I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

That's my senator. :)
ICE and CBP are using facial recognition to surveil Americans and target protesters.
No transparency. No accountability.
We need to pass my ICE Out of Our Faces Act to ban this abuse and defend our constitutional rights.

There are 70,000 people in DHS concentration camps. 3000 are children. Close the camps. Being our neighbors home.

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

The Kansas State Legislature just passed SB 244, an extremist bill which cruelly targets trans people and their access to restrooms and accurate identity documents.
Kansans: The time to act is NOW. 🚨
Contact your legislators and urge them to SUPPORT the veto of SB 244: tinyurl.com/2m77hbkk

Look at this review! Legitimately proud of myself. As I forge this new identity as an adult entertainer—as I navigate the world as someone whose sexuality is finally, belatedly being perceived—I’m creating pornography that is both personal and political. And hot.

I'm sure this will be a gift for stalkers and domestic abusers.
I missed this comment before, and in case the ring/flock divorce suggests to you that ring is any less evil, consider the prospect of ring or ring users getting to decide who has “dementia” and then uploading them to their digital dragnet.

Solidarity means we are all neighbors, everywhere, always. Don't wait for some magical change. We are always who was coming to save us.
something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet:
helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis.
and you can help.

The second, though, is that able-bodied people often think of someone being "wheelchair bound."
For most who use them, the wheelchair is not the issue. The frailty of the body is an issue - the wheelchair is a solution. The disability is what binds you, but the wheelchair provides *freedom.*

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
