In addition to all of this, measles infections debilitate the immune system for a long time, causing "immune amnesia". This is ironic because people woefully misled by the anti-science crowd are led to believe that viral infection "strengthens" the immune system. www.sanger.ac.uk/news_item/me...

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning.

I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism.

I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.
The People’s March is moving through the streets of Washington: “We won’t go back!”

A broad coalition of activists — among them climate, women’s rights, immigration, anti-war, LGBT, D.C. statehood, racial justice — are mobilizing in unison against Trump, three days before his inauguration. 🧵

Actually seeing TikTok go down is so dark and ominous. This country is truly about to collapse. Just as the oligarchs have seized more power than they’ve ever had the one app they didn’t own and control was shut down by their bought and paid puppets in Congress.

Yesterday, House Republicans wrote to Trump urging him to terminate the IRS's new free tax filing program.

They've also been trying to strip the IRS of its funding.

The GOP wants to make it harder for you to do your taxes while making it easier for the rich to dodge theirs.
29 House Republicans want Trump to scrap the IRS's free direct tax filing tool on day one of his presidency
GOP lawmakers are framing the IRS's free direct tax filing system as an example of the "weaponization of government against Americans."

This is so upsetting, why the rules of engagement do not apply to Trump? Why are we so weak as a country to enforce them?
Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.
