Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10%
$1200 can be life or death at that level of income
top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"

If RFK Jr. will not resign, he must be impeached and removed, for the sake of the nation's health and safety.
Three senior CDC leaders who resigned told The Post they were asked to participate in an unscientific vaccine recommendation process that they believe could harm the health of Americans.

Kevin Stitt has spend this entire legislative session vetoing good bills with positive impacts on the lives of Oklahomans written and passed by a majority of his own party because he's an asshole who hates the fact that he's not the dictator of the state.
I fucking hate that man.

At a time when homelessness and cost burdens are rising in #Oklahoma, supporters of SB 128 & SB 333 are pushing back on Gov. Kevin Stitt's claims that the measures, respectively, would place undue burdens on property owners and interfere with private industry.

This is absolutely terrible news.
With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.
