If they are willing to assault and arrest a sitting United States Senator on camera, don't think for one second they are not willing to use lethal force on the rest of us "regular" folks.

🙋♂️ I was in *the safety trial* for (the original) Gardasil HPV vaccine for males. And I can assure you that I was like this before I got the shots. I can also confirm firsthand that vaccines are tested for safety more times and in more ways than most people will ever be able to comprehend.

PSA that no matter what ridiculous, unscientific “research” comes out in the next year or two about vaccines, a plethora of rigorous, reproducible studies have demonstrated safety and efficacy of vaccines with ZERO link to autism. Autism is largely (if not entirely) genetic. Tell your friends.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

I see a lot of conversations about the increase in pollution from cutting back the EPA and the impacts on humans. I'm also really worried about our ecosystems. The number of insects and birds now seems so much lower compared to when I was a child. More pollution could be devastating in some areas.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
