This is one of the worst science-related actions we've seen from this administration this year, and that's saying a lot.
This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

"Journalism needs active backing as our revenue streams dwindle and attacks from the far-right increase. If you take one thing away from this letter, let it be to support your favorite journalists so they can keep doing what they love."
After three years and nine months, today was my last day working as a staff reporter for @realchangenews.org.
Over 196 issues (yes, I’m holding most of them in my hands) and 350+ articles, it was an immense honor to report on people and communities who make Seattle great, their many multitudes.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Possibly ignorant question here, but… why is saying “that shooting is awful, and also the victim said toxic things” a lot worse for our politics than telling people at a political rally to “choose violence”?
Because at least according to levels of attention and criticism, the former is much worse.

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. Political violence is unacceptable.
At the same time, dying doesn't give anyone the right to rewrite history. He said what he said. And a lot of it was hate and lies.
