Going to repeat myself here. One of my old lady opinions is that every anti-vaxxer should be required to sit down and do 100-150 years of their personal genealogy, so they can see a couple generations worth of children's deaths due to preventative childhood diseases.
BREAKING: Florida will work to eliminate all child vaccine mandates in the state, officials say.

I know lawyering up and shutting up is scary. Believe me. I do.
But you CANNOT talk your way out of an arrest or detention.
You CAN talk your way into charges, arrest, or detention.
And you'd be amazed how often the response to lawyering up is just letting you go.

Lol i posted this a month ago and I was right. No more federal inspection of dairy but trying to remove red dye 40 from foods
Those people weren't talking about making sure that your food is free from e-coli. They just want red-dye 40 out of breakfast cereal. They don't care if you die from eating romaine. Shit, they WANT raw milk to be legal.
remember when some people were like "well I disagree with rfk jr on vaccines but at least he's going to make food safer"

It really is critical that people accept this. You don’t have to understand it, just accept it. The point is literally for kids and people to die. Now, is it foolish that they think THEY are the genetically superior? Sure. But eugenics is definitionally narcissistic and dumb.
RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.
These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer.
Watch: they'll start vaccine *bans* within a year.

Let’s make sure they’re wrong, shall we?
So it goes without saying, but let's say it anyway: the concentration of attacks on trans people isn't because trans people are the only people fascists hate (although they absolutely do hate them). It's because they're the people they think non-fascists are least likely to defend.

Loyalty is not a one-way street. If someone is demanding your loyalty, but not offering theirs, you can ignore the mouth noises. It's meaningless.

Today's challenge: Every time you start spinning out in panic from reading the news or catching up on social media, put down the phone and spend 5 min. cleaning up/picking up/tidying/somehow improving your home environment.
And then notice how much of a difference your small effort can make.

What DOGE is doing doesn’t meaningfully reduce govt spending and it in no way improves efficiency. What it does is weaken America and strengthen our enemies. It is time to focus on why that is the goal of Musk and Trump. Why is damaging the US their primary goal?

The responses Trump voters give when you ask them why they’re okay with Musk hacking and slashing his way through the government have me convinced that if we manage to pull out of this mess, the first thing we have to do is bring back Schoolhouse Rock

To: ANDREA LUCAS
Cc: ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGES: +29 others
Good morning, Andrea. Apparently no one in leadership is willing to ring the alarm bells so it falls upon one of us to do it. The tactics you are employing and actions you have taken in lock step with this new administration are illegal and unconstitutional. You are not fit to be our chair much less hold a license to practice law. I will not participate in attempts to target private citizens and colleagues through the recent illegal executive orders. I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States, and the Commission serves the people of the United States. If you want to continue following the illegal and unethical orders of our president and the unelected leader of "doge" that's on you.
As I said in the email I sent to my colleagues yesterday (which was mysteriously deleted not only from their inboxes, but from my sent box), I know I take a great personal risk in sending out this message. But, at the end of the day, my actions align with what the EEOC was charged with doing under the law. I will not compromise my ethics and my duty to uphold the law. I will not cower to bullying and intimidation.
If upon reflection, you feel like now would be a good time to take a vacation and resign from your position, please 'reply all' to this email and put "I'd Like to Occupy Mars!" in the subject line. We will take this as notification that you are resigning your position as acting chair.
P.S. Happy Black History Month!
Sincerely, [redacted]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwmmdl5nok26w3zhmg2d3fvt/bafkreidlbkziqjzlfrzdecxngor36vw35f6f6sr3jld2yicmku7g623poe@jpeg)
