Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s time to keep natural time. Stop messing with clocks. We live significantly north of the equator. Winters have long nights and summers have long days. Naturally. #StandardTime #DitchDST

Pretty sure he said you don’t need us. We do lead the pack but UK and France are boycotting too. theconversation.com/canada-is-le...

A new study finds Canadians were far more likely to report boycotting American products, services and travel than those in the U.K. and France.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Affordable childcare is a right and companies should not be making a profit off parents and their young children. Taxpayer money should not be used to help for-profit services of any kind.

Why are members of Parliament who are supposed to represent their constituents afraid to state who they are when being interviewed. Do they not want their constituents to know what they think about environmental issues and climate change? #Cndpoli #environment #LiberalParty
