The thing that gets me about this "vaccines cause autism" narrative, which has been proven to be false time and time again, is that it's treated as if autism is the worst possible outcome for a human being (which, it is, not). Making autism the ultimate enemy further stigmatizes folks

I'm seeing an uptick of 'eat the rich' posts and I have to caution against that. They're likely infested with all kinds of unhygienic properties. You know what they've been doing. Don't put that in your bodies, I implore you.

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.
I want more people to make the connections.

relatedly please send funds to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social. ICE might suffer in this weather but our unhoused neighbors definitely will without support!!!!
It’ll be dangerously cold this weekend in the Twin Cities. Windchills will reach -20°. With how violently ICE is grabbing people, they might not be dressed for the weather, especially if ICE keeps dumping people miles from their home or car without their phone. Frostbite hits quickly at these temps.
