The subtlety of whitework always intrigues me. The level of artisanship, the tiny stitches, only for it to blend into the background makes it more special, a secret to be enjoyed by the observant or overlooked by those in search of more obvious splendour. Gown c1800 #VandA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

SSRIs are life-changing for millions of people. Fighting the stigma around mental illness and medication is hard enough without RFK Jr. using his platform to sow doubt, hesitancy, and shame. The cost of ripping away antidepressants is steep. If we want to save lives, we have to #RemoveRFKjr.

Statement from Stand Up For Science: Politicizing the Childhood Vaccine Schedule Will Cost Lives. "Under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, this change will lead to preventable illness, death, and devastation for American families. Congress must act now to impeach and remove Secretary Kennedy."

Stand Up For Science: Politicizing the Childhood Vaccine Schedule Will Cost Lives

Washington, D.C. — Stand Up For Science strongly condemns Health and Human Services (HHS) Deputy Secretary O’Neill’s reported decision to overhaul the U.S. childhood immunization schedule, yet another dangerous escalation in HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s agenda to politicize children’s health and undermine American public health.

First, the “peer” countries cited as models differ in fundamental ways. Many are significantly smaller in population and geography and have universal health care systems with strong primary-care access and follow-up. When it comes to public health, these are critical distinctions. We must meet our health where it is, not where we want it to be.

Second, when a vaccine is already known to be safe and effective, it is unethical to withhold it from children for the sake of “placebo-controlled randomized trials.” For diseases like RSV, hepatitis A and B, dengue, and meningococcal disease (ACWY and B), the ethical standard is to compare schedules against existing protocols, not to deny proven protection. Calling placebo trials the “gold standard” in this context is unscientific and a violation of globally accepted research ethics.

We will not mince words. Under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, this change will lead to preventable illness, death, and devastation for American families. Congress must act now to impeach and remove Secretary Kennedy.

They are hate symbols, no matter what the Coast Guard puts in its revised regulations.

A tweet from “The Washington Post @washingtonpost” reads:
“Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as ‘potentially divisive.’”

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.
