We’re sleepwalking into a disaster
5 million-plus kindergartners now live in counties where schools don’t have “herd immunity” for measles, Washington Post reporters found.

WaPo also built a tool to look up your own county.

Exceptional, and alarming work by @laurenweberhp.bsky.social @caitlingilbert.bsky.social et al.

U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands.
Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.

Freedom of the Press is irrelevant if fascist billionaires control all of our media.
If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control:

Paramount Studios
CBS
CNN
MTV
HBO
Comedy Central
Nickelodeon
Cartoon Network
Warner Bros.
DC Studios
Fandango
New Line Cinema
TNT Sports
TBS
Oracle

And more.

Donald Trump said strikes on targets within Venezuela could begin "very soon.”

We take the President's words seriously, and literally.

I'm working with Senators Kaine, Paul, and Schumer to prevent the Trump Administration from dragging us into a war that Americans don't want.

Did you know that the word "humane" was removed from ICE's official policy?

The policy, the Detained Parents Directive, had previously included a written commitment to pursue “humane enforcement” of immigration laws.

This year, ICE has stranded at least 100 children by deporting their parents.
