The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.

Donald Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists is a direct attack on Americans’ health and safety.
By turning the CDC into a political weapon, he’s putting ideology over science and risking lives in the process.

Important read about the rationale behind cutting off funding for GAVI, which is estimated to have saved nearly 19 million lives since 2000. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
RFK Jr. singled out one study to cut funds for global vaccines. Is that study valid?
When RFK Jr. announced he would cut funds from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, he cited "vaccine safety," referring to a 2017 study from Guinea-Bissau. We asked vaccine researchers to assess the study.

From a post I saw on LinkedIn: “When we uplift transgender people, we uplift all of society. Their contributions to art, science, medicine, and activism benefit everyone. Their courage in living authentically, in a world that often denies them safety, is something we should all learn from.”
Today is Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). Events are happening around the country to celebrate the presence and resilience of transgender and non-binary folks who are our coworkers, friends, and neighbors.
