‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Hurting and terrorizing these children is their goal.

This is what happens when the country is run by child rapists.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents.

Can’t find the sign to tap, but it bears repeating that, minus the one you’re on, every big social media site in the US is run by a defense contractor or intelligence partner.

At the risk of being repetitive, this is insane.
Scoop: The NIH infectious-diseases institute (NIAID) will soon scrub “pandemic preparedness” and “biodefense” from its web pages, according to e-mails I obtained.

The directive is the start of a broader shake-up at NIAID, which has long been attacked by Republicans.
Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation
Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

Authoritarians cannot understand regular people because they themselves are cowards

Fear motivates them, so they assume it motivates everyone. They can't imagine risking their lives for a stranger, for free

It's why they've beat a public retreat in Minneapolis, and it's how we'll ultimately win

How did this one random sub-agency of DHS become America’s secret police force, with a larger budget than many entire states?

We’re so stuck on this absurd theoretical debate over “do we need immigration enforcement” that we missed Trump building himself a vast paramilitary army

“In the video and audio reviewed by The Post, at no point does Lemon appear to obstruct the pastor’s movement.”

The indictment claims Lemon “physically obstructed” congregants as they tried to leave. The video in fact “shows Lemon holding the door for people who are leaving.”

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 most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
