As the mother of two scientists, I approve this message.

The judge will rule on the preliminary injunction in the case filed by the AAP and APHA against RFK Jr. before the next ACIP meeting, which is scheduled for March 18-19.

It would be an enormous victory for public health and the people of the United States and if the judge stops RFK Jr.’s ACIP.

No system and no leader can satisfy the human soul. The well from which we drink should not be a captivating preacher or a certain kind of worship experience. Nothing and no one can represent God accurately except by a likeness to Jesus Christ.

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

BTW, the drone we embarrassingly shot down at the border costs $30 million. Tell me again how lunch for school children is too expensive.

Far from being deterred by the 5th circuit, federal judges in Texas appear to be ordering the release of more ICE detainees than before on due process/constitutional grounds. Here is Judge Jason Pulliam, a Trump appointee, joining their ranks. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
