@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "A rightwing blogger, who has credentials at the WH, came to an area where some of the legislators are staying and started reporting online about it. He then put up a map and put a pin on the map and said, 'This is where these Texas legislators are.' So that started this."

If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:
yesterday I overheard a little kid asking their mum why I was using a wheelchair, and the mum simply replied "well maybe his legs need a bit of extra help. you can ask him if he's happy to tell you more." no shaming the kid for asking, no treating disability as a hush hush topic

My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.

The decision follows a comprehensive review of mRNA-related investments initiated during the COVID-19 public health emergency. “We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “BARDA is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu. We’re shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate.”
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
