In 1998 a paper by Andrew Wakefield linked vaccines to autism. The study was done on 12 children, all purported to be “normal before vaccination. Medical records revealed that 5/12 children had preexisting developmental delays. Those 12 children were picked to fit the narrative and there was 1/x
When German lawmakers warn about masked agents, families living in fear & children detained in the US,we should listen! Democracy doesn’t disappear overnight. It erodes when fear becomes normal &people fall silent! The world is watching! #KeepResisting #Democracy #AbolishICE #HumanRights #SheShed
Bill Cassidy , Thom Tillis , John Cornyn - all lame ducks wirh nothing to lose, could have killed Blanche's AG nomination. Caved, all. Cowards, all. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/07/u...
Bill Cassidy Will Back Todd Blanche as Attorney General, Salvaging His Confirmation (Gift Article)
The Louisiana senator said that, despite reservations, he would back President Trump’s pick for attorney general, giving Republicans enough votes for a majority.

🚨NEW: Todd Blanche’s new order rescinds the May 18 Anti-Weaponization Fund—but quietly leaves the May 19 IRS immunity settlement intact. Instead of rescinding it, the accompanying memo reaffirms DOJ’s interpretation, arguing the immunity applies only retroactively and only to the parties involved.1/
Exactly 3 months from today is the most important midterm election in our lifetime. Our opportunity to hold him accountable. Register to vote here: Iwillvote.com The stakes have never been higher. Show the world the majority of Americans are good, decent, honest people. #VoteBlue🗳️ #RejectMAGA 👎
Isn’t it strange watching a bunch of billionaire-supported and insulated dunderheads who know absolutely nothing about how the real world works pretending to know more about science and the scientific method grill a brilliant scientist who has spent his life studying infectious disease? 1/
This has got to stop. Democrats’ last action before Republicans closed up shop for the summer was to force a vote on another war powers resolution to stop Trump, and we got enough support to pass it. The American people have spoken. Congress has spoken. End this senseless war now.
Get your tissues ready. Here is a video from our friend and hero #MajorJasonWatson. He is deeply grateful for all the donations made to his legal fund @defendersofourrepublic.org #DOOR I am also extremely grateful for all the support we have received here from our Bluesky family
@govandybeshear.bsky.social Please look into the situation with Mitch McConnell. This shroud of secrecy is unacceptable. Is he dead? Is he being kept alive by artificial means? The people of this country - and especially those in Kentucky - have a right to know.
@cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com Please explain why Mitch McConnell’s virtual disappearance after being found unconscious and receiving CPR, followed by his wife leaving the country three days later is not headline news? A longstanding member of Congress has vanished and no info has been 1/x
As the Fourth approaches it's been tough to feel enthused about it. Then two honorable men stepped up and showed that spirit that made this nation still survives. Thank you Jack Smith and Major Jason Watson. I will celebrate your courage and patriotism.
I’m sad to see Dan Goldman lose his seat in Congress. I think joining @marcelias.bsky.social in fighting the convicted felon in the Oval would be a great next move.
Just a reminder, if you deface the Reflecting Pool you will be arrested…. Oops wrong picture
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday. Best quote I’ve heard today was from Rod Brind’Amour during the Carolina Hurricanes celebration today. “We need something to be happy about.” Amen and boy howdy!
Every paycheck, we paid in. Every retiree deserves to collect without fear. Politicians: keep your hands off the Social Security trust fund! Share if you agree seniors deserve security. #HandsOffSocialSecurity
Paul Krugman is right: there is nothing “inevitable” about Social Security cuts. The crisis is political, not mathematical. Corrupt Republicans took new revenue off the table so they can force benefit cuts onto workers. Don’t swallow the gaslighting. #HandsOffSocialSecurity
I’m so very happy for my Carolina Hurricanes!! They worked so darned hard all year. They really earned Lord Stanley’s Cup!! ❤️🏒🥅
The SCOTUS majority is an ideological wrecking ball. It ignores its own past decisions so it can speed the erasure of Black people’s power and our #votingrights. It ignores that race discrimination remains real. This is a metaphorical civil war and the Roberts Court started it.

And the most pathetic and disgusting part is that they would.
Can we please kick TX out of the country? Let them wallow in their own criminal lust and leave the rest of us alone.
