At a health center in Uganda yesterday I came across a line of moms who had walked three hours with their babies to get them vaccinated. They value vaccines, because they see kids dying without them. They understand modern science and medicine more clearly than our HHS secretary.
Worth reading the full resignation letter from the head of center for immunization. "I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health."

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?
Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

Telling women to modify their behavior to avoid being victims of violent crime ignores the actual issue of predators being predatory. Predators like a challenge and still telling victims they are responsible absolves the predator completely.

Bill Moyers, brilliant journalist, commentator and press secretary to President Johnson, is dead at 91.
My favorite Moyers story: LBJ asked him to say grace at a White House dinner, then interrupted: "Bill, don't mumble!"
Moyers: "I wasn't speaking to you, Mr. President."

The head of the Department of Homeland Security literally just declared war on the second largest city of the United States and the state with the largest economy. Then a US senator was dragged out, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed.

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

The same is true for raids on restaurants—rounding up people who are working hard and contributing to their community.
It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.
