If we are going back, can we at least go back to when we vaccinated our kids, drank pasteurized milk, and inspected our food?

I am old enough to remember the chants of "Run Jesse, Run!" and later "Win Jesse,Win!" at the '84 Democratic Convention. I was young enough then to not grasp how important his candidacy was to the country.
Rest Jesse, Rest In Peace.

Rephrasing for the MAHA crowd:
People are saying that getting the new COVID-19 vaccine is good for you, whether you were previously vaccinated or not.
Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

The Trump Administration is continuing to politicize government advisory committees, this time on Alzheimer’s Disease. More than 7 million Americans from all walks of life are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. We need advisory committees that are representative of all Americans.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the February 14, 2025, illegal terminations of probationary employees across the federal government. A year ago, dedicated civil service employees were purged from their "dream jobs" - but they refused to be silenced.

Definitely a huge win for higher ed. I think it's important to point out that the suit that led to this outcome was brought by *UC faculty and unions* and not the UC system. The academic workers are fighting back, and we should support them.
This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

The public has been misinformed about the severity of crossing the border without documentation. They are at the same time protecting child molesters who may also been involved in human trafficking. You have the wrong priorities and no morals if you support this administration.

This is one of Trump’s performance evaluation goals for federal workers: “Find and annihilate Government censorship of speech.”

So… just wondering… does that maybe mean I get to go back to work?

Sportswashing and a peace prize trinket cannot cleanse the callousness and apathy that FIFA President Gianni Infantino has towards Ukraine.
