The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

This is really childish and reckless.
People in the central valley have seen the maps of what would happen if the dams were to break, evac zones and plans have been drilled into the communities in case of such emergency. This would cause massive flooding and devastation...and to what end!?!?!

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA.
Locals panicked and they backed off.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Another January 6 insurrectionist Trump pardoned is heading back to prison—this time for killing a woman in a drunk driving crash. Emily Hernandez, pardoned last week, had already pleaded guilty when she caused the fatal wreck. She was sentenced to 10 years today.

This #WomenInSTEM Wednesday, we honor Dr. Virginia Apgar, the pioneering anesthesiologist who developed the Apgar Score, a quick assessment that has saved millions of newborn lives since 1952. Did you know? Apgar was also a champion of public health & fought to reduce infant mortality worldwide.
