There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening.

My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can.

In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values.

MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

On Memorial Day, we remember the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

We owe them and their families a debt that we can never truly repay, and we honor them today and every day by doing our part to defend the freedoms and values they died to protect.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

Hey all, here's a post at @ssrc.org about how anti-trans talking points are getting wrapped into Google's AI search results.

AI search not only cites anti-trans disinfo, but sanitizes it, making practices like conversion therapy sound legitimate and safe.
