@gloriasteinem.bsky.social is well into her 10th decade—and still leading us forward 🎉

You can celebrate by supporting Gloria's Foundation, which Steinem has established to (among other things) help turn NYC into a lasting "sanctuary for the feminist movement."

⛔️ Staff at the National Science Foundation have been instructed to flag any grant that include words that may violate executive orders. Flagged projects may be at risk of losing their funding, per @washingtonpost.com

A guy who peddles anti-vaccine conspiracies, allegedly assaulted his family’s nanny, and was described by his own cousin as preying on the parents of sick children could be in charge of the federal agency that controls access to life-saving treatment and the future of medical research. 🫠
A photo of RFK Jr. at a lectern. Text reads "should this man be in charge of our public health? That's a hard no. Here's why, and what to do about it." Black text on a green background reading, "Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 'credentials.' Advocates against vaccines, including for COVID and measles. Does not believe HIV is the sole cause of AIDS (which it is). Has said 'I do not believe infectious disease is an enormous threat to human health.' His own family says he is a 'predator' who is 'addicted to attention and power.' Allegedly groped his family's nanny..."
