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.

I don’t think John Oliver should be put in charge of CBS News. His experience is in commentary and running one relatively small outlet.

Though at least his exposés hold up to factual scrutiny.

The main problem here is that they're VERY bad at their jobs and may be physically incapable of governance at this point. Literally their only play is 'wait for the Dems to cave' and that's a problem if the Dems decide they gain more by refusing to cave.

What I don't get is if hardcore tankies really think raiding detention facilities is the best path forward, if you're not just engaged in performative bullshit, then why do I, the shitlib, have to do it?

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

The average protester has been doing expert-level escalation management and the average ICE officer is threatening to murder ambulance drivers.

Some good news! After all that, only O.03% of families opted out of LGBTQ+ Education in Maryland after the Supreme Court gave them the ability to do so. Not just a majority, not just most families, nearly all families want their kids to have access to this education. We are the majority

Whole lot of folks desperate to be broken by the fascists. Wouldn't be shocked to learn that a not-small number of them are part of a deliberate influence campaign, but plenty remain downright eager to be victims of the regime.

Donald Trump is not a king, and dog killer Kristi Noem can't just force our airports to break the law on her behalf.

Our Brazilian American sitter told me two fun things today:
1. Her neice called to warn her about speaking in Portuguese to her own 10yo (she says eh, screw it. They already know I’m an immigrant from my accent)
2. An immigrant client of a barber friend ended up joining ICE and deporting the barber.
