I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

There are a lot of details in yesterday's sweeping executive order, but the bottom line is that it gives political appointees immense power over scientific grants, which have until now been stewarded by career civil servants and experts. My reporting: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Trump order gives political appointees vast powers over research grants
Researchers are alarmed that the move might upend a long-standing tradition of peer-review for grants.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

Riot is working with MasterCard directly to help with their censorship campaign. A weird choice from MasterCard if you ask me, but very telling that they're willing to leverage any company they can to suppress discussion of this. Also cool to see where Riot stands. They do not have to do this.

This amendment vote will happen overnight. Your script for your senators:
"“I am furious that Republicans are adding even more Medicaid cuts to this budget. You are already going to cost 16 million people their health insurance, and you want to hurt even more of us to pay for billionaire tax cuts? Along with voting no on final passage, you need to vote no on Senator Johnson’s amendment rolling back federal cost-sharing for new Medicaid enrollees under the ACA. Enough!”
