Little kids in the US typically can’t get flu vaccines at pharmacies - they have to go to their pediatrician. Which add an extra layer of hassle & difficulty. This is much easier for many families.

I just found out you can get the FluMist flu vaccine delivered to your house now. It’s free with most insurance. Delivery cost me $9 for my family’s doses, but if your kids really can’t deal with needles this is a super-big deal.

Judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from ICE custody
The judge's order represents an immediate affront to senior Trump administration officials, who once vowed Abrego would “never walk America’s streets again.”

I've reported on trans legislation and anti-trans actions in states across the United States for five years, including in blue states.
I distinctly remember some people getting upset at me for reporting blue-state anti-trans actions, saying that it could never happen there.
Sadly, it can.

White people using black slang after it is no longer fresh or interesting is an old story, and doing so semi-ironically is not much younger. But boy it is still weird to me that online conservatives love to say things are “based.” And all these people saying someone is “cooking.”
