If we are going back, can we at least go back to when we vaccinated our kids, drank pasteurized milk, and inspected our food?

Well now, would you look at that?
A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Definitely a huge win for higher ed. I think it's important to point out that the suit that led to this outcome was brought by *UC faculty and unions* and not the UC system. The academic workers are fighting back, and we should support them.
This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

The public has been misinformed about the severity of crossing the border without documentation. They are at the same time protecting child molesters who may also been involved in human trafficking. You have the wrong priorities and no morals if you support this administration.

As Russia continues pummeling Ukraine, FIFA’s Gianni Infantino suggests the Russians should return to the international soccer community.
Predictably, his comments haven’t gone over well.
