Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

the “find a cure for autism” millions of dollars industry has been built on the backs of telling mothers they’re the reason their kid is autistic since at least the 1940s sometimes that industry kills autistic children, even today

Siri, what decades were the Magdalene Laundries and the Canadian State Schools and the American State Homes for mentally disabled in operation –?

This is bullshit ad copy, and whoever wrote this should be ashamed.

Hey, Dem pundits: toning down the rhetoric on my son’s right to exist will NOT make them like us. They never will My son should not have to sacrifice his rights or “take one for the team”. If you were only as brave as my son…

The news media calls transphobes "anti-trans activists", which is kind of like calling the Klan "anti-Black activists". It's a very sanitizing phrase, used quite deliberately.

The cis media can't ever talk about trans issues without distorting the truth, it seems. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

I'm actually probably gonna restart this thread because a lot has changed and I'm battling really bad exhaustion rn. The Vampire is still looking for a forever home in LA County! She's still doing well, she's still cute as heck, and I hope to have nicer pix of her soon.

How does Erika Kirk square this with CK's shameful record of open and blatant racism, transphobia and antisemitism? Was it "love" that made him declare Black people intellectually inferior? Was it "love" that made him libel trans people as inherently violent? Or say Jewish money "ruins" culture?

what’s gonna be sad to see is the spike of reye syndrome in all the granola eugenics anti-vax moms’ kids after they get hardcore into aspirin as panacea. “it’s naturally occurring! people used to chew willow bark, so i just fill my kids up with aspirin after a chickenpox sleepover! nature’s way!”

Has there ever been a four-hour funeral spectacular for the victims of school shootings? 🤔

California Labor showed up BIG this weekend to talk to voters in every corner of the state about the importance of voting YES on Prop 50!

I refused to placate the bully. Then I refused to placate the institutions who placated the bully. Then I refused to placate the shills who placate the institutions who placate the bully. I'm still standing; the rest are down. Never placate the bully.

Covid and flu together. The line was long at my CVS, and everyone was hating on RFK Jr. It was cathartic. But in California we like science.

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

The US is not one or two election cycles away from being OK even if they’re blowouts.

Closing down a city to host a state funeral for a podcaster, every day is weirder than the last

Women Liberal Democrats have these bags on their stands

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Gotta say I’m not a big fan of 2 Jim Crow 2 Furious

Someone assassinates a sitting Democratic politician, it's a brief blurb in the news. Someone assassinates a hateful racist transphobe, it becomes THE international news story for weeks. We have a "right-wing news media". The "liberal news media" is a sick myth. bsky.app/profile/tvmo...

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

I'd say that RFK Jr. can kiss my autistic ass, but he's not worthy to touch it. Fuck this guy. I'm quite happy to be autistic, thanks. And tylenol didn't make me autistic. This is, as usual, quackery. bsky.app/profile/susa...

Fevers are dangerous early in pregnancy and Tylenol is the only fever reducer pregnant people are supposed to take. In this freak’s mind, having a baby with congenital anomalies incompatible with life is *less bad* than having a child with autism

And a reminder of a large (2.5M) sibling control analysis that found "no evidence of increased risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability associated with acetaminophen use." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

As always, the answer is racism. Specifically, that insidious strain of genteel racism in which certain white "moderates" and "liberals" somehow convince themselves not only that racism isn't THAT big of a problem, but also that they're actually not just conservatives. bsky.app/profile/goth...

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT AN 80% SUCCESS RATE IN MEDICINE MEANS???

Trans people are not a threat to women’s safety. Over 52,000 women have signed the open letter to say not in our name. Will you join them? notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Step 1: Orchestrate Afghanistan’s demise following Doha Step 2: Have Kabul fall under Biden Step 3: Campaign on an end to forever wars Step 4: … wait, go back to Afghanistan? Step 5: ???? Profit, the fuck if I know how

Also note the language used: "catch and release". Racists talk about human beings like people talk about nonhuman animals ("trap and release"). bsky.app/profile/reic...

Aujourd’hui, le Canada reconnaît l’État de Palestine. Ma déclaration : www.pm.gc.ca/fr/nouvelles...

So regularly destroyed is trans stuff that it's an obscure fact that 2 words beginning with trans (transfeminate and transection) were in English dictionaries to describe someone who 'changed sex' from the mid 1600s until well into the 20th century.

thinking about big rice

okay so the uk is recognising palestine as a nation and the un has declared israel's actions as genocidal, when do we release the grannies and retired doctors who said "I oppose genocide I support palestine action" now that they've been proven to be absolutely justified
