1/ What a labor of love this has been. Two years in the making—and it’s surreal to see it live in the world.

It’s been 5 years since COVID hit our communities. Most of us still haven’t fully processed what we lived through.

my superpower for predicting things? paying attention to what people with power say and do

ACIP—the external CDC advisory committee for U.S. vaccine policy comprised of pediatricians, scientists, and parents—was set to meet this week, but was delayed. Watch out for misleading narratives about the committee!

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

LSU students report barriers to EC and want better access on campus. The student senate last semester urged the SHC to act, yet no steps have been taken. LSU owes its students an explanation—and action.

Former editor in chief of Time magazine, Nancy Gibbs, says "not the odds, but the stakes" should evolve into "not the threats, but the facts."

Publicizing his threats gives him too much power, but ignoring them is no answer. Let fact finding be the guide. time.com/7199622/trum...

Two tidbits:

-The father suing says his daughters have never tried and have no intention of trying to get contraceptives from a title x clinic, but somehow the case still has standing

-his lawyer is the architect of SB 8–texas' abortion ban
The 5th Circuit grants a Texas father the right to deny his daughter access to birth control, holding that Title X does not override parents' "right to consent to their teenagers’ obtaining contraceptives" under state law. (via @mjsdc.bsky.social) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...
