To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

Do not mess with librarians. The inner strength required to meticulously care for history's greatest works of literature and then just let total strangers borrow them willy-nilly is Jedi level stuff.

Vaccines and Autoimmunity: Separating Fact from Fiction Vaccines trigger a protective immune response against infectious foreign pathogens that invade from outside the body, rather than targeting self antigens within.

In the current political and social climate, it is more important than ever to address misconceptions surrounding vaccination with accurate, evidence-based information. open.substack.com/pub/theunbia...

Opinion | Will They Come for PubMed Next? Here's what we lose if the administration takes away this invaluable resource

PubMed has been down for at least 11 hours and we are EXTREMELY concerned. We hope it’s mere incompetence and not an official action. If any of our followers have media events today, please mention it.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

The beauty of their work is the people who work there are neighbors, mothers, fathers, friends… so what they do impacts them just as much as the community. Their goal is to help you like they help their own family.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

When I say doomerism is unproductive, this is what I mean. Self-fulfilling prophecy, etc.

Even if you have no hope on the inside, act like there is hope.

Don't just hand them the win. At least make them struggle.

The reality is that these positions are more important than Sec of Defense because they will do all the work and define all strategies. He won't freelance decisions.

What do you have planned ?

And again show how are you backing them. How are you getting your hands dirty to help us. This yelling of they did this look what they did now is not helpful and makes it seem like they did nothing but contribute.

We need both. We need them to stand together but actually fight not just tell us how bad it is or keep trying to pin us against republicans. They need to start working with level headed non-MAGA republicans and show unity and fight together. While also uplifting the voices of those hurting

Yes! I am like we know it’s bad. Stop talking about what they are doing to this country and start talking about how are you stopping it. How are you fighting this and how we can help.

They also need to start coming out and talking about these things and urging people to flood their reps and senators and they also need to show how they are working to stop this crap show.

Form a shadow government and work as one voice. Take a page from Biden’s book. Not all Republicans are unhinged or unreasonable some just have other values but still believe they are doing the best for the people and not on a personal attack mission to tank this country.

It’s the time to put differences aside and agree on the one thing they can which is the constitution. The Dems count out to try and make the case that Republicans are bad. Instead they need to make the case that MAGA reps is the bad in this country. We need to stop grouping them. They are different

I think the Dems need to start getting some unity with the more level headed and true Republicans (not the MAGA nuts). I know the Republicans would not want to be seen as the enemy but there is power in silent unity with the Dems. They don’t need to go on the news and say what they voted for.

Damn, today is really Sunday January 19, 2025 huh. If you’re an author or writer make sure to engrave your legacy into these historical events. Whatever happens, it will be studied for centuries. YES, CENTURIES.

Adding to this, include public health and preventive care. Health education, public health science and research and communication. Ways to amplify facts and counter misinformation. Prioritize public health in this system so we have less illnesses and more prevention.
