A loving cup

Oh, they're totally going to blame the mothers for the existence of autistic people. It's eugenics wrapped in misogyny.

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose.

Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today.

Speak to your medical provider.

Ousted CDC director says Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to change immunization schedule Susan Monarez told a Senate committee Wednesday that she was fired for refusing to go along with the health secretary’s unscientific agenda.

Well, Kennedy is going to change the childhood vaccine schedule despite a promise not to—this month, ousted CDC head Susan Monarez says. Kennedy also wanted her to meet with his anti-vaccine lawyer friend, Aaron Siri, the guy who petitioned to revoke the polio vaccine. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Screenshot from Fox News that says CDC official includes 'pregnant people' terminology and pronouns in resignation letter Daskalakis accused President Trump's administration of attempting 'to erase transgender populations' By Alex Nitzberg • Fox News Published August 28, 2025 1:47pm EDT

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A.

Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions.

This what Fox News served.

CDC Director Dr. Monarez was allegedly ordered to accept ACIP’s forthcoming recommendations for COVID19 vaccines regardless of what the evidence from scientific data shows.

This got me emotional, it’s just enraging that he’s destroying such an essential org

Important.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

An open letter to the American public on respiratory virus vaccines Read an open letter to the general public from the AMA and medical societies reaffirming support for vaccination to protect against flu, COVID-19, and RSV.

This is unprecedented. The AMA and other medical professional societies speak as one on respiratory virus vaccines and in their own way, say the Trump Administration cannot be trusted with your health. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

An ACIP member today aired concerns about a large number COVID vaccine reports to CDC VAERS safety monitoring. Important to remember that COVID vaccination easily dwarfs 30 years of vaccination: 241 million US residents got at least 1 dose by the end of 2021.

Clearing up some rumours/ misinformation about thimerosal in the body Reading comments online that are spreading bad information about thimerosal (ethylmercury) in the body post-vaccination, let's clear the record using our education in pharmacology and toxicology: 1- We cannot extrapolate methylmercury pharmacokinetics to ethylmercury: • Methylmercury is more easily absorbed, and deposits into more tissues, specifically the brain, and stays in the body much longer. It is highly absorbable from the Gl tract, a longer half-life, much slower metabolization and clearance and the ability to accumulate for longer periods. • When vaccines are given, thimerosal is immediately converted to ethylmercury, which is then very quickly converted into the much less toxic inorganic mercury, which does not significantly absorb into other body tissues and is quickly cleared out of the body. Studies have shown thimerosal's mercury content is eliminated from the body much more rapidly and effectively. 2- Exposure amounts to methylmercury from seafood is exponentially higher than the tiny amounts of ethylmercury you get from thimerosal in vaccines. The amount from a dose of flu vaccine is similar to methylmercury from eating 3oz of tuna, but with significantly lower absorption and much faster clearance. (Unambiguous Science and Dr. Ryan Marino)

Not sure why thimerosal is getting attention again but please feel free to use/share this info (& follow @sabivm.bsky.social)

1) thimerosal is in <5% of all available flu (& only flu) vaccines
2) eating 3 oz tuna fish is objectively greater mercury exposure risk than a thimerosal-containing vaccine

Thanks for this thread. Couldn’t stand to watch

Shout out to
@lindseyboylan.bsky.social who put it all on the line four and a half years ago and then was hitting the pavement hard since Cuomo got in the race and through today. A portrait in bravery.

Was that two weeks in dog years?

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

One of the most spectacular tricks that the “wellness” grift has managed to pull off is convincing people that their industry is untainted by money. That they are all doing it out of their deep concern for their customers’ health.

Yet the global supplement industry alone is worth $177 billion.

What are some good orgs for trans youth that could use some donations on this awful day? Reply below.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

I wrote about this back in April: Places like NYC becoming unaffordable is a *huge* problem for Democrats nationally. If Cuomo wins the mayoral race, it's much likelier the electoral college becomes nearly unwinnable for Democrats in 2032. amandalitman.substack.com/i/160446970/...

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

Secretary Kennedy on X: "On Monday, I took a major step towards restoring public trust in vaccines by reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). I retired the 17 current members of the committee. I’m now repopulating ACIP with the eight new members who will attend ACIP’s" / X On Monday, I took a major step towards restoring public trust in vaccines by reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP).

8 new ACIP members. Malone, Kulldorff, several others I'm not as familiar with. Meissner I believe also went contrarian during COVID?
