The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Health care premiums are skyrocketing. Why?

Because Republicans prioritized a massive tax break for billionaires over making health care more affordable for you.

A win! The Institute of Museum and Library Services (the federal agency that supports the nation’s libraries) has reinstated thousands of grants that had been canceled by the Trump administration, after a federal judge ruled the executive order mandating those cuts was unlawful.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

I'm becoming more & more glad I did my PC rebuild/upgrade about a year or so before everything spiked in price.

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.”

Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.
