A graph titled “the public health success of the measles vaccine” that shows the number of measles cases in the United States plummeting after the vaccine was introduced in 1963

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies:

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

The 7 Democrats who voted to fund Homeland Security amid ICE crackdowns

Reminder. Here are the House Democrats who crossed party lines and voted to fund ICE.

Law firm representing Renee Good's family releases findings from independent autopsy

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE

The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast

The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side

He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot

That’s murder

If the pastor of your church moonlights as a masked human-hunting bigot, your church is really just a klan rally with pews.

All the Things Named for Trump, and How Long Other Presidents Had to Wait In one highly self-referential year, he has broken with presidential norms on naming.

President Trump loves naming things after himself. But the namings occurring while the president is still in office makes him very unusual among U.S. presidents, who tend to wait for others to honor them after their time in office is done.

That one Ford worker has more guts than the totality of media right now

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

This message hits hard.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

I turned off the news for 1 day to give myself a break, and came back to this. wtf is going on now?

Let's call Trump's anti-Somali hate for what it is It's not "heated" or "divisive." It's Nazi stuff.
