Christmas is coming. Remember how we pressured ABC to put Kimmel back on with our wallets? Well, many of the fascist oligarchs make a lot of money off of us at Christmas time. Maybe this year, we ignore the big stores and buy local, modest gifts. It's not supposed to be about money anyway.

I talked to a NOAA colleague yesterday who told me that 75% of the federal employees of his division have left and he’s worried about their ability to get work done even if Congress funds NOAA at some level. The devastation to science will be felt for generations.

Maryland and 19 other states are rightfully suing the Trump Admin for illegally shutting down a FEMA program that supports critical flood prevention and other disaster mitigation projects to protect communities here and across the country.

Glad Attorney General Brown is taking on this fight.

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH.

These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures.

How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?

Are vaccines safe?
What’s actually in them?

In this episode of Science in 5, WHO’s Dr. Kate O’Brien breaks down how vaccines are tested, approved, and monitored even after they reach the public. She also explains what happens if a safety concern is flagged.

I used to work for an independent research company that did studies of the programs for the aging. Caregivers already get almost no support. A few hours one day a month is not enough when that's used for errands and not rest.

The decision leaves the state on the hook for $200 million or more in additional expenses for debris cleanup and other emergency work.

The bottom line: Once again, 45 has said one thing and done another, and sadly, North Carolinians will pay the price.

45 is a sorry S.O.B.

It's been a rough few months made up of a seemingly endless series of rough days. But at least today we learned that Dan Bongino fucking hates the job he never should have been given, so that's nice.

🙋‍♂️ I was in *the safety trial* for (the original) Gardasil HPV vaccine for males. And I can assure you that I was like this before I got the shots. I can also confirm firsthand that vaccines are tested for safety more times and in more ways than most people will ever be able to comprehend.

Amanda Gorman finished this poem just after the January 6 riot.

Read the full poem here: www.cnbc.com/2021/01/20/a...

Never give in to the lie that there's nothing left worth fighting for. “For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.”

Goodnight 💚
