Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

"The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

THREAD: One reason I haven't complained about Democrats this year is the simple math that 218 House Votes & 67 Senate Votes are required for impeachment.
There is no way Democrats, ALONE can save us. Less still if we actively erode them.

The CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccines—namely that they cause autism.
The page links to a number of studies, including one by anti-vax allies of Robert Kennedy Jr.
