After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers.

No.

I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children.

Vaccines save lives and protect health.

Period.

Politicians moving into government are informed by the outgoing government and a presumption of honest accountancy, not yet another batch of lies. That is why plans had to be revised. As conditions improve, so more can be done, but just look at what has already!

Remember this, when voting in Canadian federal election. Cons always go after Healthcare, so that insurance companies can make a buck off privatisation. Education is also in their crosshair, since it's much easier to control a bunch of dummies. 📌 #polcan canadians.org/analysis/har...

Paying £200m a year to advisers and consultants.

Cost passed to customers. Interest on £21bn debt pile passed to customers. One-third of bill covers interest. Execs get bonuses.

End abuses. Nationalise.

Ever double ordered?
I have two identical skirts (indestructible denim) and two dresses. They had a period of maybe a decade between the two and the last one, a decade ago. It should have been no surprise then, after ordering a desk, I have just had two big boxes delivered.
I dare not open them. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This should sound every alarm bell we’ve got.🧵

KKR- Thames Water’s preferred buyer- agreed to fix a US town’s sewers in exchange for guaranteed revenue.

Promised a 4-year bill freeze. Bills rose 28%. Sold after 6 years, pocketing 2.8x their investment.

Qatar offered the jet directly to Trump, not the DoD. His team says the Air Force will “accept” it to dodge the Emoluments Clause, then donate it to his library so he can use it personally later. Using the AF as a loophole proves he’s just laundering a jet through the Pentagon.

When men are attacked, they really get aggressive, often those who play dress-up more than most.
You are definitely a rabid GC extremist repeating the same tired arguments as 'absolute facts of nature.' I'm sure Rowling totally loves you. A DSD person is neither a natal male nor woman and you can shove your Dawkins with his focus on just gametes and kariotypes where the sun doesn't shine.
