Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

Measles is NOT "just like chickenpox". It can kill years later. This woman was so brave for coming forward with her story.

Riding the NYC subway with my extremely smiley firstborn was a great way to witness the inherent goodness of humanity. I remember a very tough looking gentleman shaking his head and muttering “I guess I’m having a good day today“ after my infant son beamed at him

Mike Nellis @MikeNellis "I'M NO LONGER CATHOLIC!" Hannity ABANDONS HIS FAITH for Trump NELLIS X.com • +*+

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

Trump, IRS In Talks To Settle U.S. President's $10 Billion Lawsuit Trump's adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization are also plaintiffs.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.

I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Everything about these jagoffs screams Cartman "you will respect my authoritah!"

How can the way a tree branches reveal its history — when the branches aren’t there anymore??

“Celebrating the First Amendment” my ass.

people will scold you for joking around when things seem really scary and fucked up. brother, those are the times what we invented joking around for

bad public transit and car-centric infrastructure are a national security risk

‘For leftist Jews, the Bund is a model’: the radical history behind one of Europe’s biggest socialist movements A new book by Molly Crabapple documents the rise and fall of a revolutionary Jewish party that fought against Zionism and for ‘solidarity across difference’

As the Bundists knew, “it’s either solidarity across difference or savagery.”

A must-read from @mollycrabapple.bsky.social

Black anarchism in the US: A rich, radical tradition “The prison facility itself is maximum security, but society is just an extension; it's a minimum-security prison. And that [radical insight] is at the core of Black anarchism.”

Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration Budget proposal would also curb federal payments for scientific publishing.

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.

It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.

A photo of a stack of books decorated with multicolored spring clip art: several flowers, a plant sprout, a butterfly, and a worm reading a book. Text reads "Spring Cleaning Sale."

Spring has sprung, and we’re having a Spring Cleaning Sale. From now through next weekend, everything on our site is 30% off—with some discontinued titles (and soft goods) discounted up to 50%. Head over to akpress.org now to browse the sale. Stickers and solidarity are always free!

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

There’s “problematic”… and then there’s this.

A federal judge just greenlit a move to extract a list of Jews from Penn.

History is screaming right now‼️

Disabled people are intentionally underresourced and denied services by eugenicist public policy designed to limit expenses by allowing people to die, even if there's great suffering in the process.

ICE says it provides 'proper meals.' Detainees see crystalized jelly, rancid beans and iced bologna In the business of immigration detention, researchers say, "bad food is the business model."

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

apparently there are drawbacks to the "why don't we just call our army Death Bringers and our troops War Fighters and kill everyone we see while our Secretary of War poses with seventeen sparklers up his ass and recites Vogon poetry in appreciation of the act of murder" philosophy of foreign affairs

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

Our grassroots movement forced every power — from AIPAC to the establishment — to use their entire arsenal, just to barely beat us.

Our loss today merely makes the path easier for the next person who runs. It’s an honor to be able to clear that path.

God DAMN it.

This guy, instead of Kat Abughazaleh.

Fuck.

As someone who's had to deal with an extreme narcissist his whole life, seeing the cycle of "Act without empathy --> Fuck up royally in a way you can not fix but dig deeper anyway --> get mad at everyone who won't help you" play out on a geopolitical scale is fucking wild

Each infection however seemingly mild can still lead to blood clots or heart damage. People are suffering heart damage in every wave. #Covidisvascular

Tired of seeing the press saying people are recovering from long covid but omitting to mention the ones who have covid lung or heart or kidney damage or autoimmune disease from COVID or vascular problems and now have pacemakers.
