“This is a story of how humanity almost eradicated a disease... and them some fools ruined it for everyone“

And before we get to the Return of Polio stage.

I think the return of the Measles deserves an in depth documentary that focuses on human nature, memory, misinformation and demogoguery.

A peanut paste was saving Kenyan children - and then Trump took it away reut.rs/48QYDwa

The unspoken part of this is that everybody else was *supposed* to be the ones "going extinct."

This was an actual nazi policy after the housing crisis Germany experienced during hyperinflation in the 1920-30s. They targeted Jewish people claiming they controlled real estate and spread lies that Roma and Sinti people were "invading" and people with disabilities were a burden on the taxpayer

Prices jumped 7% over last year—twice the rate of inflation and far beyond wage growth. And the worst spikes? The tariff-hit categories: clothes up 6%, electronics up 7%, appliances up a staggering 24%. Families aren’t imagining it. They’re paying for it every day.

Women aren’t a “problem” for authoritarians. We’re the structural threat that breaks their machine. And they know it. They want us quiet. We organize, feed, protect, and vote. Hell no, we won’t shut up.

This point rarely filters out through the fog of fossil fuel propaganda. (Also, green energy is nearly FREE after installation costs.) Why is fossil fuel propaganda allowed? It is literally killing our planet. We HAVE TO stop the system that allows politicans to be paid off by big-money interests.

As millions of Americans begin to prepare for Thanksgiving, they’ll find grocery store prices have skyrocketed. Thanks to Trump’s tariffs and inflation, this Thanksgiving will be the priciest in recent history.

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow 11/22 is the big day for the Remove the Regime rally in Washington D.C. Drop kick Murphys to entertain. @chasingoz.bsky.social @jessicadenson07.bsky.social So many more there to fight for democracy. Al Green, FLARE, many more. Demanding congress & Senate to stand up & take action. 👇

‘Deathly silent’: two out of three corals in world heritage-listed Ningaloo reef have been killed, scientists confirm

Across the country, public libraries are running “food for fines” campaigns for Thanksgiving and the Holidays. action.everylibrary.org/foodforfines via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Neo-Nazi leader who plotted NYE attack in NYC pleads guilty

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

"Nothing matters” is what they want us to think. Our actions DO make a difference; when in doubt, look at what you do each day for friends and family. #DisinfoBuster #TruthBrigade

People are struggling with inflation, poor healthcare, education issues and daily economic pressure, yet your priority seems to be golf and praising each other. True leadership means serving the public, not hosting expensive golf events. Show the same energy for solving real problems.

Hopefully elsewhere, too. Seattle?

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

This is exactly right. Every word. The idea that BBC "doctored' Trump's speech to "make it look like" Trump encouraged the Jan 6 attack is preposterous. Trump was IMPEACHED for encouraging the attack. This is part of a strategic effort to move BBC even further to the right.

This is just devastating... we have the money, we had and still have, the food... We have to get rid of these selfish lunatics... They hide behind a FAKE RELIGION... They are the sinners and the godless. No way this continues. Get UP America!!! #LFG!!!`

Public libraries are receiving a clear mandate from voters this November: when presented with the choice, communities are willing to invest in their information infrastructure, programming, and future. #EveryLibrary www.everylibrary.org/what_a_week_... via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Nothing says “man of the people” like adding gold trim and a shiny sign outside the Oval Office. Somewhere, Marie Antoinette is whispering, “tone it down.”

The main difference between Nazis and normal people is the total lack of empathy for others. Nazi propaganda brainwashes people to believe others are inferior, subhuman, evil, and not worthy of empathy. This is the necessary final step before brainwashed Nazis gleefully mass-murder others.

So many countries around the globe ensure their citizens have guaranteed health care. It doesn't break their economies. Perhaps these jerks on Capitol Hill and the Orange Monster should study how they do this. Start with the fact that those countries tax the monied peeps at an appropriate level.

Adding: the ways religion uses circular arguments to reaffirm privilege. "Those who were born with privilege, were endowed with it by God & deserve more. While those born with poverty, have it for a reason & deserve more." Even though inequality is man-made & perpetuated by corruption & greed.

President Trump's administration faces deadlines on Monday to tell two federal judges whether it will continue to fund SNAP, the nation's biggest food aid program, using contingency funds. n.pr/490aPMO

They’ll fight to force women to give birth, then shrug when 16 million children lose food. This is what “pro-life” really looks like.

🚨Our taxes paid for a security net to prevent this kind of nationwide hunger crisis and Trump unilaterally opted to deny using these designated funds. 1/2

Reminder: China didn't "take" manufacturing from the West. Countries allowed their businesses to move manufacturing to China. The businesses wanted to bypass pollution laws and impoverish the workforces of their own countries for profit, and bought-off politicians allowed it.

Tom: Worth noting that more than half of the Members of Congress are millionaires.

Low wages have not kept up with inflation

When Russia says “Bridge of Understanding,” read it as “Access Point.” The Bering Link isn’t about peace. It’s about proximity.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

LOL, he released fraudster George Santos before he released the Epstein files.
