We cannot continue to just “wait and see” with this. This moment requires a fast and overwhelming response from all healthcare organizations & professionals. We cannot practice safe medicine when a conspiracy theorist takes over and upends our vital institutions.
BREAKING: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he's disbanding the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in order to "restore trust" in U.S. vaccine science.

Removing fluoride from public water is not only anti-science—it's bad for public health and puts vulnerable communities at risk.

Listen up! The SAVE Act is as scary as people are saying. Our vote is our power, and MAGA in Congress are trying to take it away. Watch this for details, then visit this toolkit to easily warn everyone you know about this bill. We can still stop it! social.redwine.blue/s/uyrcRxZV
Spread the word.

The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill. Period. Congress has NEVER passed a law restricting access to voting like this. We have to call our Senators and Representatives and tell them to vote 'NO' on the SAVE Act! This tool makes it easy. Let's get loud! social.redwine.blue/s/113F1CG6
