I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

We need a name for drawing new maps in blue states to counter what Republicans are doing in red states. THEY are gerrymandering. We are responding. Know what I mean? Like how self defense isn't assault.

If trump did nothing โ€œconcerningโ€ while spending time with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein - as Ghislaine Maxwell says - then there shouldnโ€™t be a problem releasing the Epstein files in their entirety (with survivorsโ€™ names and PII redacted.)

The language Hochul, Pritzker, and Newsom have been using is what we need. All democratic governors should follow their leads. You cannot pussyfoot around fascism. It has to be met, ridiculed, outflanked, and destroyed.
