I’ve seen a few people commenting today that the idea of separating the MMR vaccine into three separate shots might be a good strategy to get anti-vax parents to vaccinate. Absolutely not. Here’s why. First, countering anti-vax misinformation is like playing whack a mole. You bat down one lie…

Dear algorithm, I don’t care about the Beatles at all. Literally at all. And in general, I don’t appreciate how many bands of their era stole black musicians’ music (looking at you, Rolling Stones among many others). THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

As a reply guy I don’t think too many people read my posts, so probably shouting this into to ether, but LGBTQ folks in my life and online here, you are loved and cherished. Happy Pride Month.

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held. But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would l...

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

100% this.

Okay democratic congressional leadership. Show up. Why are you not standing in front of the Capitol to address the people? Do. Your. Job.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

“ICE, their secret police, is their tool,” said Michelle Brané, a human rights attorney who directed DHS’ ombudsman office under Biden. “Once they have that power, which they have now, there’s nothing stopping them from using it against citizens.” @davidmcswane.bsky.social @hannahallam.bsky.social

This is an insult to the American people.

This is insane. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

One of the best, succinct takes on GT.

The hatred of Greta Thunberg by a virulent core of middle-aged white men is a crystallisation of social media misogyny in general: It’s jealously combined with an inability to tolerate (or even understand) a woman in the public eye whose existence is defined by anything other than her sexuality.

Just so exhausted of “real America” consisting of a bunch of land and not people in the MSM’s presentation
