"Dispatches" (Michael Herr) is the only book anyone needs to read about the American experience of the Vietnam War.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

Is anyone else still reeling that he called his anti-social falsehood machine "truth social"?

It's reconstructing reality from the ground up.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

In Australian politics I see culture wars like racism being weaponised with misogyny. (Cultural femicide? Insert your own signifier.)

It's prevalent here; name a country where it isn't?

Australians are actively importing trendy versions of cultural femicide.

DV up; hate crime up; truth down.
