Vaccination as a cause of autismβ€”myths and controversies Despite significant progress in the study of the epidemiology and genetics of autism, the etiology and patho-physiology of this condition is far from being elucidated and no curative treatment current...

Vaccines do not cause autism. If you need a quick reference to studies that disprove this relationship:

I live in Florida, and I don’t blame you one bit.
Most of us still see you as our dear friends and are heartbroken.

Stop the SAVE Act The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

Whether you changed your name because you got married or any other reason, the SAVE Act could keep you and millions of others from being able to vote.

Tell Congress: Protect our democracy and reject this dangerous bill.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

EncyclopΓ¦dia Britannica will continue to use β€˜Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze.
I worked at an organization that
-helped veterans who have lost a limb
-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Duke Energy, Tampa Electric customers to pay at least $20 monthly hike for storm costs Florida regulators met to approve the large hurricane surcharges Tuesday.

Hurricanes already leave lasting impacts on my neighbors wallets - but DeSantis’s regulators want customers to pay even more, while utility shareholders line their pockets.

Our planet & our pocketbooks deserve better.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk has no place in the Treasury Department, USAID or other agencies.

House Democrats will be fighting this blatant corruption with every tool at our disposal.

I just spoke with an attorney who works with the NOAA, and there is a valid path to shut down what's happening. The agencies are compromised, the IGs are fired, etc.

We need a state AG (she said NY would be best) to file a lawsuit seeking an injunction using state and federal cybersecurity laws.

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers:
β€œThe accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
