“Pediatricians recommend children receive certain vaccines at specific ages based on when children’s immune systems will respond best and when they are most vulnerable to certain diseases.”

“Vaccine recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics are tailored to the health of children living in the United States and are based on decades of research and systematic tracking of real-world experiences,” Dr. Racine said.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

The Editorial Board @editorialboard.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

The most important paragraph by @juliaazari.bsky.social that you will read on the difference in reaction to Trump’s age and Biden’s age. Biden had to earn legitimacy. Therefore his age was an obstacle. Trump was given legitimacy. Age doesn’t matter.

Republicans represent groups who are assumed to hold legitimate power; Democrats represent groups who are not. Challenging these elements of the status quo runs the risk of violating journalistic norms about neutrality, while affirming the status quo does not. (Someone made this point in an excellent way somewhere online and I now can’t remember who said it or where I saw it.) So part of what drove the discussion of Biden’s age was that the former president was showing up, flawed, to advocate for policies on behalf of the poor, people of color, LGBTQ Americans. Trump, on the other hand, uses unconventional methods to advocate on behalf of the existing structure of power. For Biden, there was a higher burden to explain and justify. For Trump, some outbursts and rambling can still fit the script. And the messenger is hard to separate from the message.

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Take Back the Court REP. JOHN LEWIS: In 1965, Jurist Roberts was only 10-years-old. He may be a brilliant lawyer, but I wonder whether he can really understand the depth of what it took to get the Voting Rights Act passed. The right to vote is precious, almost
sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democratic society. As many of you know, I gave a little blood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, but some
of my friends and colleagues gave all they had, their very lives for the right to vote. I feel that if Judge Roberts is confirmed to be the Chief Justice of the United States, the Supreme Court would no longer hear the people's cries for justice. I feel that the leadership of the Court will promote politics over the protection of individual rights and liberties. If the Federal Courts had abandoned us in the civil rights movement in the name of judicial restraint, we might still be struggling with the
burden of legal segregation in America today. Jurist Roberts's memos reveal him to be hostile towards civil rights, affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. He has even said that Voting Rights Act
violations, and I quote, "should not be made too easy to prove.'

Federal agents “took off his pants and shirt, handcuffed him, and drove him 65 kilometers to the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he was fingerprinted, photographed, and jailed.” Sounds… fascist.

Ha! Yes is novel indeed! Schism is ironically integral to Catholicism (yes w/ capital C). Roman is not the only Catholic & not the final arbiter of the term. The Bishop of Rome, for some Catholics, is first-among-equals, rather than supreme pontiff. More to it than that of course, as you know.
