Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.
It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.
Warning signs are everywhere.

Stumbled across one of those "How can we get more women involved in X industry?" articles.
You know what two suggestions you never see in those thinkpieces?
1: Pay women the same as men.
2: Get rid of the toxic men who scare women away from that industry.

"Performative cruelty to dehumanize and humiliate trans people."
No one thinks McBride is a threat to anyone. Pulling this shit only further confirms that the anti-trans stuff was never about safety. It’s performative cruelty to dehumanize and humiliate trans people.
Some updates on the attacks on Rep-elect Sarah McBride and on Trans women in general.

The reason Elie Weisel said "no one is illegal" is because declaring people as "illegal" is an early step to creating a permission structure for mass dehumanization and genocide.

There’s a “Dems use alienating campus language” discourse going on; I think it’s basically right. College-educated America — media, boardroom, Dems — does adopt language that other people don’t use and sounds odd to them.
Years ago, the AP replaced “illegal” with “undocumented immigrants.” (1/2)
