Don’t be fooled, HRT does increase certain instances of cancer as well as other health problems. Use of any artificial hormones does this. It’s deceitful not disclose this so woman can make informed choices about their bodies. #StandUpForScience

Evidence of election tampering in 2024?
There's a story going round that an investigation into voting in one Pennsylvania county shows everyone qualified to vote did, and 100% of them voted for King Donald the Mad.
There aren't enough zeros to write the odds against that.
So it's probably false.

If this is the case it’s like the flu vaccine will be less effective. But with that said, getting it will give you slight cross protection which will lessen the severity of any type of flu infection you get.
We need to stop thinking of vaccines as back and white and instead as a rainbow.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."
