Great piece about an impressive patriot and real leader.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

It could totally have been a four-lane stroads with strip malls like normal American cities that shuts down with the first sign of snow.

can I just point out again that refusing an illegal order is what you're supposed to do? that's why the military defines some orders as illegal

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Thinking about the ICE agent who told me he was being "paid handsomely" to sit in a courthouse all day and not kidnap anyone

I guess now we all understand why Marco debased* himself to be part of this administration. *"debased" is a figure of speech, you cannot debase that which has no value

As a public service, I am reading Scott Beardsley’s book on higher education. Just as Beardsley sacrificed a lucrative career at McKinsey to take a $700k a year job as Dean of Darden on his way to the very sketchy appointment as UVA president, I paid $12 for the kindle edition of “Higher Calling.”

finally, we're living through precedented times

Trump's eyes are closing as he stands and listens to Caine

POP-UP RALLY at 2pm TODAY Corner of US 29 & Hydraulic Rd. (Stonefield) Last night’s U.S. invasion of Venezuela and abduction of President Maduro is not OK - and not legal. *Another rally tomorrow (Sunday) at 1pm at Federal Courthouse at 5th St. & W. Main, sponsored by Cville DSA.*

The House Armed Services Committee also was not briefed, I've confirmed.

You guys can't successfully make felony charges stick against people hitting federal agents with objects on camera! You think you're gonna get up and say "Your Honor, just give me this one!" and walk out with a W?

Fortunately the US Government has a great track record in bringing charges in court

This Hell does not seem very fresh

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

“There’s evidence from this study that very early vaccination delays lead to later vaccination delays and even missed vaccination for measles. This shows that vaccine hesitancy is really starting early and has a long arc with severe end consequences.” www.statnews.com/2026/01/02/m...

2026 sucked. How long till it's over?

i am not free of american exceptionalism but man it is the easiest thing in the world to ask yourself "if a foreign country bombed our department of defense and flew away with our president would we call it a war even if we want that president to die" and the answer is obviously yes

The FIFA Peace Prize doesn't mean what it used to

Right now Greenland and Canada are watching the world's response to the motherfucker doing the illegal invasion he said he was going to do.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Charlottesville/Albemarle folks! Have your ACA premiums risen? Have you downgraded to a plan with higher out-of-pocket costs? I'm working on a story for @cvilleweekly.bsky.social and want to hear from you. DM me or email news at c-ville dot com.

Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests

This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc) #1: Reuters

I can't remember, am I am academic or an elite?

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

Details still unclear.

The most important thing to me in this crucial survey on Trump support and news diet is that Trump is still doing better with people who are newsless and/or actively avoid news sources.

I just feel like "flammable nightclub ceilings," "indoor nightclub pyrotechnics," & "inadequate nightclub points of egress" are all factors we've considered & analyzed so many times in the past

“Why are Americans mistrustful of AI?” asks the morning briefing thing I’m skimming while I “no” through literally a dozen questions being asked to me by a robot who stands between me and the person I need to talk to to schedule the x-ray that I really, really need
