Anyone who has participated in or attended a naturalization ceremony knows how meaningful and joyous these ceremonies tend to be. The cruelty of this is heartbreaking and enraging.

There is no subtlety to the racism of this administration
The Trump administration has removed MLK Day and Juneteenth as holidays that include free entrance to national parks, adding the president’s birthday instead
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

And beyond this — it is unethical on so many levels to run randomized placebo-controlled trials in infants. No child in a vaccine trial should be left unprotected and exposed to incurable disease when there is an effective therapeutic vaccine.
Here we have a display of unfalsifiable standards by the anti-vaccine lobby. They want to rule out chronic, late-onset effects from HBV vaccination, which basically means nothing bad can ever happen to vaccinees for decades or else it's the vaccine's fault.

When we commemorate #WorldAIDSDay today, in the face of the silence of our government, we think of those who have passed, those living with HIV, and the families and communities impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic — an epidemic worsened by devastating cuts to our healthcare and science.

Choosing silence on #WorldAIDSDay doesn’t make the HIV epidemic disappear. It erases the 1.1 million people living w HIV in the U.S., the thousands we’ve lost over 44 years, and the enormous efforts of communities, clinicians, researchers, and advocates who have carried this response on their backs.
