i really don't think that children are a choice everyone wants when they have plenty of other fulfilling (and cheaper!) options. for all but the last 80 years, women had few choices about whether to have kids and now they do.

As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

🚨 Reform's deputy leader in Leicestershire Joseph Boam shared homophobic, sexist and Islamophobic content.
He’s constantly doubled down on saying it’s ‘fake news’, but his lie is just getting bigger now. There’s even more now in this article:

In the interests of repopulating the earth/my new social media history, a part of me is tempted to relive this classic on Saturday night.
A Legal Live Tweet to keep us cosy as the bad weather draws in.

A new article estimates that even a 10% DECLINE in MMR vax coverage in the US could lead to 11 MILLION US measles cases over 25 years.
IF instead MMR coverage INCREASES by 5%, cases would falled to <10K.
Given infectiousness of Measlies, it's VITAL to ⬆️ MMR vax rates.

Many will be voting in local elections next Thursday. If we had #PR it would be easy for progressives to rank the candidates by order of preference. But we don’t so we have to avoid splitting our vote and letting in Tories/Reform. So please vote for the progressive with the best chance of winning.
