This is a cruel act of bigotry against an amazing woman who served her country with distinction.
Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT
HHS changed the name of transgender health leader on her official portrait

I hate to be so crass. But we gotta start having a different conversation about this shit. We can't mount a defense to any of this until we agree to entertain the possibility that *everyone* involved is either an active scammer or has knowingly decided to be a collaborator.

Currently comparing Miss Mayfly and Patagonia waders for measurements. Thankful that petite options exist because I’m really fucking short. Also thankful I can focus on this for now because things like failed HepB vaccine recs and a murderous Navy are really corrosive to my mental health.

It’s a lot. To watch this Adml/General/SecDef/president/senators call this warcrime righteous and repeat elaborate lies completely defiles and shits all over the service and sacrifice of so many people, and rewounds many of them. Not to mention the dozens & dozens unlawfully killed. Pure treachery.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

What an absolute clown show.
Follow Dorit Reiss, one of the foremost experts on vaccine policy and law, for updates on the catastrophic ACIP proceedings—but only if your blood pressure and nerves can handle it, because what the ACIP kooks are saying is infuriatingly bizarre & unscientific 🤯

Following #ACIP - apparently, ACIP combined the immunization schedule and hepatitis B workgroups - a change not reflected in the ACIP workgroup list, and it was chaired by Dr. Vicki Pebsworth, a director in an anti-vaccine organization, the National Vaccine Information Center.
