This is utter nonsense, dangerous nonsense some people will unfortunately fall prey to.
Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."

With fentanyl-from-Canada back in the news, a quick note: Canada is not a major source of fentanyl to the US.

@safety.bsky.app wth? Not only is that article widespread, it litterally proves russias murderous intent? Free Mira!
@safety.bsky.app could you please unban Mira of Kyiv
@reshetz.bsky.social she is one of the least offensive people I can imagine. I would also argue that it is morally questionable to deplatform Ukrainians who through their presence keep us informed of this criminal war forced upon them.

Romania is effectively in an undeclared war with Russia, says Interior Minister Cătălin Predoiu, citing a steady stream of cyberattacks and disinformation efforts.
“We are no longer living in times of peace,” he warned.

If you see AI videos of a man in a Guy Fawkes mask speaking and pretending to be Anonymous, those are fake and are being generated by MAGA. Be aware and know the signs.
It's cringe, don't fall for it.

Vaccines as love 💜
My mother is a retired pediatric nurse. To her vaccines was love. I've adopted this attitude as well.
I know that people have a lot of thoughts about #COVID vaccines in kids but as someone who cared for previously healthy kids who had really bad outcomes, I will be vaccinating my kids every chance I can get.

You don’t need to be Ukrainian to support Ukraine. You just need to be human—to stand for freedom, justice, and the right to live in peace. Supporting Ukraine means opposing oppression and suffering. It’s about empathy, dignity, and defending what’s right for all of humanity 💙💛

That a wartime president who courageously remained in his country despite being urged to leave, and has united and led his country since, is lectured on 'peace' and 'advantage' by a former military photographer and a draft dodger is a massive irony.
