Sounds like they're telling the pregnant people to calm down because they're too hysterical. Reminds of of something....can't quite place it

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

-RFK Jr. is telling American medical schools they must offer #nutrition courses to students or lose federal funding

-Literally every med school offers it already

-But our patients can't afford the foods we recommend because the his administration is cutting SNAP benefits

I’ll be collecting photos all week. And if you don’t want to share a photo of yourself then perhaps an icon or other non-identifying photo, with the text, β€œI Stand With You.”

This is an easy way to show support for trans military members (and me).

Please share and spread the word!

In honor of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, I’d like to remind you that your body NEEDS IRON to make serotonin and dopamine and ~40% of 12-21 yo females are deficient and most don’t even know it.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Absolutely this, @markey.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov. You have some of the best staff in the country. Have them prep you and then be ready to step in. Grind the Senate to a halt until there's accountability.

50 Reasons Why Everyone Should Want More Walkable Streets From making you live longer to making cities more resilient: If you want a reason to make your city more walkable, it's in here.

β€œSomeone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

Speaking as a rural Democrat, the strategists’ push to the move Dems to the center is ill-advised.

No one needs Republican lite when there’s a Republican already on the ballot.

A 40-day Target boycott starts today. It couldn’t come at a worse time for the company | CNN Business Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

You know what? Giving up shopping at target and on amazon for lent is not a bad idea. I actually think it may be healthy for the soul, mind and body regardless of whether you believe or not.
Something to consider.

Donald Trump widely laughed at during his State of the Union address after claiming the USA spent β€˜$8 million dollars for making mice transgender’

It was spent on transgenics not transgender, a genome engineering process importing genes from other species

As Texas measles outbreak grows, parents are choosing to vaccinate kids At least 124 people, mostly babies, children and teens, have been infected. Eighteen people have been hospitalized.

I commend every parent who is choosing to do the right thing by vaccinating their child as the measles outbreak spreads. There's no shame in changing your mind on a stance you were wrong about. Especially when it concerns protecting children from disease.
