I'm in Japan so I think my gang of antifascists might have done the very first #NOKINGS demo and yes it is Saturday morning here. Please share! Please show up to your local #NoKings! 3000+ about to take place.

“Along with COVID-19 vaccines, DeVuono also fraudulently created records for several common childhood vaccines, including those that prevent chickenpox, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, and polio.” “She was also accused of giving opioid prescriptions to individuals who were not her patients.”

Measles is absolutely tearing through unvaccinated communities. There were more new cases of measles in the US in the past seven days (330) than we had in ALL of 2024 (285). A total 4,410 cases this year, which everyone agrees is an undercount. www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/us-m...

Definitely. I was still paying off student loans, and in hindsight I’m glad I had my house set up and felt pretty solid in my career Plus, people would be surprised at the range of parent ages at open house night. Nobody actually cares - we’re all just moms or dads doing our best to raise good kids

YES. And the decisions about becoming a parent, no matter how it happens. As a mama by adoption, I’m prob more tired than my same-aged peers, but also wiser and more patient than I was in young adulthood. 💕

We don’t want flying cars or folding iPhones or data centers. We want an end to mass shootings, healthcare, free and fair elections, and our planet and people to be cared for.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

The Great Oregon ShakeOut, which helps folks prepare for earthquakes, was at 10:15 this AM. These children likely participated just hours before they were murdered at school. I’m absolutely gutted. America, we must stop this. Use your grief and anger, and vote for leaders to pass common sense laws.

It is so heartbreaking that we are at this place. “The doctors at Golisano Children’s in Hershey reached out to a retired pediatric infectious disease physician who had previous experience with measles before it was eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. “The learning curve has been steep,” Gavigan said”

This👇 is such a good example of how on top of her game Helen was. While she was keeping us all updated on Ebola, MERS, flu, and so many of all the other infectious diseases out there, she immediately grasped the gravity of the first warning sign of what we now remember as SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19.

OMG I was sorting through some old bookmarks and clicked on the Smithsonian Zoo's Cheetah Cam link which I hadn't active in a long time. It turns out they have a cheetah who just had cubs on 10/5 and they are so cute. They're on the Den 1 stream right now.

infants are suffering because parents are swindled by grifters & con artists and the culture built around them, it's been worsening for YEARS we've made incredible strides against illness & death with food safety & other public health measures now we're just tearing down the future the past built.

Friday measles update; as expected cruised past 4,000 cases: now 4,080. The year I graduated medical school (2002) there were 44. Yes, 44. We’ve multiplied cases by 100 😳 Disinformation is effective 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

CDC measles data, 4080 cases in 2026 date, 2289 cases from all of 2025. 95% of this year’s cases unvaccinated.

“Before the Chicago Bears played the Los Angeles Rams in the 1985 playoffs, Ditka said, ‘Some teams are fair-haired. Some aren’t. Some teams are a Smith. Some are a Grabowski. … We’re a Grabowski.’” Guess that makes this fair-haired Smith also a Grabowski. Thanks for it all, Coach 💙🧡

"In the 1980s, when the Bears were riding high and Ditka’s hair was auburn from the sun, he came to resemble the team’s logo. Or maybe the team’s logo came to resemble him. It was Ditka who best embodied the spirit of being a Bear." @danpompei.bsky.social on Da Coach
