The thing is Trump does have a really strong voice.
But we also have a voice.
My voice alone isn’t strong.
But there are MILLIONS of us that will stand up to his nonsensical and cruel orders and policies.
He is no king.
He has no majesty.
He will not overcome us.

There’s no vaccine bogeyman that’s worse than the grim reality of advanced liver disease. I’m so sorry we’re going to learn this the hard way.
RFK Jr.'s vaccine panel says not all newborns need Hep B shots

The shot was previously recommended for all infants after birth to prevent an infection that can cause severe liver disease and cancer.

I’m conflicted about drone footage in film.
It’s obviously an amazing new technology and perspective, but also since it’s so easy it seems cheap and lazy to me. :/
Would love to have my mind changed on this.
Comments welcome.

Can we share everything about ourselves with someone else? Is there anyone that can understand and accept all of us?
Maybe that’s why humans created God—a One in which we can safely confide and still be loved.
God is the manifestation of our desire and need to be loved unconditionally.

'A vote to weaken the Hep B birth dose, is the first time in my 21 years as liaison w/ ACIP, that ACIP is voting on a policy that based on all the credible evidence, it will actually put children at higher risk, rather than lower risk of disease & death. ~Dr. Amy Middleman

Here is the email address for Aftyn Behn's congressional campaign office: [email protected]
Bombard their inbox with requests for her campaign to demand a hand recount of Tuesday's election.
If she is a leader worthy of a seat in the US Congress, she will try to stop her election being hacked.

Liver cancer prevention in children. That is what RFK Jr trying to "scale back on" today.
He is a monster.

Today is the start of 2 days of meetings of RFK Jr.'s ACIP, where vaccines skeptics outnumber actual scientists and medial experts. Their target: the Hep B vaccine, which has a ~90-98% (after 3 doses) effectiveness rate in preventing infection for up to 30 yrs.

Doctors warn delaying hepatitis B shot for newborns could revive a deadly threat
As RFK Jr.'s new vaccine panel ponders changing the hepatitis B vaccination schedule, some doctors recall past patients, including children, who died painful deaths before there was a vaccine.

A nation shouldn’t be killing other humans without cause.
Period.

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test
Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors."

Hard to overstate how damning it is they've spun their wheels trying to come up with their strongest possible argument and the best they can do, the rationalization for it Hegseth actually put in writing, is "we can kill shipwrecked survivors if they try to call for help."
2/ The Hegseth-approved contingency plan:
The U.S. military could try to kill shipwrecked survivors if "they took what the United States deemed to be a hostile action, like communicating with suspected cartel members."

As a cellist I often feel like the goal is to be “the best”. But there is no “best cellist”. It’s not like being long-jumper where whoever jumps farthest is best.
So what is the point of playing the cello?
To connect with others? Maybe.
Or maybe it’s just to find out how far you can jump.
