Sadly, CDC’s vaccine recommendations are guided by conspiracy theories, not science. Today’s vote puts lives at risk, especially children’s.

For families with a baby on the way: please speak with your pediatrician about how best to protect your child from Hepatitis B and preventable illnesses.

Maybe Amelia Earhart has been living on Epstein’s island this whole time.
Trump says he’s ordering the release of all government records on Amelia Earhart.

Fascinating take on the evolution of autism and its relationship with AI. @jbedell.bsky.social 👏
Autism as Evolutionary Adaptation in the Age of AI
For most of history, autism was seen only through the lens of pathology—a disorder to be managed, minimized, or “treated.” But what if that framing is too small?

E-book contracts are totally out of control. Regulations are the only way to ensure libraries have a diverse and accessible collection. Until legislation reflects reality, libraries will be priced out of a robust e-media collection.
E-Book Contracts Are a Big Cost for Public Libraries. One Harvard Librarian Is Fighting to Change That. | News | The Harvard Crimson
For the past five years, Kyle K. Courtney, who directs copyright and information policy for Harvard’s libraries, has fought to make e-books more accessible to public libraries across the United States...

Many Republicans are just finding out, thanks to Hakeem Jeffries, that the Declaration of Independence reads like an indictment & are outraged by it.

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy.
 
At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Everyone is talking about Trump declaring himself Kings. Meanwhile I haven’t forgotten Kash Patel, who just became the director of our FBI today, wrote a children’s picture book entitled, The Plot Against King with Trump as the main character. A book for children.

All vaccines cause side effects in a small population of people. Anti-vaxxers continue to use this as a reasonable argument against vaccines.
In reality, people who experience side effects should be the biggest advocate for others being vaccinated so we can provide them herd immunity. #vaccinations
In a small number of people, Covid-19 vaccines caused side effects referred to as “post-vaccination syndrome,” according to a new small study. The research found that patients with this syndrome were more likely to experience reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus.
Scientists Describe Rare Syndrome Following Covid Vaccinations
In a small study, patients with the syndrome were more likely to experience reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus and high levels of a coronavirus protein.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

You might know White House press sec. Karoline Leavitt from this Project 2025 vid where she takes credit for suggesting that Trump send letters to families of gun violence victims.

"If I had not had the confidence...those families would've never received that joyous letter from the President."

Texas is one of the country's testing grounds for anti-library legislation and many states have attempted to duplicate their legislation.

We're tracking 14 anti-library bills in the state.
