Idgaf what your religion is. That said, these people CLAIM to be about Christianity and yet are ignorant/disdainful of their own tradition: “You shall not oppress a stranger nor torment him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” Their assertion of religion is invalid on its face.
Calling people “invaders” on a holiday centered on sharing food with strangers is exactly the kind of upside-down morality MAGA is famous for.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Since it's a big weekend for consumerism, I just want to put out there that buying an indie author's book in any format is "shopping small" no matter where you choose to buy it from.

It is absolutely impossible to gerrymander this heavily, and NOT use race as a factor.
Gerrymandering needs to be outlawed.
