This dangerous and deadly lying from a public figure should be illegal! Instead, all we can do right now is elect people who can investigate and publicize the many lies and deceptions of those in power. #whywevote

For the past year, Defend Public Health member Dr. Benedicte Callan @benecal.bsky.social has led our Whopper of the Week effort that highlights a falsehood by RFK Jr. and why it matters.

We will never run out of material.

Here she writes about the lessons learned from her Herculean efforts.

If you're waiting for democracy to save itself, you're going to be disappointed. It doesn't work that way. It requires us - showing up, voting, paying attention, refusing to let indifference win.

123 years.

That's how long the World Economic Forum says it will take to close the global gender gap at our current pace. Let that number sit with you for a second.

One of the biggest issues for women is reproductive justice. Obviously that's a core part of our beliefs, our freedom, because if we don't control our bodies, we lose control over everything else.

ICE should never be hunting children.
Full stop.
Kids are being detained, families are being ripped apart, and parents are scared to send their children to school or seek medical care.

Arkansas voters living abroad, here’s the tea.

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried to delay this special elections. That move broke Arkansas law, kept seats empty past the 150-day limit, and blocked representation during the next session.
