people who do not believe in abortion, mind you, because in their words it's "murder," find it perfectly ok to torture a newborn to death because of their violently ridiculous and unfounded fears. fears they learned in their fash churches or by being on fucking social media.

NEW: As more parents reject a long-standard shot for babies, hospitals are seeing cases of vitamin K deficiency bleeding — once considered virtually eliminated. Doctors don’t always recognize or know how to treat the life-threatening condition.

RFK Jr.’s articles of impeachment don’t need to be all fancy. All you need is this horribly accurate yet tragic quote: “It’s hard for the CDC [under Kennedy] to give a full-throated endorsement of vaccines.” Done and dusted.

U.S. set to lose measles-free status thanks to another communicable disease: minsinformation.

At a meeting this week, CDC staffers and public health groups agreed vaccines must be a major part of containing measles. How will the agency respond under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

This is one of the possibilities I’m most excited about today. Imagine presidential elections being won by the popular vote. 2000, 2016: both have completely different outcomes. If we for sure get these state houses, let’s pressure them into more democratic elections!!!

There are now enough states with Dem trifectas to pass the interstate compact on the national popular vote. The end of the Electoral college may be upon us.

One of the huge effects of the blue takeover of state government in Texas is that the state is a huge buyer of academic materials and conservatives have used that leverage to feed garbage to their schoolchildren for years. That can start to be undone now.

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work." NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.

So many of us are holding our breath today for Mississippi because we know that we would not be where we were if it were not for Black Mississippi’s struggle and its brilliance. And I want this joy for them. And this rest for the Ancestors.

It's time to let generative AI companies go bankrupt, rip them out of our systems, and absorb any financial blow now rather than worse, in all ways, later. Saving jobs and the environment is good for the economy. Also, it's stupid shit created by theft.
