The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

We have allowed Republicans to co-opt Christianity since the 1980s, and since then they have used it to pass policies that fundamentally violate “love thy neighbor” and other Christian virtues. Roy Cooper doing this is very smart and will help us in 2026.

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.

Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules

Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding

Hey @nytimes.com how come all your California fire coverage is slanted toward the Palisades?? More homes were destroyed, more people are displaced, in Altadena, and these are real working class people. Shine a light on them, please!

Am back, after evacuating from the Eaton Fire. I still have a house, and nobody is hurt. Nothing else truly matters.

If you want to help victims of the Altadena disaster, I personally vouch for what this church is doing. www.lacanadachurch.org/lcfresponds

Why is nobody talking about how Shamsud-Din Jabbar came from a place with sick and cruel extremist beliefs inimical to American values, a place that poses a constant threat to our freedoms

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.

Science works, y'all.

I wonder if there is some sort of discrimination lawsuit viable against the grocery stores who require you to scan a QR code with your phone to get a discounted price on a product.

I walked out of Ralphs today and left my whole order behind when it didn't work for me & they wouldn't give it to me.

Somebody please tell me this is not true.
The polio vaccine worked so well, humans forgot polio existed — and somehow that’s the problem.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Hi Tom! Hey, I clicked the link for the starter pack in your bio and I get taken to a page that says it can't be found.

I hope that more businesses will come over here and we will be able to interact with them the way that we were able to on Twitter. And right now I'd like to be able to chat with Southern California Edison, also known colloquially as Seldom Conducts Electricity.... sigh.

Is there a starter package for science?

Found my way over here. It's going to be a rough ride in the US for awhile. Hope we can help each other through it.
