Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.
So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

“These were indiscriminate enforcement actions going after any person who appeared to be an immigrant. … What’s motivating them is just sheer numbers.”
Most immigrants arrested in Trump’s D.C. crackdown had no criminal records
A Post analysis of federal data shows that the arrests of immigrants with no prior criminal record shot up sixfold during the Trump administration’s crackdown.

And beyond this — it is unethical on so many levels to run randomized placebo-controlled trials in infants. No child in a vaccine trial should be left unprotected and exposed to incurable disease when there is an effective therapeutic vaccine.
Here we have a display of unfalsifiable standards by the anti-vaccine lobby. They want to rule out chronic, late-onset effects from HBV vaccination, which basically means nothing bad can ever happen to vaccinees for decades or else it's the vaccine's fault.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries

Live a sustainable lifestyle while removing your support for the capitalist oligarchy: buying something new should be the last resort. Instead: make do without, mend & repair, buy second hand, etc. As consumers we have the power in this consumption driven economy.

Here in Broadview, outside Chicago, a large group of faith leaders & protesters have gathered this morning outside of ICE’s detention center.
This looks like one of the largest protests on Beach St. in weeks, where the city of Broadview is still enforcing a small “free speech” zone. It’s packed.

On Saturday, open enrollment begins for 2026 ACA coverage. 22 million Americans rely on tax credits that expire in December, which means over four million people could lose coverage.
