Resistance doesn’t have to be perfect, just persistent. Keep going.
"The administration has run into both popular and judicial roadblocks—to say nothing of how it has repeatedly gotten its own way—while attempting to impose its will on the federal government and the nation."
Fight! Fight! Fight!

RFK Jr. says childhood vaccines weren’t tested and that COVID boosters need full trials every year.
That’s not how vaccines—or science—work. Time for a #FactCheckFriday!

Musk and SpaceX are among the biggest winners in Trump’s 2026 spending plan. Trump is delivering on Musk’s wish list at both NASA and the Pentagon, reshaping federal space spending to funnel billions of dollars in new business directly to him.

Story time. Have you ever wondered why the CDC is headquartered in Atlanta? The answer in one word: MALARIA. CDC started to prevent the spread of malaria, so we went where the mosquitoes were.
Now, the division that houses our founding mission has an uncertain future.

If your Rep or Senator isn't capable of doing Van Hollen-style stuff — for cowardice reasons, or because they're infirm, or they're belatedly sucking up to a dying Trump movement, or really any other reason — you should primary them. It's gonna take a lot more stuff like this. All hands on deck.

We learned something.
Not only did we learn Kilmar Garcia is alive, we learned that Salvadoran Government responds to pressure. We learned that when a US Senator speaks to the media and cites international law the Salvadoran Government is signatory to that they quickly respond. That's something.

Republicans should immediately impeach Pam Bondi.
The next AG most vow to not be a political arm of the POTUS. Senate has the ability to determine that confirmation.
This gives the Senate GOP some wiggle room. They can push back, without having to (yet) impeach a POTUS.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
