I’m in Upstate SC working directly on the measles outbreak. What’s helping reduce cases lately isn’t writing parents off. It’s clear, credible communication that addresses confusion and misinformation. Many families just need trustworthy information from leaders they trust.
Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
Eligible voters of Virginia!

The Gen X urge to EVERYBODY DANCE NOW (brrmp brrmp brrmp-brrmp brrmp)
AT THE SAME TIME, respect for Black women should not be conditioned on credentials, institutional affiliations, or other markers of 'prestige.'

Not replaying any of the women's hockey gold medal game is bullshit NBC!
In a time where so many of us need to see this modeled more than ever, Alysa's mindset of joy over all else and refusing to use shame to motivate herself has been so inspiring to watch.

My condolences on your loss
There’s been a lot of understandable angst about the loss of technical expertise at our science agencies; I wish there was greater appreciation for the magnitude of loss in the budget and administrative divisions.

Props to @san.com for being the first news org I've seen to cite our stories debunking the claim that staffers at the Medgar and Myrlie Evers National Monument removed brochures describing Medgar Evers' assassin as racist.
