Also get vaccinated if you can.

How dare they lie so shamelessly! RFK Jr. has long spread distrust about childhood vaccines, especially the MMR vaccine, by falsely linking it to autism edzardernst.com/2025/02/robe..., and after his trip to Samoa, which cost 83 children’s lives to preventable measles www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

BREAKING: Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on Super Bowl Sunday to make it clear they will not "move on." "Stand With Us. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT'S TIME FOR THE TRUTH."

Your risk of blood clots after a Covid infection are 30 times higher. There are risks with all medications, the risks are very small compared to the far greater risk from COVID itself! Much of the media is focused on the incredibly small risk. www.hdruk.ac.uk/news/new-stu...

ICE blamed this guy’s eight skull fractures on a brick wall. They actually beat him with the same metal rod they used to smash car windows. “There was never a wall.”

On Monday, Philadelphia attorney and activist Michael Coard was granted access to the secret location where the feds have stashed the slavery exhibit that was ripped down on January 22nd. In this conversation, he reveals what he saw and explains why the removal matters far beyond Philadelphia.

RFK Jr said during his Senate confirmation hearings that his trip to Samoa in 2019 ahead of a devastating measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines." Documents obtained by @us.theguardian.com and @apnews.com undermine that testimony. Details here, by me and @aliswenson.bsky.social ⬇️

Today following months of campaigning by survivor Jodie, @evawuk.bsky.social, #NotYourPorn, @claremcglynn.bsky.social and @glamouruk.bsky.social, a new law comes into force criminalising deepfake abuse. This is a welcome and long-overdue step for survivors, but criminalisation alone is not enough.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Heads up...Trump just posted a video on Truth Social that shows the Obamas as monkeys at the very end. Not sure if you reported on this already.

Die Erklärung, dass die alle bis auf die Knochen kompromiert sind, erklärt so vieles, das ich bisher nicht nachvollziehen konnte.

Wer das System Epstein verstehen will muss sich vergewärtigen, dass Kompromat auch nur ein besonderes Wertpapier ist. Der Rest folgt dann logisch.

Die Lehre lautet nicht: „Überall sind Verschwörungen.“ Sondern: „Überall, wo Kontrolle asymmetrisch ist und Öffentlichkeit fehlt, entstehen Räume für Missbrauch.“

Yet another reason why the idea of allowing men to enter female-only spaces is a serious threat to the privacy, safety, and dignity of women and girls.

There are many encouraging signs for women and girls. This is just one of them. @naomicunningham.bsky.social is amazing and now people are seeing it. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/54a60a4...

Well, most of us knew this. But how do the multiple men feel who told me they knew for sure that Khelif had a functioning uterus? They never answered the question why they were so invested in this. Do they just like watching men punch women?

This aligns with our experience in using machine learning in classification problems. Without human oversight, repetitive data curation cycles, and the use of explainable AI we would have run into various problems and wrong conclusions due to dependent variables, data inconsistencies, biases, etc.

Exploring the origins of the tomato require I tell you the story of SOUTH AMERICAN PIMPS. Not the kind with feathers in their hats... I'm talking about Solanum pimpinellifolium, the 'currant tomato' or 'pimp'. They grow wild in the Andean regions of Ecuador & Peru.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

‼️ Don’t stop talking about the Mariupol massacre of 2022! 🔽🔽🔽

The science is settled. Thimerosal is safe & allows more children to be safely vaccinated where resources are restricted. To be clear, this is not out of concern for the largely Black & Brown children who receive these vaccines, it’s part of 🧠 🪱’s continued & insane effort to discredit vaccines.

True, but worth bearing in mind that lots of the most widely-used reports - like those from @ipbes.net and @ipcc.bsky.social - have undergone multiple rounds of open peer review

As if Nipah virus weren’t bad enough, some patients in Asia were coinfected with an emerging bat virus called Pteropine orthoreovirus (PRV). Symptoms of PRV include fever, disorientation, abnormal gait, and difficulty breathing. PRV seems to have traits that increase likelihood of zoonosis.
