"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

The fact that the President of the United States is saying this is not ok. It will never be ok.

This is not normal - and everyone in DC who is still harboring delusions that they can keep doing politics (and legislating) either in denial or pretending this is all normal - are enabling this.
Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

"The Tea app is yet another example of surveillance tech enabling us to turn one another into content fodder for the tech industry."

Read Politics editor @leximcmenamin.com's latest op-ed ⤵️
The Tea App Markets Itself As A Safe Whisper Network. It's Just More Digital Surveillance
The biggest red flag is that the Tea app seems to be an attempt to quick-fix on an individual level what is a structural problem — that is, misogyny — via surveillance culture.

Supplements are ubiquitous, and the marketing around them can be authoritative, chummy, and even confessional — personal promises that you can take control of your health. But there’s a catch: Manufacturers don’t have to prove that their pill, tincture, powder or tea is safe or effective. Read more:

I can’t for the life of me understand why Democrats haven’t made this ghoulish surveillance baron into a public enemy comparable to the role that Soros plays on the right. He’s legitimately a bogeyman.

Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January
