A The Atlantic The Coming Swell of Scientists-Turned-Politicians Instead of trying to depoliticize science, they're running for office. By Katherine J. Wu "Politics came for us," Andrews said. "You can't fight bad politics by staying apolitical." Andrews is running to unseat Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate, but she said she has found success in casting Kennedy -arguably the country's most polarizing health secretary to date-as an opponent, too: "The more I speak out against the absurdity of RFK Jr. and his recent actions, the more traction I am getting." DR. ANNIE ANDREWS

Politics came for healthcare and the only way to fight back is by getting political.

So proud to be one of many doctors running for office this cycle and so grateful for @314action.bsky.social and their support. 🇺🇸

The President of the United States of America is appealing to the Supreme Court to allow him to starve Americans. Everybody needs to be “woke” right now. Wake up. -Bernice King

It really truly is :-( So difficult for good people to even comprehend how anyone can be as evil and heartless as this administration. But that's also a good way to know who's on the right side of history. Hopefully this causes more and more people who didn't vote to start paying attention.

Empathy is a superpower.

You are able to see others through the lens of all they've carried, and help restore balance.

Don't let the propaganda machine destroy it.

A federal judge ruled that Trump overstepped his authority when he attempted to send National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. The judge’s decision permanently prohibits such troop deployments. Thank you Judge Karin J. Immergut!

Trump got his wish to starve Americans. The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily withhold portions of SNAP payments for November. Huge thanks to the states and workers who rushed to process benefits before the ruling came down, not all heroes wear capes!

If you’re screaming about the violence being enacted on tax payers by the United States government, you are not overreacting.

You are not overreaching.
You are not overstating.
You are not alone.

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.
