As always, YLE is a great resource for staying up to date.
1/ Last night, RFK Jr. announced the cancellation of $500 million in mRNA vaccine research. This means 22 projects, many in active clinical trials, are just... stopped. RFK Jr. stated the #mRNA "poses more risks than benefits," but that claim is simply not backed by science. 🧵

If you want an interactive tool to see how many research projects have been shut down, visit scienceimpacts.org
I cannot even begin to describe how devastating this is for science, healthcare and our future.

You cannot assume you are above falling for US propaganda. Read every news article, headline and story through that lens. They aren’t ICE agents, they are an uncontrolled guerrilla army. They are detaining people, they are kidnapping them and trafficking them across state lines. #resist #america

(2/2) quote continued “…I used the word holocaust deliberately & said the symbol of his war was becoming a picture of a 7 month old baby with its arms blown off.” Their tactics on destroying Palestinian lives has only worsened. (Source: The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi)

(1/2) Well, Raegan may have had a moment of conscious regarding the Palestinians, however short lived it may have been. His diary entry for August 12, 1982 stated “I was angry - I told him [Begin] it had to stop or our entire future relationship was endangered….”

Today’s FDA panel on SSRIs in pregnancy lacked balance and failed to reflect the evidence. Untreated depression and anxiety can lead to serious health risks for pregnant patients—SSRIs can be lifesaving. Patients deserve access to evidence-based, compassionate care. Learn more: buff.ly/NcCZno8

There’s something wholesome about listening to @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social read the president’s social media posts out loud.

I need an AI plug-in that will auto blur any video on any feed that pops up on my phone that has anything to do with heights: skydiving, jumping, high dives, cliff jumping, sitting on sky scrapers….my stomach falls every time without warning and it’s stressful. #fearofheights #nojokes

The national committee that helped make recommendations of which genetic disorders we screen for at birth has been eliminated. If you delivered or plan to deliver in a hospital this affects you.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Why are we letting this continue? He must be impeached. So. Many. Blatant. Law. Violations.

I finished the Throne of Glass series! What a ride. I can’t say that another book series has made me cry so much. I can see why people can’t get this one out of their minds. I’m even listening to songs differently now… #tog #throneofglass #fireheart #booksky 📚💙
