We have to choose better this years midterm. Vote
Some people forget how badly DOJ failed America. Not only did they fail to prosecute ANY coup ringleaders, they let Trump out of one crime after another. Often for POLITICAL reasons. This from MIDTERMS in 2022! As Garland's DOJ failed ALL TERM to prosecute coup ringleaders & countless other crimes.

Shameful act by one man on a nation.
The US will no longer be considered a country that has eliminated measles—just about the most infectious disease we know of & extremely dangerous—in about twenty days because measles transmission has been sustained in the United States "SINCE AROUND JAN. 20."

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Remember this in 2026. Silence is not in our 2026 mindset. Be careful out there we love you. #resist.

“You can overwhelm science” is so 2025
Dr. Oz on the "super flu": "Every year there's a flu vaccine. It doesn't always work very well. That's why it's been controversial of late. But like many illnesses, the best news out there is if you can take care of yourself so that when you do end up running into the flu, you can overwhelm it."

Taxpayers and voters. Be aware. Official dating for received could be days after being dropped off at a post office. Make your vote count for democracy! #voting #usps #taxes #irs
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

This could end up very badly for American children. The impression that vaccines are not for health is an obscene gesture for public health. Vaccinate your children.
This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Your household now has to pay about $100 to a farmer.

Most of the farmers voted for the tariffs you now have to compensate them for.

Tariffs are not the only thing bringing farms down, but they're one of the biggest.
