In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

I just donated to NPR and encourage you to do the same. I'll make it a monthly contribution.

The paperwork trap: A sneaky way to cut Medicaid in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'? Republicans want to add work requirements for Americans to get Medicaid. Is that a necessary step to fight "waste, fraud, and abuse" or a sneaky way of cutting the social safety net?

Summary of Hegseth press conference:

1. Trump is the greatest military strategist & political leader in human history.

2. This was the most brilliant military operation ever.

3. Iran will ever bother anyone again thanks to Trump’s leadership.

4. The media is mean.

Let me just point here that transGENIC mice are not the same as tranGENDER mice.
Transgenic mice are those where we introduce a gene into one of their chromosomes to study mechanisms of disease and find cures.
Transgender mice, as described by D. Trump in his recent congress speech, do not exist.🧪

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Today, around ten thousand people gathered at Tesla showrooms across 50 states and internationally to protest Elon Musk (DOGE). We encourage everyone to join again next Saturday, March 8th, with more events planned.

If the UK’s immigration rules mean what they say, Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to enter the country, let alone for a state visit ….

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Trump and Elon are destroying the Social Security Administration, and without staff & offices, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period.

I put together a fact sheet about what Elon's decimation of Social Security will mean for YOU.

Please share it far and wide.

This Backyard Bird Has a Lot to Teach Us about Sex Variability White-throated Sparrows demonstrate that traits we usually associate with sex can be influenced by genes that are not on sex chromosomes

Here’s a super interesting and rather complex bird story about colors and mates and chromosomes. Biology rarely fits into neat binary narratives! 🪺🧬🧪

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Going to just plop this here.

SMH.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏

LETS DO THIS!

DEI Watch List

MAGAs at American Accountability Foundation have started a website to rat out those suspected of practicing DEI. They have a watchlist & a tip line, and they just got a “tip” from E.T. Schitt 😂😂

Ok internet, you know what to do! “Good Trouble”
