I think it's nice that the president's most trusted aide is the It's All For You Damien nurse from The Omen. She's qualified and she's doing an amazing job.

No. Oprah became a billionaire spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories over 25 years that helped lay the early groundwork for MAHA. I don’t care if she didn’t realize it at the time, and we have reason to believe she didn’t believe all of it.
Williams.@rowlandville.bsky.social · 3d agoShe was a talk show host. Not a legislator. Just a talk show host. And odds are that she believed much of it at the time. My point: let it go.
Nonmedical exemptions for childhood vaccination should be banned in every state in the U.S. instead of just in 4 or 5.
Splitting three vaccines into one was a key part of Wakefield's grift back in the day, and wasn't motivated by science or health or caring about children, but by the fact that he had a financial interest in the single vaccines and wanted to sell them. That's the basis. Not health. Money.
I am not a physician, but for parents who have kids close to the 12 month mark and/or the 4 year mark, might want to have a chat with your pediatrician about getting either the first or second MMR a little early if allowed.
Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · 2w agoBREAKING — Trump is planning to sign an executive order today that calls for spacing out childhood vaccines, breaking the MMR into three separate shots and making other key vaccine changes. @lenasun.bsky.social @rachelroubein.bsky.social

To make an understatement: this is really bad

It's a choice the media repeatedly makes to platform and legitimize - even cheerlead - anti Muslim bigotry in a way they would never platform or legitimize similarly open anti black or anti Jewish bigotry
josh boerman@bosh.worstpossible.world · 2w agothe media in this country treats bigotry coming from a place of fear as a valid public position. eventually this leads you to the ludicrous place where “the muslim mayor of new york city shouldn’t attend the 25th anniversary commemoration of 9/11” is treated as newsworthy opinion
"why do elder millenials think 9/11 was a big deal anyway" might be the stupidest take i have ever seen online
So today my severely Celiac kid had gluten containing food shoved against her mouth as a “joke” by her supposed friend at camp. Part of me: the kid is only 8 and needs education Also part of me: I am fucking filing assault charges against this kid.
as someone who doesn't even like Hasan Piker, please understand that you sound like a maniac when you call him a terrorist or the undoing of the party.
Good and important messaging, but it is striking how Muslim candidates are repeatedly defamed as “terrorists” and then have to turn around and issue such statements when there is no similar expectation that Christian or Jewish candidates need to do the same for their Muslim-American constituents.

he ran against the full force of the zionist establishment and won. unbelievable victory
There is a very narrow type of atheist that needs to hear this but When someone is talking about "the insidious muslim take over" it's really not the time for you to air out your problems with all religions. You are just siding with racists.
Just saw the Minions move. In theaters. Never let my children say I didn’t sacrifice for them.
Friends, please tell me this is clickbait. How am I supposed to raise my children without the pervasive sickness of diet culture when shit like this (pun not intended) is going on?

Absolutely this. I don’t trust anyone who’s transphobic to be reliable on sexual orientation, sexism, race, poverty etc etc etc more than I could throw them.
Natalie (the) Harp(y)🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🦀@nattygo.me · 3w agoGiven how transphobia is the thin edge of the culture war wedge - with homophobia and misogyny and racism coming in behind it - it would behoove cis people of good will to pay attention
pretty tired to islamophobia being an acceptable form of racism and I humbly suggest it should stop

man I cannot overemphasize how many people I know fell into some form of madness because they could not accept that their kid got an autism diagnosis and that maybe that was just how life was going to be

This post got a lot of traction on Twitter, and it's driving me nuts because this IS what "trans activists" have been saying for years and years. It's impossible to have a discussion on this topic when people refuse to acknowledge what one side is actually arguing.
when I say things like establishment democrats don’t have real beliefs, I’m talking about things like an alleged opposition to racism that accommodates … this

I wonder if the person who originally called the Madison Police about a Black dude on a bike supposedly “checking cars” feels safer now that he’s dead? People need to be much more careful about calling police, especially about a person of caller. It too often leads to an extrajudicial execution.
