Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.

Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.

This is dangerous & disappointing.

If Evangelicals want to know why people are leaving organized religion, it's because you excuse and elevate the objectively worst people as "God's chosen," while ridiculing the poor, marginalized, and downtrodden as sinners and lepers.

And I'm talking to Evangelicals of all faiths.

My official declaration: It is not only legal but military and patriotic duty for members of the military to refuse to follow manifestly unlawful orders.

To refuse is the only possible act of an honorable person.

If that is sedition, then I am proud to be guilty of sedition.

Farms "pivoting into value-added products" reminds me of a time when as a small child on an Irish farm, I pivoted away from the charging baby goat and into what might be very euphemistically be called "value-added product." If you take my meaning.
I’m equally grossed out by farmers being successful at anything right now. “Pivoting into value-added products” let me stop you right there while I look for some pitchforks & see if I can gather a mob real quick. Entrepreneur? blech imagine being filthy with capitalist dreams. shudder.
