I think it's time to IMPEACH DJT. Enough is enough. Come on Congress. Americans deserve so much better.

"As an untapped resource, grandparents are changing the conversation about vaccines — replacing fear and misinformation with stories, wisdom, and love. Together, we honor our legacy and shape a healthier future for every family.” Dr. Arthur Lavin, Founder GFV @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social

Sending love and hope to the Kennedy's after reading Tatiana's brave essay in @newyorker.com "I have never encountered a group of people who are more competent, more full of grace and empathy, more willing to serve others than nurses. Nurses should take over." Tatiana, how we wish we could.

Lots of comments in support of Tatiana Schlossberg saying they want to do something. She bravely stood up for science rebuking RFK Jr. Get your flu and COVID vaccines-cancer patients depend on herd immunity as they are too immunosuppressed to be vaccinated. Show them some love through action.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM! However Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage. Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars. Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders. Polio can cause respiratory paralysis. Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.

SNAP benefits, just days from termination, will especially hurt mothers, babies and children who depend on these government subsidies to eat. @donnagaffney.bsky.social and I wrote about HUNGER 2 months ago in USA Today. If you live in VA, NJ, PA your vote will help #FiretheGOP This is on them!

Why Grandparents Must Lead on Vaccines progressive.org/op-eds/why-g... Valuable perspective from @nurseteria.bsky.social and @donnagaffney.bsky.social #Vaccines save lives #GrandparentsForVaccines

Grandparents must lead on vaccines. We remember the dangers of vaccine preventable diseases. Our message- it is crucial that every child be vaccinated following the AAP childhood immunization schedule. @donnagaffney.bsky.social and my op-ed is here: www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/us-v...

“Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday night accused President Trump of intentionally fanning the flames of the Los Angeles protests and ‘pulling a military dragnet across’ the city endangering peaceful protesters and targeting hardworking immigrant families.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

LIVE: Prayer vigiI in Los Angeles calling for peace and solidarity Prayer vigil held in downtown Los Angeles, calling for peace and solidarity with immigrants. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpwK...

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom urges peaceful protests: "I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him."

I can forgive many things, but I cannot forgive being so terrible that you give Gavin Newsom a chance to appear courageous.

I drove 3 hours through LA today, on the 10, 110, 101, 60, thru DTLA, past Pasadena. What did I see, traffic slowdowns from two stalled cars. That’s it—If Trump wanted to see our city on fire he should have come in January. Thanks @jqwritesstuff.bsky.social for these photos @nurseteria.bsky.social

relentlessschoolnurse.com/2025/05/03/t... @nurseteria.bsky.social @donnagaffney.bsky.social are back! While measles outbreaks are widely reported in the media, another preventable disease is quietly making a dangerous comeback: pertussis, or whooping cough.

Why would a man who believes vaccines are evil and the cause illness, launch a campaign to cause evil and illness? America's leadership is led by ruthless fascists, and some are delusional. Biden could have led the charge to expel & jail the traitor leaders, like Trump. But he didn't want too.

I had whooping cough last year and it took a full 5 months to get over of the cough. 0 out of 5 Stars. Not recommended. (I thought it had been eradicate and didn't realize I should have gotten a booster).

Kinda crazy there’s a vaccine for this as well. You would think people would stop listening to an anti vaccination person who has been vaccinated

So, let me get this straight. When a boat plowed into the key bridge, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social was targeted as a do-nothing DEI hire But when RFK jr literally drives disease instead of fighting it, there's crickets everywhere?

People, it’s easy , listen to your doctor. Not this administration. They don’t care about you. His own family spoke out against him. He makes a lot of money selling snake oil . Get your kids vaccinated, get yourselves vaccinated. Try to be healthy , use your common sense.

The Trump regime wants all of us sick - poor and stupid. It’s their idea of the Golden Era. Anyone who survives is the house servant or worker .

1st 100 days- NOT 1st in anything! Stocks falling off a cliff. Measles exploding. DOE decimated. NIH, CDC, FDA gutted. National security under siege. US born citizens assaulted and deported. Press under attack. Veterans left behind. Allies alienated. Recession pending. THIS IS NOT NORMAL ‼️🚨

It's not just measles. Major leadership failure by RFK Jr and pertussis is raging! Op Ed nurses @donnagaffney.bsky.social and @nurseteria.bsky.social published today in @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social @justin-gill.bsky.social @defendpublichealth.bsky.social www.seattletimes.com/opinion/add-...
