#Measles is preventable with two doses of vaccine.

Yet in 2024, 30+ million children remained under-protected, leading to more large or disruptive outbreaks.

Only 76% of children got the second dose, far below the 95% coverage needed to stop outbreaks 👉 bit.ly/4kFzSGW

Honestly it’s good to know that when a guy who spent decades hanging out with a famous pedophile and is accused of being a pedophile himself spends years hyping up the existence of pedophile files and doesn’t release them, people will only elect him president twice before they get suspicious.

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

Ask yourself why Rolling Stone is the only outlet performing this obvious public service.
• Mamdani is not in the country illegally
• He does not have any connection to 9/11 or jihadist terrorism
• Mamdani hasn’t actually said or done anything antisemitic
• He did not call to ‘globalize the intifada’
• He’s not a communist

A majority in the United States Senate voted to kill many of their own citizens today in order to make rich people richer.

Sometimes you have to type it out to fully grasp what has just happened.

CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:

“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.

Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

I’m sure this notorious psychopath who just unilaterally started a war because he was bored will wind this down with great care.

This reporter on @CNN is carrying the water so hard you’d think it’s Fox News. Incredibly disappointing. Shame on corporate media.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I'm begging folks to not compliment themselves too much on their "non-violent" marches & rallies.

Instead, try to understand that violence at protests is generally a result of law enforcement escalation.

Then, the galaxy brain move is to ask yourself "which protests do police tend to attack?"

NEW: This opinion piece in today’s Washington Post is one of the most important it has ever published.

Shadi Hamid on the urgency of calling the Gaza crimes what they so patently are: a genocide.

I don’t like violating paywalls, but make no apology for doing so for this. It’s essential.

Traveling by subway last summer in London and Paris, and by train through England, France, and Belgium was one of the best experiences of my life.
You can tell MAGA people don't travel because literally the nicest cities on earth have world-class public transportation and that public transportation is *the thing* that makes them nice, world-class cities
Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."
