For years, MLK Day and Juneteenth were fee-free days in National Parks. Now?
They are no longer free.
What was added instead?
Flag Day -June 14-Trump’s birthday.
You don’t have to erase a holiday to undermine its meaning
You just make it harder to participate

What Happens to Children When Evidence Offends Power
Children are growing up inside systems that adults actively reshape, or dismantle, in full public view. Those choices are loud, visible, and deeply consequential.

Keeping up with the firehose of outrageous attacks on public health is a full-time job. I have been writing fast and furiously, trying to capture the steady stream of ridiculousness coming from this administration. "It's Go Time! Let's Be Sure Our Voices Are Heard." TY @andeebeeblue.bsky.social

Kudos to @nurseteria.bsky.social for an article spotlighting the new national movement, grandparentsforvaccines.com in @forbes.com. This group is leading a national discussion about the importance of vaccines to protect our grandchildren.

There are moments when we come across a story so deeply rooted in compassion that it leaves a lasting imprint. Philawell.org is one of those stories.

The first days of school feel like stepping aboard a ship already moving through restless waters. Anchors keep ships steady, but they aren’t meant to stay hidden.

The image is seared into memory: a mother, barefoot and breathless, running with shoes clutched in her hands. Her focus is singular—reaching the child she loves—while the world around her erupts with sirens, shouting, and fear.

At a Senate hearing called “Voices of the Vaccine Injured”, Senator Ron Johnson handed the microphone to anti-vaccine activists instead of scientific experts. People with ties to Children’s Health Defense (yes, that’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s group)

Tyranny doesn’t always arrive with a bang. Sometimes it slips in quietly, through orders made in the dark, rights gradually erased, and voices slowly silenced. But it can also come with startling speed, force, and deception - what we are experiencing now!
