My favorite bit of family specific lore is that my oma broke some old Dutch Catholic baby naming traditions by naming my dad after her father instead of my opa's father, and instead of getting mad at my oma, my opa's father decided to be mad at a literal newborn

I don't exaggerate when I say that Andrew Wakefield should be tried for mass murder. We'll never know how many people have died or will die as a direct result of his fraudulent study.
This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.
Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

Alt-text is often hailed as an accessibility aid and it is that but also I want to point out other benefits:
- mute filters work! your followers who have a term muted won't have to see an image you've properly alt-texted.
- alt text shows up in search so you can SEARCH YOUR IMAGE POSTS (HUGE)

Using alt text is a way to be kind that you can start doing right now.
It’s right there in your accessibility settings. Turn on require alt text before posting to help yourself remember (worth checking because this app sometimes flips it off for no reason).

I spent the evening outside the Whipple federal building in Minneapolis, where the feds have been releasing people they detained — often for no discernible reason — into the freezing cold... wearing whatever little clothing they had on at the time they were taken.

If your congressperson hasn’t backed this, call them and tell them to.
It is one tiny step, and of course, it will not change everything. But people need to face consequences for their actions.

146 House Democrats back the articles of impeachment I introduced against Secretary Noem.
Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. Under her leadership, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good were murdered.
Impeach Noem. Get ICE out of our cities.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Please call Voces de la Frontera's ICE verifier phone number at 1-800-427-0213 if you need to confirm a rumor about ICE activity OR you witness potential ICE activity in the Milwaukee area.
We need to be prepared in MKE -- that requires minimizing misinformation and panic.

Important not to lose sight of what’s starting up in Maine right now.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...
ICE watchers in Maine say they were threatened by federal agents
Community members have been monitoring the activity of immigration agents in Greater Portland.

The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."
It also sounds like at least some of them thought the cameras wouldn't matter because they were assuming that a couple of public executions would cause all of the resistance to run and hide.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Heads up: be careful what you tell ride share drivers. Some ICE agents are becoming uber drivers to catch people that way. They’ll ask folks about what they think of ICE and lead convos into talks about someone’s immigration status. Stay safe. #fuckice

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.
