This is a huge story but massively under the radar in the UK.

A US Christian legal org called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is working to roll back abortion rights here using the same playbook it used in the US: briefing politicians, watching, waiting.

Just a point to add to this.

In a Times article mentioning the same issue, it notes about dependents of migrants that:

“At present they do not have to speak any English at all.”

Which isn’t the case - at all.
The tougher language requirement will not apply to family members who come with migrant workers, known as dependants.
Separate changes will require them to learn a standard of English equivalent to GCSE.
At present they do not have to speak any English at all. The government has not said when the changes for dependants will be introduced.

"Kipnuk isn’t Kipnuk anymore. I pray they evacuate safely." – Kristy Fox, resident of Kipnuk wrote on Facebook after being evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard with her family.

Roughly 600 people are still sheltering there at the local school and 400 people still in Kwigillingok, as of Tuesday.

In the 1995 book The Demon Haunted World, Carl Sagan warned that the US was turning its back on science, and that the consequences would be dire.

Near the start of their new book, Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez argue that what the astronomer feared is now coming to pass.

Standing up for science can be wacky (and quacky), but effective! Our Quack-O-Grams put us in touch with legislators that are leading the charge to get rid of the Quack RFK Jr. Now is the final stretch! We're fighting until we #impeachrfk !
Thank you to Prof. Dave for a great conversation!

I – like Trump and RFK Jr. – do not have a medical degree.

So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do.

I get my information from doctors and public health experts – and urge you to do the same.

Investigation now!

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.
