All of this. And even past this, "I would rather potentially have a child dead from a painful and preventable disease than potentially one with neurodivergence" is one HELL of a take.
I think my biggest problem with the "vaccines cause autism" bullshit is that, even assuming they did (they don't, actually), neurodiversity is...good?
"Oh no, instead of polio and measles, people are cool and have new and different ways of thinking about things" is, uh, a really weird flex

Unsurprisingly, as usual this number is pulled from his ass. Inflation per state is all over the place. If anything it's grouped geographically.
FL/NC/WV/GA/VA/MD/DE are ALL at 22.4% inflation from 2021 (the highest current bracket)
All of New England is at 17.9% (the lowest current bracket)

I wish the youngns could remember back far enough to when teen pregnancy was the crisis, with all the same worried headlines, all the same “concern”

Forty percent of babies in the U.S. are born to unmarried mothers. Increasingly, those moms are over 30, at a time when teen pregnancy has fallen off a cliff and births are declining for younger women.
How women over 30 are rewriting the single mom narrative in America

Welp. Guess Bezos is in the Epstein files!
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

Hope is resistance. Joy is rebellion. Community is our strength. Anger on other's behalf at injustice and inequality is our driving force.
Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
