I wrote this poem almost two years ago in honour of the children of Palestine, Sudan and Congo, as well as all other colonised nations around the globe. I am so honoured that it received millions of shares within a couple months globally. Makes me happy to know that there are still people who feel 💛

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing.

Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases.

No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

A refreshing story and an important reminder that even though antivaxx parents suck the oxygen out of every conversation, an overwhelming majority of parents still want and seek out vaccines to protect their children from diseases.

As measles cases rise, some parents become vaccine enthusiasts
Vaccine hesitancy has been growing in the U.S. in recent years. But as Texas measles cases rise and other states report outbreaks too, some parents want their kids to get their shots early.

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

Is there a German word for when the Secretary of HHS is so dangerous his advice causes children to sustain damage to their livers?
“Physicians at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, say they’ve now treated a handful of children who were given so much vitamin A that they had signs of liver damage.
Some of them had received unsafe doses of supplements for several weeks in an attempt to prevent a measles infection”
For Some Measles Patients, Vitamin A Remedy Supported by RFK Jr. Leaves Them More Ill
After the health secretary promoted vitamin A as a cure, parents in West Texas began giving their children high doses, sometimes to prevent infection.

The Office of Long COVID Research and Practice will close as soon as this week, according to an internal HHS email obtained by Inside Medicine.

This is the opposite of what you would do if you were genuinely interested in finding treatments for chronic diseases, as RFK claims.

RFK Jr and Brooke Rollins want to let bird flu run through flocks to identify the birds that are immune so that we can breed them.

The problem is that production birds are hybrids, and we don’t breed them. You’d think at least one of these two assholes would know that.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Trump is using the Alien Enemies Act to deport a refugee artist who came here for asylum. If all you need to deport someone is a baseless accusation, it could happen to literally anyone. This is not a country. It’s an authoritarian military state.
Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

We posted this lesson on term "terrorism" when Pres. Bush used the accusation to justify war.

We need it again in face of White House use of term to deny people their constitutional & human rights.

“Vote blue no matter who” creates a dynamic in which conservatives can run in the Democratic Party.

That might not be the purpose of this ideology, but it’s the unintended consequence.

Voters must have standards.
