Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Every time I hear a kid talk about how they practiced for the mass shooting that eventually came, I think it's a searing indictment of our country's failure to actually give a shit about the safety of kids.

New from me: After Oregon’s record-breaking fire season in 2020, lawmakers wanted to map out which properties were most at risk. But anger from homeowners escalated quickly.

In this telling, Oregon’s hotter, drier climate isn’t the problem; the map is.

Nothing says more about this movement than the fact that their main focus, beyond the attempt to roll back all evidenced-based medicine because it "is gay," is to somehow make french fries and soda good for you. They will fight the war to make treats healthy to the last man.
16 million people are losing their healthcare and hospitals are already closing because of it but it’s a win because one of the bottom tier fast food restaurants is going to start selling the same Mexican Cokes that you can already get at literally every store

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence
Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/

Border Patrol itself is reporting that it is engaging in racial profiling and then attempting to arrest people who ignore its attempts at racial profiling and try to leave. Yet apparently nothing can be done to stop them? This is a crime. We need state prosecutors to step up.

I think it's really important to mock and ridicule the people responsible for all these American crimes. That's not because what they're doing is funny or lighthearted; it's because poking at their deepest insecurities and exposing them to public shame is absolutely essential to winning this fight.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
