TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

Like JK Rowling, Linehan is writer who created an episodic effort with real cultural impact that was beloved by its fans but he decided to blow up all his accumulated good will by becoming a rabid transphobe.

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.

Hey Home Depot,
Maybe letting armed masked men raid your stores and terrify your customers isn’t the best business strategy.
Here’s a do-it-yourself solution: Stop trying to profit from violence and brutality. Protect your business. Get ICE OUT.

ICE is busy dreaming up new ways to be cruel to families traveling to be together for Thanksgiving, I see.
🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT🚨
At LaGuardia Airport, there are several rumored and one confirmed ICE arrest of domestic travelers.
If you are at risk of detention or not sure, exercise caution while traveling. Make a safety plan in case of detention and consult an immigration attorney.
