History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.

Don’t look away

This administration of extremists, quacks, and grifters continues to endanger the lives and health of millions

“My friend got hit in the back… my friend Victor saved me, he laid on top of me…” We are failing them.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Trump threatens & investigates his political opponents — Democrats & Republicans. He says, in violation of the Constitution, that he has “the right to do anything [he] wants.” Is there one Republican who has the guts to stand up to this rapid movement toward authoritarianism?

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
