I think it is absolutely scandalous that in just one year of an HHS under the leadership RFK.Jr the US has lost its Measles elimination status and is now on track to do same for perinatally acquired Hepatitis B. These are huge public health wins that took years to accomplish.

This one hits hard.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Someone in a protest on a city street holds a sign that says "ICE endangers all of us."

Someone at a protest holds up a sign that says "New York City stands with Minneapolis!"

Someone holds up a photo of the Statue of Liberty on which is written "We welcome immigrants. ICE is un-American."

A sign is held up in front of tall buildings that says "ICE FUERA AHORA AHORA AHORA".

We refuse to tolerate ICE’s lawless attacks on our communities.

Call on Congress to block any additional funding for ICE at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

"Defending the Constitution in this environment has required more than advance preparation and a sense of urgency. It necessitated an unshakable belief that democratic norms are worth fighting for even when the pressure seems unyielding." Anthony D. Romero, ACLU Executive Director

PIDS statement opposing today’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced changes regarding the organization and presentation of the U.S. childhood immunization schedule. Read the full statement at pids.org/2026/01/05/p...

Today’s announcement that HHS is drastically altering the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule without a transparent process or clear scientific justification represents the latest reckless step in Secretary Kennedy’s assault on the national vaccine infrastructure.

Kennedy Scales Back the Number of Vaccines Recommended for Children

This abrupt change (based on no data) is outrageous and endangers the health & lives of US children. I have seen kids die from flu, meningococcus, and RSV. These deaths are preventable by vaccination. I urge parents to talk to your doctor about how best to protect your kids from these diseases.

Same here. Half our income. Bills going late or partially-paid. My spouse still having to work (and work OVERTIME) for no money.

And we were happy to muddle through, because the cause was worth it.

Absolutely disgusted with Senate Dems.

Then why’d you cave?

Medical Research Funding: Timeline — Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

We have a new timeline up today on our Medical Research Funding page, documenting the onslaught of political, legal, and bureaucratic attacks on medical research since January:

Trust the scientific process. Science by its nature is dynamic, always discovering new knowledge. Rather than simply trusting science, we want to trust the scientific process, and sometimes the path of discovery is steep and windy and full of switchbacks.

As an immigrant scientist in the U.S., travel bans and visa uncertainty are taking a toll “I began to question whether I truly belonged,” this postdoc writes

I can’t imagine the stress of immigrant scientists and international students in the United States these days

The Resistance Is Growing What happens next?

No American president has ever had so many people protest against him, because no American president has ever been so deserving.

Sad to see this piece of US history thoughtlessly destroyed. I remember taking the White House tour as a kid, like so many other Americans. 😢

Austin, Texas showed up in mass for democracy and against monarchy!
#NoKings #Austin #Texas

People who are dismissing these protests are missing the courage required for folks to show up to a #nokings event in small, rural, predominantly Republican communities. These people spend a lot of social capital to show up with signs and it’s really, really inspiring.

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

my god.

A large crowd stands on the town green in Falmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, with signs saying "No Kings" and a rainbow banner saying "Everyone Is Welcome Here". Among the crowd are a large inflatable shark and a large inflatable lobster. The sky is blue, the steeple of a church rises in the background, and American flags are flying.

#CapeCod lobsters, sharks, and humans say #NoKings! At least 1000 people rallied today in little Falmouth, Massachusetts.

We are Americans.

We are free.

And we do not do kings here. #NoKings

ARE YOU READY FOR NO KINGS?? @earthtoeve.bsky.social let us preview her song "No King", releasing TOMORROW on 10.18! NO KING. NO GOD.

Tomorrow will be the biggest protest day in American history. With thousands of events nation-wide - show up to say: We are united against kings.

#nokings

#NoKings Miami!

A village in ruins: ‘I don’t see Kipnuk anymore’

“John said he was inside his home with his mom and younger siblings Sunday when rising water lifted the home from its foundation. They spent hours drifting until the home got stuck on a boardwalk, he said.” www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.
