The ECOA passed in 1974.
My mom divorced my dad in 1975.
These things are not unrelated. She was finally able to establish her own credit, buy a house, start her own business… all thanks to the ECOA.
1975 was the best year of my childhood too, when my abusive dad finally went away.

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Take away SSRIs & you’ll see mass shootings and self-unaliving skyrocket!
The conspiracy theorist RFK Jr is not just coming after vaccines & mifeprostone (used for medication abortion) & fluoridation of water (ending fluoridation will increase dental caries & cost about cost $10 billion dollars over 5 years)—he is ALSO an anti-psychiatry activist & is coming after SSRIs 😢
It's Defend Public Health's Whopper Wednesday.
RFK is coming after SSRIs
There's no evidence that SSRIs cause violence, but that hasn't stopped RFK from asking the NIH and FDA to look into whether they could be involved in mass shootings.

Today’s clothing sucks. Terrible fabrics & oversized fit are the norm. I’m a small lady. I don’t need to be swimming in synthetic fabrics with high waists, wide legs, and huge oversized tops. The other choices are bodycon, form fitting leggings & tight dresses. Ugh. Help?

TX28 is a Democratic district Cuellar has held for 20 years. That’s his base. First he has to get re-elected. Then, it will be quid pro quo on the down low.
