Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.

@bsky.app , do better.

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

This is how they claim you were 'over the line'. They pull you over and start the riot for themselves.

In which @dereklowe.bsky.social is fired up.

War torn Portland.

I've always said this, but since last November, I've been pointing this out frequently in whatever venues to whatever audiences I can: "The planet NASA studies most is Earth."

When someone defines a woman as an adult human female get them to define each word separately.

‘Biological Female’ is NOT a scientific term, it's a PROPAGANDA TERM used by Putin & other RWNJ politicians!

See you there!

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

"Nearly impossible for NIH staff to do our jobs": Jenna Norton's speech for the Civil Servants Coalition At the Capitol, Monday 9/29

@jenna-m-norton.bsky.social ‘s speech at the Capitol on Monday.

“As a federal worker, I am here to tell you that every awful thing that would happen in a shutdown—shuttering programs that Americans rely on, damaging our economy, firing federal workers—all of this is already happening.”

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter

Winner of mRNA Nobel Prize says ACIP member’s claim that Covid vaccines persist is “absolutely impossible” In a Q&A with STAT, Nobel winner Drew Weissman addressed concerns raised about Covid shots at a recent meeting of federal vaccine advisers.

Maryland Department of Health issues respiratory virus vaccine guidance, COVID-19 vaccine standing order Provides recommendations for clinicians and consumers to protect public health Baltimore, MD – The Maryland Department of Health has reaffirmed its commitment to following scientific evidence, taking important steps to protect broad vaccine access for Marylanders. In addition to sharing clinical vaccine guidance for healthcare providers and vaccine recommendations for individuals for the 2025-2026 respiratory virus season, the Department has issued a standing order to ensure COVID-19 vaccine access and joined the bipartisan Northeast Public Health Collaborative to align with neighboring states to protect public health.

NEW: Maryland just issued a standing order for anyone to get the Covid vaccines, and they also announced they'll be joining the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. health.maryland.gov/newsroom/Pag...

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

Do NOT allow them to rewrite history with disinformation. #COVID vaccines worked remarkably well and allowed us to come out of a global pandemic. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.

This is how the police dealt with them.

Literally beat the hell out of them.

This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

This is not how preventative interventions work.

No individual knows that their death was prevented by vaccine. Many people get COVID and dp not die. Was this due to vaccine?

Modeling and statistical estimates are the ways to estimate the impacts.

His desire for "real data" is real bullshit.

So I have a question...

RFK, Jr. says he does not believe "modeling studies" to estimate the number of premature deaths prevented by COVID vaccines, He want to see real data.

Question: What data does he have in mind?

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

“The English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans”

Jesus Christ.

COVID vaccines are the most studied vaccines ever, and there is abundant evidence of their effectiveness. This thread does a great job of summarizing it.

Rand Paul can fuck right off.
