hey guys remember bullying works
DON'T STOP CALLING.

email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow.

once again, DON'T STOP CALLING.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

I just did this PSA for measles, so i'm gonna do it for pertussis now too: If you can't remember the last time you had a Tdap booster, JUST GET A BOOSTER. The recommendation is every 7-10 years unless you have a possible tetanus exposure, but "too much immunity to disease" is not actually a problem!
It's not just measles.

Cases of whooping cough have skyrocketed more than 1,500% since 2021, as vaccination rates have dipped.

In the past 6 months, two babies in Louisiana have died.

anyways. hi, cis folks!

the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11.

context & guidance in the thread below. it’s not hard; you can do it while you’re still angry about other things.

9 days left, as of this post!
hi, cis folks!

if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.

~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.

that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

i keep reading statements from democrats saying they find mahmoud khaleil's views to be abhorrent and despicable before going on to say that he should nonetheless be given due process. but no one has been able to demonstrate what khaleil's views are beyond the admin's assertions. except for cnn:

Wild that the day after the FDA is like "Eh, maybe no flu vax next year lol" the CDC drops a report about how children and adolescents who got a flu vaccine were 32%–60% less likely to visit a doctor because of flu and 63%–78% less likely to be hospitalized.

This report describes interim 2024–2025 seasonal flu vaccine effectiveness estimates in outpatient settings and against flu-associated hospitalizations.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I've never had TikTok, but for non-fascist Americans I really think you should consider the fact that they just engaged in a legally nonsensical stunt to kiss Trump's ass and also are serving as the way for Trump to say he doesn't have to follow laws he doesn't like before celebrating.

I would love to see a breakdown of exactly how much money was wasted on the inane political stunt that the TikTok ban has clearly been this whole time. The legal fees alone, imagine!
