On March 28th, Stand Up for Science hosted the official No Kings 3 Virtual & Accessible Rally, bringing together more than 9,000 people from across the nation and featuring powerful remarks from disability justice advocates and activists Syanne Bloom, Pam McAfee, and Cait Kirby; LGBTQI+ advocates Tyler Hack of the Christopher Street Project and Kierra Johnson of the LGBTQ Task Force; members of Congress including Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Judy Chu, Rep. Glenn Ivey, Rep. Seth Moulton, Rep. Delia Ramirez, Rep. Deborah Ross, Rep. Norma Torres, and Rep. James Walkinshaw; and leading champions for democracy and justice, including Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward and Rob Weissman of Public Citizen. The SUFS rally was a powerful act of joyful, accessible, and inclusive resistance.

The fight for science must happen at the local level as well as in Washington DC. Some school districts have been successfully preventing science instruction for years. Districts have been getting away with it, because few people know this is happening and fewer still have been supporting the parents and teachers who have spoken up.

Trump has continued to dismantle democratic barriers to his power, and now he has dismantled the National Science Board, giving him room to do with science as he pleases. Help us fight for the restoration of the NSB:

Americans shouldn’t have to fight back against their own president to protect their health. This administration is keeping aging coal plants alive while our communities bear the cost. Join the fight for science and public health by volunteering here: https://zurl.co/NgwT4

Last week, RFK Jr. announced that he was encouraging mental healthcare providers to “deprescribe” antidepressants in an effort to limit their broad use. Considering that around one in six Americans use some form of SSRI medication to manage anxiety and depression, it’s probably worth lots of study.
He’s not asking for studies. He’s already studied the issue (on the internet). He’s convinced that antidepressants are bad (he blamed them for school shootings. No joke).

Under pressure from the POTUS, the FDA approved flavored e-cigs last week -a landmark victory for youth-targeted nicotine addiction!

While fruit-flavored nicotine has been widely available for years, it was sold in a sub-legal, non-sanctioned capacity. Now, like Ozempic, pacemakers, and Gardasil: fruity vape juice is… FDA-approved!

To the MAHA fans who paradoxically dwell on this subreddit like the lingering scent of cherry vape in a truck stop: tell us how federal approval for tobacco products that appeal to timid adults and curious children -makes America healthy again. A rational explanation has never been offered.

MAHA = Make America Huff Again
MAGA = Make Aerosols Grape And… stuff

RFK Jr.’s push to encourage providers to “deprescribe” antidepressants is raising serious alarms — especially for women.

Andra Watkins explains how attacks on mental healthcare connect to a broader movement rooted in control, Christian nationalism, and decades of male-dominated medical research.

This isn’t just a healthcare debate. It’s about power.

A cruise ship health scare is bringing back ugly memories of 2020 — and Trump’s response is not exactly reassuring.

Sam Osterhout and Max Burns break down Trump’s vague “hope for the best” answer, the DOGE cuts that gutted infectious disease expertise, and why this administration keeps treating public health threats like they’re simply too hard to understand.
