Important to remember that most if not all the antivaxxers you ever see or hear are vaccinated against things like measles. Their whole movement is forcing children to take the risks that they never do (because they think children are property)
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 2d agoUS child vaccination rates have plunged since before the pandemic, with kindergarten classrooms in more than 70% of counties now lacking herd immunity against measles.
Regular Reminder: Liberation movements must be in power!

Maine Senate hopeful Troy Jackson’s history is a case study of something the Left often discusses but rarely sees: a working-class politician who emerged from workplace organizing struggles and used his power to advance pro-worker policies.

The primary is now over. While there are still votes being counted, it’s clear who we will have as County Executive, Council, etc. What I am about to say comes from over two decades as an activist-organizer, a lay minister, and more importantly, as a black man from the working class.

Busy weekend campaigning across Montgomery County! Busy weekend campaigning across Montgomery County!
The FY 2027 budget strips essential services for the intellectually disabled by $125 Million Dollars, and mandates cuts as high as 40% for direct care staff. Wes and Aruna should be ashamed of themselves, but they are awash in special interest cash that directly benefit from these cuts.
Earlier this year, under enormous pressure from Governor Moore & Lt Gov Miller, the Maryland General Assembly sabotaged Disabilities Services in Maryland.
MAJOR NEWS! Our campaign got certified in record time for the public election fund. Over 300 grassroots donors in just 45 days. Time to deliver real change to MoCo. #YesWeKhan
STOP THE WOOTTON CLOSURE. Wootton belongs in Wootton. Families are being asked to accept the closure of a beloved high school because gov't failed to properly maintain, rehabilitate, & plan for its future. Students & parents should not pay the price for years of neglect. #SaveWootton #YesWeKhan
Whether we’re talking about Wootton, school modernization, or facilities planning, Montgomery County needs better communication between MCPS, the Board of Education, and County government. Students deserve stability. Parents deserve honesty. Taxpayers deserve accountability. #YesWeKhan
The warehouse controversy exposed a larger problem. Millions were committed. Renovations were needed. Critical funding was not secured. Residents deserve to know how that happened. (2/3)
OUR SCHOOLS DESERVE BETTER. Montgomery County families have spent months fighting over school closures, facility planning, safety concerns, and budget disputes. Parents deserve stability and a clear vision for the future. (1/3)
Good government doesn’t fear public scrutiny. Good government welcomes it. Residents deserve clear answers, open meetings, honest communication, and leaders willing to explain their decisions. (4/5)
Look at what’s happened recently: The Wootton closure fight. The MCPS warehouse controversy. Growing concerns about school safety. Repeated frustrations over transparency and accountability. People are asking a simple question: “Who is actually listening?” (3/5)
MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAS A TRUST PROBLEM. And pretending otherwise won’t fix it. (1/5)
HATE HAS NO PLACE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. Jewish families are facing rising antisemitism. Muslim families are facing rising Islamophobia. Both deserve to feel safe. No student should be afraid to go to school because of their faith. No family should fear harassment because of who they are. (1/2)
When families are worried about school cuts, public safety, and rising costs, leadership means being here. Showing up. Listening. Working. That’s the standard I will bring to County Council. #YesWeKhan
Montgomery County deserves representatives who are present, accessible, and focused on the work they were elected to do. Public service is a responsibility—not a networking opportunity. (2/3)
LEADERSHIP MEANS SHOWING UP. Budget season is when the most important decisions of the year are made. School funding. Public safety. Transportation. Taxes. This is when elected officials should be fully engaged. (1/3)
GOOD GOVERNMENT REQUIRES COMMUNICATION. "Government should spend more time solving problems and less time creating them. I will work with every agency, every stakeholder, and every partner to solve problems before they become emergencies." #YesWeKhan
