I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

As Inflation Soars, Argentina Trades Beef for Donkey Meat
As real wages buy 30% less meat, non-traditional proteins emerge as a controversial survival strategy. Argentina is still dealing with a challenging inflationary environment in the first half of 2026....

Almost 30,000 pounds of raw, frozen beef imported from Argentina has been recalled after being sold in Florida and Texas. Good luck, everyone.

Democratic DAs in any jurisdiction where death from measles occurs need to charge RFK, Jr. with manslaughter.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · yesterdayThe US has now hit 2,777 confirmed measles cases, per the CDC. That is the most in a year in 35 years. And it’s August.
We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
Don’t let a single Republican, especially the president, get away with offering their condolences.

For those of you that haven't read it, Chapter 10 of Project 2025 was literally about creating food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production. No, we weren't overreacting to Project 2025.
From the official DHS account. Doesn’t get much more un-American than this. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention.
Trump has made baseless claims that mail-in voting is “cheating,” “corrupt,” and “horrible.” During his bonkers primetime address in July he claimed, without evidence, that “mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt.” Utter horseshit. There is zero evidence of widespread fraud. Meanwhile...
This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

EXCLUSIVE: DHS Refuses to Release Email Justifying Warrantless Entry by ICE
I sued to obtain the General Counsel Memo justifying ICE entering homes without judicial warrants. Turns out it’s not a memo at all - it’s an email - and they’ve wrongly redacted it.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
