As @maddow.msnbc.com tells it, "Grandparents worried about their grandchildren's health are "doing something about it - something simple and direct and therefore also kind of radical."

I got this yt comment that said "You are dropping a lot of dog whistles about who is and who isn't welcome on your channel." This was 4 days ago but this comment has really dug into my brain. Do racists not expect to be uninvited from parties? Is this why racists get mad when you call them racist?

Re-upping this. \

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

They will eventually discover they’re wrong. Brecht’s “To Those Who Have Been Brought Into Line” tells us that those who think they can make this exchange and still be themselves so as not to lose their bread will eventually lose their bread. So our boycotts now are frankly doing them a favor.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

the children of 2060 are going to read about the "greatest comedian spawned during the fascist regime of the 2020s" and are going to look up the comedy stylings of Jimmy Kimmel. truly hilarious.

I’ve been meaning to watch this 4hr video from @acollierastro.bsky.social about #StarTrek #Picard for however long it’s been out (~1 yr?), and I think today is the day 🤩 youtu.be/MdLHKdn0JTY?... Join me, won’t you? I KNOW this is going to be fun 🤗 #TNG #StarTrekPicard #nerd #geek

My new favourite graph.

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

god all these people are such losers.

1/? People of a certain age will remember this. Phil Donahue interviewed Farrakhan. Mike Wallace interviewed Farrakhan. There was not a single murmur of cancelling their shows. Arsenio decided to interview Farrakhan and was told him if he did so, he would lose the Arsenio Hall Show.

interesting document from the united states government

Do 2024 Trump voters and non-voters see what he’s wrought—what they’ve wrought—in the last 8 months? He still gets too much benefit of the doubt. What will it take? More inflation, job loss, disease and death? Maybe a government shutdown? It's all coming. My latest open.substack.com/pub/jilllawr...

The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine. The chair broke the tie by voting NO. Prescriptions will NOT be required.

the human shaped robot people have found me again. their brains are riddled with malicious optimism. 'no the 375 lb roomba will fix me' they say.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Have you seen Dan Olson's excellent video on flat earthers? If you haven't you should! youtu.be/JTfhYyTuT44?...

apparently the flat earthers are still around. sincerely hope these people have someone in their lives to get them the help they need. it's hard to look at.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

It's good, folks

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

This is a disgusting, horrifying weaponization of the courts to continue the administration’s persecution of Mahmoud Khalil for free speech

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

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

capitulating to a fascist regime? it's not the done thing bingo.

"Debate Me" is the campus spinoff of anti-abortion sidewalk "counseling." It's using free speech as a shield to demand interaction without consent

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

trump take halloween themed body wash.

Important to note that CDC recommends HepB vaccination at biirth REGARDLESS of mother's infection status because the protective window is only ~12 hours, test results can be delayed or in error, vaccine protects infants when maternal status is unknown, and starting vaccine early improves adherence.

The damage from this Hep B change won't be visible for at least 1-2 years but by then it will be irreversible for those infants with liver failure. Kennedy won't care. None of them care. MAHA is pure eugenics.

John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave But his soul goes marching on

Dr Jacobs is doing a great job being a voice of reason in an absolutely ridiculous time.

I like to think that, maybe just a little bit, all these republican weirdos saw in real time that no one will mourn their deaths and got sad. It's like accidentally witnessing your own funeral.

Yes, ACIP will end hepatitis B vaccines for infants at birth today, and despite his speech about the importance of these vaccines yesterday, Bill Cassidy won’t do damned thing about it. This is from the ACIP page for their anticipated votes today. This will, as ever harm the most vulnerable.

the children will be so pissed.

Me from now on whenever someone mentions Dyson spheres

This sunk me

failing the 'stop bringing up nazis' challenge in new and creative ways over here:

craftsnark is one of the wildest places I have seen online. You will find a thread with hundreds of comments bashing some woman, her body, her knits, her personality....and then you go check out her YouTube and it's just some 26 year old lady sitting in a farmhouse making a striped sweater.

For those not following closely, the new American Girl of the Year doll is named Raquel Reyes and — BIG NEWS — she is Samantha Parkington’s great-great granddaughter.

Something I learned from being a scientist---when photographers show up they will say things like "Look through the telescope! Put on this lab coat! What if you all wore mismatched JCPenny fits and stood in a field!" And you need to smile and say no. Because that's the picture that will get posted.

monthly reset. fall haul. savory smores. picking up your severely asthmatic child from school early and rushing them to the CVS before the fascists make vaccines illegal. deinfluencing labubu. slow day. Trader Joe's. two separate lynchings happened in Mississippi yesterday. iPhone unboxing. SPENGA

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.

Health insurance providers real pissed about the years long hospital stay for all these babies this freak is going to give measles and polio to.

This is the only television I can find about what Bobby Jr. and his anti-vaxers are cooking up, with a real chance they will go after a core childhood vaccination.

i have so much hate in my heart
