We've been vaccinating people for what, like six decades now? If there was any causal relationship between vaccines and autism at all, we'd surely at least have a robust high speed rail system in this country by now

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

Water is a critical national resource. It's part of our commons and belongs to all of us. Yet a decades long ideological commitment to privatisation has seen water treated as a commodity, a profit extraction vehicle that exists to enrich a small few at the expense of the many.
We can do it better.

BREAKING -- Trump's illegal targeting of law firms continues, attacking WilmerHale for hiring Robert Mueller.
Here's the thing. EVERY SINGLE ONE of these attacks is an "unofficial act" outside the scope of the presidency.
So Trump can face civil suits -- and criminal cases.

You may be faintly aware of Bill Browder. You may have heard the name Sergei Magnitsky. This book, Red Notice by Bill Browder explains the link between the two and exposes the brutal death of Magnitsky in a Russian prison. Read it. It is just too important not to.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
