The right completely fails to understand that national productivity (and security) succeeds and thrives when the mass of citizens are NOT terrified every second (of getting sick; of trying to deal with banks and insurance; of starving).
More productivity = more for all (even the billionaires!)

When the Nazi government turned their brownshirts loose on Jewish communities part of their pay was the right to loot.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

THIS on the right-wing "natural immunity" talking point: psst, it's a racist dog-whistle:
"Natural immunity" has just become a dog whistle way to talk about eugenics. The idea is that the survivors will be the people with immunity, after you get the "weak" people out of the gene people by causing so many of them to die.
And guess who they often tend to think has "good genes" ...

I've always thought that the whole "natural immunity is the best way to protect people" thing was a bit like saying "getting pregnant is the best form of birth control."
Anyway, cool to see it's better for the immune system to see vaccine before virus from an effectiveness standpoint too.

Anti-science people lying again:
A claim circulating after the ACIP vote: hep B vaccines were approved on "less than a week" of safety data.
This is false.
It conflates the diary-card window for expected minor reactions with actual safety monitoring. That window is short because acute inflammation resolves in days. 1/2

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

More on Donald's plans to degrade and weaken the USA:
The US is funding fewer grants compared to the past. The money is given in one lump sum instead a yearly infusion from a multi-year funded grant. This leads to more competition, less $ and time to do research. Not a win-win situation.

In just a few generations, it's gone from "women need you & you'll get one as a mate/domestic servant regardless of how you act" to "women can survive on their own & will only mate with you if you bring something to the table" and WOW men are not adjusting well.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Good short thread demolishes the right-wing argument that the 14th Amendment is "only about slaves"--not about immigrants, according to the MAGA 'scholars.'
They are wrong.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.
