They said it was *never* about harming disabled people and their family. If that were true, if this eugenics-rooted campaign was an "accident," they would have amended their complaint. They didn't. Actions are louder than words.

Read this and form your own opinions about the nature of the court.

More of this, please.

The parents who reject this life saving dose of Vit K are almost all the same people who buy into the "wellness" grift and pump who knows what from supplements into their bodies. Yet they reject a vitamin that can prevent damage and save lives. We owe more to our kids.

This is terrible, because it is the children who are bearing the weight of their parents' poor decisions. It's terrible and gross. Our children deserve better.

It's significantly more offensive that you're responsible for creating policy that causes more cancer patients to die.

Cory Booker sharing Casey Means podcasts with conspiracy theories about Bayer/Glyphosate that make zero sense is peak Democratic party 2026.

This is critical to understanding not just RFK Jr but also the physicians & epidemiologists who are joyfully carrying out his vile agenda—Drs Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Makary, Oz, Høeg, Prasad (until his departure), &, of course, anti-vaxx “MAHA Mom” Sara Brenner www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/h...

It had the potential to be an American Renaissance. It's shameful that it is not as central to basic education as the Founding of the US, and more time than all the battles of the civil war we had to learn about in school.

#ICYMI: Another disruptive nationwide ruling from the Fifth Circuit last night—this one to require, on a *nationwide* basis, that any dispensation of mifepristone be after an *in-person* doctor visit. Danco Labs has already sought emergency relief from the full Fifth Circuit, so this'll move fast:

One thing people don’t realize is that even if you don’t use Medicaid—even if you never would use Medicaid—your ability to access care, and your ability to access healthcare providers like me, will be affected in some way or another by every cut or barrier to Medicaid. Nobody will be unaffected.

Imagine anyone doing this today. Putting the welfare of little kids before the literal fortunes you could hoard.

Prior auth do save ins co $ SHORT TERM, by making access to care harder. I've paid out of pocket for certain things b/c it's not worth the headache to fight and/or wait. Each step that denies or delays care is big $$$ across millions of ppl.

notably his cure is from CAR-T therapy, which is so new I didn’t even learn about it in med school THIS is why we invest in science

My then 1 grader came home after a lockdown drill. I asked her how she felt. She said she felt bad for kids who never had lockdown drills--because they wouldn't know what to do if there was a shooter. My position is people shouldn't be shot, but I exhausted my sympathy on kids, not the powerful.

This is how research to improve the lives of autistic people needs to be conducted. How can we support, not "cure." And always include input from #ActuallyAutistic people.

OMFG, Bhattacharya censoring a CDC study because it contradicted his MAHA movement’s anti-vaxx views and firing NIH staff whose views he disapproves of, RFK Jr firing the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices & replacing them with anti-vaxx activists, and now this. Chilling censorship

"A reason one hospital visit can devastate household finances is that nearly 1 in 4 (23%) Americans are underinsured." We're not underinsured. We are overcharged. And I bet everyone has a time they got a prior auth, only to get a massive "out of network" bill anyway.

This truck is too expensive. Not the monthly payment (though I'm sure it is), but the expense to others who are hit by this thing, the city streets that it crunches up, and the ever-intensifying climate disasters. The cost is too high.

We MUST do better. And I think that the ideas in the article, like investing in social supports, instead of using police like a sledgehammer for every issue that exists in a multi-faceted & diverse society.

RFK Jr in this hearing.

Who else lived Artemis II and wants to see twice as much NASA, not half as much NASA?

People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years. Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.” wapo.st/4euUt1c

The best descriptor for this progress is miraculous, even though it's a purely scientific breakthrough. Decade after decade there was ZERO progress against this horrific, nearly uniformly fatal cancer. It's unspeakable that we are turning our back on the 1st real improvement in half a century.

Everyone should read this story to understand what is happening at SCOTUS.

82% abandon the treatment suggested BY THEIR DOCTOR due to insurance co. interference. It's a feature (for them), not a bug.

Any form of communication is acceptable and must be supported. People who think that non-speakers aren't communicating/are under the control of someone else aren't listening or paying attention. My LO used her AAC independently (& better than me) from the moment she got it at 3 yrs old.

Not enough people are talking about how hard it is to provide a nutritious, home-cooked dinner at a consistent, reasonable hour when you work a full-time job.

Not medically necessary? This man died because a company that makes BILLIONS of dollars wouldn't authorize $50k in treatment. They fought him straight into an earlier grave. For profit medicine is literally killing us.

Your child could get cancer from a sexual assault. That is why you should get the HPV vaccine. There are a lot of other reasons, but for those who think an anticancer vaccine leads to sex....

Listen, he probably DID really think this was a picture of him as a doctor. Because that's how unfamiliar he is with Christian iconography. Which should be damning to his base.

If your hospital closes and the next closest is only 6 miles farther, your risk of dying just went up by 1% regardless of what conditions you do or don’t have & regardless of anything about you or choices you make. Now imagine how bad 33 miles is. I want my taxes to lower everyone’s risk of dying.

Vote. Every. Election.

Autistic voices, in whatever form, are necessary for true world class research. It will make the world better for everyone. #Momvocate

It is quite astonishing to be at a park in 90 degree heat, after the hottest March in recorded history for all of the western half the US, to see a grown man w/a wife and kids writing "Climate change isn't real" in sidewalk chalk.

This is why the HPV vaccine is so important. Doesn't matter if you're married. Or a virgin. Or whatever. There is sexual assault or your partner can cheat on you. Protect yourselves and your kids. Source: People.com share.google/whKirNqNf1kJ...

When Jay Bhattacharya & RFK Jr canceled federal funding for mRNA vaccine R&D, they wrote 2 of the most putrid OpEds I’ve ever seen—full of vile, pathetic lies I was interviewed about those OpEds here: www.bioxconomy.com/modalities/e... One of the most damaging decisions in public health history

The idea that doctors are getting rich off from administering childhood vaccines is risible. It's not true. Doesn't happen. Pediatricians recommend vaccines either b/c they've seen the diseases they protect kids from, or hope they never do. #Momvocate

Just what we need. To pay for the privilege of having our stuff rifled through and our privacy invaded. It won't be more efficient, either. It never is. Trump pushes privatizing TSA share.google/Gy1oUQvnWNKD...

I'm from the generation where being a teen mom was a huge scarlet letter. Especially among the "party of family values."

The leadership at HHS has an agenda, and that is to deprive the United States of vaccines, most especially COVID19 vaccines. These people have no problem making claims about their belief that COVID19 vaccines are harmful without any data at all. Now they are hiding data showing the benefits.

Yeah, so as I had feared, RFK Jr. went and did it. New charter for ACIP is out today. Quote from @drdemetre.bsky.social “The new charter shifts ACIP into an organization focused more on risk and has provided a platform for organizations that have historically been opponents of vaccination”.

Local elections are incredibly important. And they're where your vote often has the most impact!

They support automatic registration for the draft, but want to forbid any state from allowing automatic registration to vote.
