What would happen? In Twenty five years?? If childhood vaccines disappeared??? 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

This is a good time to remember that immigration judges aren’t real judges. They work for DOJ as part of the executive branch (under Bondi and Trump) and the fact that we call them judges like they’re independent arbiters would be laughable in a free and fair country.

Another baby was born in detention & the newborn is about to be sent back 2 the Dilley torture facility where disease is running rampant. What if this were your baby?

You took your daughter to a birthday party. In the air, invisible, is the measles virus. Even if she survives, the virus may never be done with her. Elizabeth Bruenig on what measles can do to a body, to a brain, to a family: theatln.tc/9FsS56o8 Get your kids vaxxed. For them. For the community.

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Protesters are in the streets of Milan protesting ICE in their city! It’s unanimous: everybody hates ICE. #ICEout #FuckICE #ProudBlue #Italy #Olympics

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Debunking Trump claim re paracetamol by highly respected "Lancet" journal.“No evidence that paracetamol use during pregnancy increases the autism spectrum disorder, ADHD or intellectual disability among children”, Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Women’s Health. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

The @guardian gets the headline right 🏆 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NEW: Humanitarian officials staged a last-minute plea to Trump officials at their fancy hotel to re-start food aid $ for a huge refugee camp in Kenya. The Trumpers blew it off and babies starved. @annamaria.bsky.social & Brett Murphy www.propublica.org/article/keny...

Dachau opened in March 1933 under the legal fiction of “protective custody.” People were detained without charges, trials, or limits. Courts were sidelined under emergency decrees. Families were separated. The Nazi regime insisted this was lawful, temporary, & necessary for state security.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

excerpt: ^^^ After what Goodarzi called “the abduction,” everyone “was crying, terrified, huddled together.” “To do it in a place where children are, with complete disregard for what children see, there’s no low these people won’t stoop to,” Goodarzi said.

If only this had been predictable when you voted to put Kennedy in charge

Share Jimenez Rosa's harrowing story and remember her name. The cruelty of this administration is astounding. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

This is the enduring lesson of Weimar: extremism never triumphs on its own. It succeeds because others enable it—because of their ambition, because of their fear, or because they misjudge the dangers of small concessions www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/hitl...

Thank you, Trump voters.

Historians will need to explain how we went from Congress being an honorable profession to electing a slew of selfish, greedy grifters

NEW 🚨 The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

We cannot allow them to silence our voices! Submit to the cause... NEVER to them! Fuck their blueprint! We design the path to our destiny! We will not go back!!!!! #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #BlueSkyVets #Voices4Victory

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945

He called the CDC a cesspool of corruption that lied about the COVID vaccines. Now someone has committed violence because of the same misinformation.

An innocent President would simply release the Epstein Files and demand a full FBI investigation into every Epstein client. That’s it. That’s the whole ballgame summed up.

contrarian.substack.com/p/the-courts... @rickhasen.bsky.social is brilliant here- and this should scare you … we are on verge of voting rights meltdown

The astonishing thing about Watergate, in contrast to today, is how the President was actually shamed into leaving office. Imagine that: shame.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes. I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.

DEMOCRATIC. LEADERSHIP. YOU. ARE. NOT. DOING. ENOUGH.

“I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business,” said Mike Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases and pandemic preparations.”

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

This about covers it.

Life on a Monday in August may seem normal enough. And yet the reality is "We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country." I so appreicate @maddow.msnbc.com describing the simple reality clearly. It does us no good to pretend it's not real. The only question is what we do about it.

This is what is happening right now.

Russell Vought claimed on CNN this weekend that NIH funding is corrupt. A reminder, his family has directly benefited from the NIH.

A classic coordination failure: everyone makes excuses for why they go along with authoritarianism rather than resisting. And democracy and the rule of law crumble. We thought our institutions and culture were stronger, but we are following Hungary's path.

"The great irony of vaccines is that populations become complacent about a disease and the need for immunisation largely because a successful vaccine made it feel as though the threat was consigned to the past" excellent stuff by Francis Ryan on the rise of measles across the globe

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
