Can we all take a moment to appreciate what everyone at @meidastouch.com does every day to keep people informed when other media won’t. Their work is relentless and we owe them a round of applause that never ends.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

When will our state's National Guard do the same?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Really interesting policy solution from Colorado. Sounds like a great way to protect vaccine access!
Colorado just passed a law to safeguard vaccine policy from RFK Jr.’s CDC overhaul.
Now the state must weigh vaccine advice from top medical orgs — AAP, AAFP, ACOG, ACP — not just the CDC.
More states need to follow.
But where's IDSA in all this?
