people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?

Pretending the wellfare state can be paid for by the 1% is like pretending the US incarceration epidemic is about nonviolent drug offenders. It's a great way to get people very angry about a cause that they don't actually support fixing.

This milk my husband bought today (which btw is delicious; I'm a huge milk drinker and I love this stuff) has an expiration date MORE THAN TWO MONTHS in the future. The most civilization anywhere.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN (2025)
I'm reminded of an article some years back that said radical right wing religious movements are becoming so blatantly heretical and blasphemous they'd have been hanged for it in the olden days. Their Jesus is an alpha chad who swore bloody vengeance on the cross rather than ask God to forgive them.
"Jesus would kill people if they were doing harm"

No. No he wouldn't. He didn't. It's a whole thing!

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

anyway my answer to every single person who wants armed conflict is no you don’t

sometimes it is the only option but it it sure worth exploring everything else before you get there because it is always, always bad

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

My 13yo is now doing a fake British accent over Discord with his buddy he plays Warthunder with. They are so goofy and sweet, it's impossible to believe there are boys their age getting lost down a redpill rabbit hole (but there definitely are!!)

part of it is that they hate women, part of it is that they hate her specifically because they think she should want to fuck them, part of it is that all this shit is for the benefit of like 10K people on twitter who've all been legally prohibited from having unsupervised time with their children
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

The states should also defy it, not only on principle but because it's literally impossible, our vital records system simply does not even contain the information needed to know if anybody is or isn't in the categories Trump made up in his decree.
I feel like if the Court tries to nullify birthright citizenship then House Democrats should commit to impeaching all the Republican justices as soon as they get a majority. Even if the Senate won’t convict, make them make a spectacle out of it.

Great thread on why hepatitis B is such an issue and why the vaccine at birth was SO important.
Why do babies need the hepatitis B vaccine if they aren’t high-risk?

Short answer: Because hepatitis B is a tricky virus.

Incandescent rage.

Absolute fucking rubes on here constantly believed every last ounce of bullshit this man peddled in order to throw out the most progressive president in modern history.
Biden never slept through meetings but Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about how he was too old.

Leo said the two things that are bad about having me as a mom are:
1) "you hate the cold and think 55° is jacket weather"
2) "you hate violent imagination play"
Those are both true; I'll take my lumps.

also the MRIs, no excuse or explanation, like goddamn there's a cover up happening very poorly in front of our eyes and no one can be asked to push about it

also something something Biden
It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

This is 100% correct. The people at risk from this are not you and me and our children, but the babies born to MAHA mothers who may have Hep B who now won't allow themselves to be tested and won't allow their babies to be vaccinated.

Those babies deserve to live, too, but they won't.
I do want to note three things that have happened in the wake of what ACIP is becoming to hopefully put some panicked nerves at ease.

1.) The American Association of Pediatrics is publishing their own schedule that matches the one before this goat rodeo.
