Trash collection is a critical public service, though the real problem is how much trash we generate in the first place.

The last time an autocratic government made policy decisions based on pseudoscience, millions of people died. America is on the precipice of doing the same. 

Policy must be based on science.

The conservatives are trying to ban birth control. Yes, really. 

First abortion, then contraception, then women's rights in general.

Moms for Liberty puts kids in danger.  Abstinence only sex ed, book bans, and problematic curriculum are antithetical to a good education and good public health. 

Parental Rights Movement: A deeply ignorant and malicious movement rooted in the premise that parents have rights and the children have none.

Deleting data and research is book burning. No need to read 1984, we’re living through it. 

Data is a representation of reality. By controlling data, one can control our understanding of reality, and in the hands of an autocratic regime erasing data is a highly effective tool for erasing dissent. After all, no one can claim the regime is causing problems if no evidence of said problems exists.  We are witnessing the full scale dismantling of our science and institutions.
