A “vaccine schedule review” isn’t transparency, it’s political control dressed up as science at the expense of children’s lives.

Removing the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose recommendation because cases are low is like canceling your car insurance because you haven’t crashed today.

white voters can acknowledge the elephant in the living room that all of us see is in fact there.

Then they can solve the problem they created and uphold right?

Right?
These numbers are SHOCKING

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values.

If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin.

This SCOTUS is corrupt.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”

Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

Project 2025 could be halted.

It would take an estimated 7 million or so white Americans, activated daily, willing to be fired from their jobs, even arrested and locked up—for marching and getting in the government’s actual way every. damn. day.

But we can be fairly certain that will never happen.

They are assaulting elected Representatives now. Have been.

Project 2025 consolidates all power with the executive and its military and policing powers.

This will all get much worse. I hate that I am certain of this, as someone highly acquainted with Project 2025.

You need to understand the knee and ankle strength it requires to wear high heels after 50.

It’s why you see less older women wearing them.

I myself still wear high heels. I will never stop.

Your legs are your second heart. Keep them strong.

People have and will continue to be fired all over the nation—by private and government employers—for merely voicing their opinions, not to mention speaking out against white supremacy and fascism.

Imagine how different the planet would be today if Republicans and their Supreme Court hadn’t stolen the 2000 election from then Clinton VP and “global warming” activist Al Gore.

Current Supreme Court Justices Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were ALL lawyers for Bush during the 2000 FL recount. ⚖️ 🇺🇸
