It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Well Before is offering 15% off today if you buy two different products. (7% if just one.)
Good time to stock up on masks and hand sanitizer at the same time! (Or whatever your covid-safer heart desires)

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.
An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

A new report finds that kids who got last year’s COVID-19 vaccine had a much lower risk of COVID-related hospital visits than kids who didn’t. All kids age 6 months & older should be vaccinated to help protect them from serious illness from COVID-19. See the data: www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...
