No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

I'll side with the scientists over the man who can't even pronounce acetaminophen

Kenvue, the manufacturer of Tylenol, said that “sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism.”

The company pointed to scientific reviews by multiple government regulators worldwide, including those previously published by the FDA. https://to.pbs.org/4nQ6rUR

If you know anyone in Iowa's state senate district 1 (Sioux City area) be sure to encourage them to vote for Catelin Drey on August 26th. Her republican opponent is Christopher Prosch, and he is an extremist. The incumbent passed away last month.

Extreme policies do nothing to improve our state, but do lead to our young professionals fleeing the state for better opportunities. This kind of brain drain is not sustainable for Iowa.

ummmmm...fake sources, mischaracterization of findings, made up research studies doesn't sound like "Gold Standard Science" to us.

But what do we know? We are just a lowly, grassroots community of the world's leading scientists. 🐸☕

Seen in Canada: man wearing hat that says "Canada is not for sale". Didn't take a pic of him (respect), but here's one of the Old Town Clock in Halifax

Most republican politicians aren't holding town halls, but Grassley has always visited every one of Iowa's 99 counties every year. He boasts about it, so he almost has to keep it up. Here's how that's going...

Republican lawmakers have been ruining Iowa, yes. But there are Republican citizens who have been brainwashed into thinking that all democrats are evil. If people like Rob Sand continue to reach out and meet with them, we can start building bridges. That's how you change their votes to BLUE.

Please keep doing this. Both 'sides' need to be reminded that the 'other side' isn't an evil enemy. There are good people everywhere, and when we can listen calmly to one another, we can actually get some work done!

I'll be on the Pentacrest in Iowa City tomorrow. Because when these dark times become only a small part of our history, I want to be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I didn't sit at home silent. I wasn't complacent. I fought back. I protested. I resisted. Find one near you. handsoff2025.com

Quote from article: Agency employees have been warned not to approve grants that include words such as “women,” “trans” or “diversity.”
It will take decades to undo what this administration does over the next four years
