I have to warn everyone that I started this intending to be an account to follow porn I like but there's so many more important things going on that I can't just ignore for aesthetic. Don't follow me if you're not prepared for a mixed bag.

There's this autistic guy on tiktok, and his special interest is Dracula.
He's done 100s of videos on, and as, Dracula.
That's his thing. That's his gimmick. Very wholesome. Very charming.
He has also become one of the most vocally anti-ice people on the internet.
If he can do it.

Cool how our fucked up for-profit healthcare system is something that indirectly subsidizes literally the entire world’s medical care
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Ten years ago today, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, kicking off one of the greatest crimes committed against democracy when Mitch McConnell invented a pretense to deny President Obama a nominee, and everyone in power and media just shrugged and acted like he could do that.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

My guess is that they wanted to limit access to the victims to minimize witness testimony. The Administration wants to control the narrative (ie, “domestic terrorists”) with nobody to push back.

No amount of help was going to save a guy shot 10 times at point blank range but that’s not the point. The point is they cruelly wanted him to not receive medical assistance so he’d die. They are all responsible for his death.

Also they've noted the attempts to use it for anti-trans propaganda.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

M4A has never been voted on. It has gone through 11 legislative sessions, every single one has died in committee, including several ones where Dems hold majority. It now has only 111 co sponsors (only 52% of Dems).
