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.

If you don’t already, & have the means, donate to Wikipedia. A coffee a month from those that can adds up.
One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work
Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

After a friend told me things aren’t that bad, I remembered my father’s colleague in Germany who, with a sweeping gesture in a lovely restaurant, said 1930s Germans sat here happily refusing to see the rise of evil because they had no stomach for fear.
