You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.
They’re not hiding the brutality anymore.
They want you to see it.
They want you to get used to it.👇

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

The ACIP decision to discontinue the recommendation for a universal hepatitis B birth dose vaccine will cause harm.

As the federal government continues to fail children's health, families can rely on our nation's physicians to continue to put children's health first.

Temu ACIP has just voted to discontinue the recommendation for the birth dose of HBV vaccine against the advice of all scientific experts.

They have now established beyond a shadow of doubt that they are not a legitimate scientific body.

Meissner says “we are doing harm”.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

A fair trade off: extreme weather, species extinction, loss of habitable land, and more disease in exchange for bringing back the Woody. Hooray.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

Here is Jason Goldman's beautiful, amazing takedown of the whole sham #ACIP meeting today. (2 parts) So glad he said what every expert in the field is feeling today (and all year).

Summary of ACIP so far today.

In the 10 months since RFK Jr. took the helm at HHS, this committee has slipped into the realm of disinformation, conspiracies, and data torture.

They have targeted vulnerable groups for stigma by blaming them for HBV even existing in the U.S.

Isn't it an oxyMORON to be targeting SUPPOSED Venezuela drug boats and then hand over a pardon to a Honduran drug trafficker? 🙄

It would seem to the average bear that blowing up boats isn't really about drugs at all! Just what is it all about? Oil? Are we reliving the 18th century?

SCOOP: From a U.S. prison cell, Honduras' ex-president secured a likely pardon for drug trafficking thanks to a letter he penned praising President Trump — whom he called "Your Excellency" — and a persistent lobbying campaign by longtime Trump pal Roger Stone.
Scoop: The letter behind Trump's pardon of Honduras' ex-president for drug trafficking
The surprise announcement of Juan Orlando Hernandez's looming pardon is a window into the unorthodox, norm-shattering way President Trump grants clemency.

The Gangster State strikes again, with a full-blown presidential pardon for a convicted cocaine trafficker and conspirator who corrupted the Honduran government with his crimes as president. The people must defend freedom and the rule of law against mobster politicians.
