Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science These graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

Expressing moral outrage at people who are suffering other people’s decision to vote for this hell, is obtuse. You can’t expect them to not be angry & have empathy for those who chose this.

A drawing of a perfect phone that only has three buttons on it, one of them says IS HE DEAD one of them says AM I BROKE and the other one says RELAXING PUZZLE GAME

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

the thing about waiting for the perfect victim is that fascists simply lie all the time. they will smear anyone. it's what they do.

something like 75% of the people on that plane were proven to have absolutely zero criminal records, and they ALSO have House reps, and those House reps have offices to picket and phone lines to tie up

"So-and-So just did ____, why can't YOU do that???" is a pretty good attack in these cases!

The good news is that standing up to Trump is something the Democratic base will reward you for. WHICH IS WHY ITS BAFFLING MORE DEMOCRATS ARENT DOING IT

Classic abuser move: create a crisis and then position yourself as its solution. After the abuser “solves” the crisis, he will expect gratitude and adoration.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
