I think John Scalzi wrote a book about this

Vaccines have had proven success eradicating lethal & devastating childhood infectious diseases, saving millions of lives. This movement against immunization is widening health disparities & threatening public health. Ignorance is deadly. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

The most difficult moments, Monarez said, were when Kennedy disparaged CDC staff: “He called . . . CDC the most corrupt federal agency in the world, emphasized that CDC employees were horrible people. . . . He said that CDC employees were killing children and they don’t care.”

Ya'll need to start breaking down the propaganda to the hyperlocal level. Baltimore is taking on Atlas, a restaurant enterprise in the David Smith family business. He is connected to Fox 45 and Sinclair. Boycott Atlas, Baltimore! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

I’d never seen this one.

SCHUMER: This is the path to a dictatorship. That's what dictatorships do. BASH: You heard the president over & over on the campaign trail saying that he was going to do just this, that he was going to investigate his political enemies. And he won the election! SCHUMER: He ran on many other issues

Today at the Broadview detention facility, federal agents unleashed severe violence on people protesting, and engaged in actions endangering people on the scene. Read NLG Chicago's full statement:

There is a hierarchy of scientific evidence. You can find a one off study that says anything. But high quality studies have shown COVID vaccines to be safe.

Amid President Trump’s immigration deportation campaign, the loved ones of those detained have been arriving at the Broadview ICE facility desperate for information — only to be turned away with few answers.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Today, thousands of activists are descending on #WashingtonDC in defence of the #USConstitution @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social hears why from @weareamericamarch.bsky.social podfollow.com/byline-times...

The idea that “the civil rights act was a mistake” is a mainstream conservative position we can only tolerate but “defund the police” is a great cancer that must be excised from America for Democrats to win is the actual reason Democrats lose. Sorry.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

Censorship never stops with just one book, one newspaper, one person. The end goal of censorship is always complete control. For Christ's sake, Kimmel just showed a video of the President's own words. Stop capitulating. It will never save you in the end.

Drinking water fluoridation is widely heralded as a public health triumph since it was pioneered 80 years ago in Grand Rapids. While once largely on the fringes, fluoridation skeptics now hold sway in government, and their arguments have seeped into the mainstream. @annaleighclark.bsky.social

I'm a fan of @sarahz.bsky.social generally, but her video on this subject is particularly good. Gremlins like Kirk, Shapiro, etc. equivocate between our vernacular idea of debate (arguing, "owning") and the kind of formal, structured debate that actually merits oxygen. youtu.be/VcHPmVxtFw8?...

As always,

More and more, I fear Christianity in the US is a hopelessly nihilistic death cult.

I am seeing a lot of people say things like "Oh well a member HAS to vote for something bad because the leader said so" Folks. In our Congress, every member votes for themselves. Hakeem Jeffries can scream at whomever he wants till he is blue in the face but he cannot change their votes.

At a time when Western powers are increasingly wavering on their int'l commitments, the Aral sea crisis is understood as a way for China to “(uphold) the principles of ‘science without borders,’” with the implication that Western countries have abandoned this task. globalvoices.org/2025/09/17/c...

#BREAKING: President Trump has issued a statement commending ABC for suspending "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and urging NBC to do the same with "The Tonight Show" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers."

Our politicians don't have a voter base any longer. They have fans. Fans aren't the same thing as well informed voters. Being a fan...is easy...and lazy as hell.

Charlie Kirk was not killed by a trans person. Despite the right's desperate attempts at blaming LGBTQ+ people for his death to incite more violence towards them - this is once again a cis white male shooter from a MAGA family. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-JK...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.
