Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

It's also not true that RFK Jr has identified a real problem but proposes the wrong solutions.
The "problem" he's identified is that Americans are unhealthier than we've ever been (false) and that prescription drugs are making kids sad, autistic and trans (deranged).

I am really tired of these "well, you gotta hand it to them..." pieces.
It is hard to find anything accurate in the MAHA report, and the quality is appalling.
They are correct that the evidence supports that a far greater fraction of Americans' diet comprises hyperpalatable ultraprocessed foods.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited).
