WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.

No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.

The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

More Americans doubt vaccine safety than trust it, POLITICO Poll finds Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s views are commonplace across the land.

Misinformation is a formidable force.

46% of US adults surveyed last month signaled that they think the science on vaccines remains “up for debate” & is damaging to require people to get them.

We have an HHS secretary who likes to chop off rodent genitalia.

Tax Day is a reminder of America’s unequal tax system. But we can fix it | Zohran Mamdani, Gabriel Zucman and Joseph Stiglitz There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us

He Compared a Black Child to a Dog and Withheld Evidence in Death Row Cases. Now He’s Running for Judge. Holland, who once compared a Black child to a dog, has had a career mired in controversy. That hasn’t stopped him from becoming the de facto frontrunner of his judicial race.

Civil rights leaders and defense attorneys say they believe Holland lacks regards for the rights of Black defendants.

“He’s demonstrated that he is untrustworthy, unreserved in his aggression and without any judicial temperament,” one attorney said.

We can all learn a lot from the (many young!) people of Hungary who have protested peacefully for years and who turned out in high numbers to vote their candidate and his party into power tonight!
And this despite the fact that Orbán had backing from BOTH Russia and the USA!
Well done, Hungary!! ✨

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Hungarian opposition ousts Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power Péter Magyar’s Tisza party wins election as prime minister concedes defeat, in result likely to reshape ties with EU

Thrilled to see Hungary’s voters throw out the loathsome illiberal authoritarian Orban. Here’s hoping this spells the end of the global anti-rights movement and hope for everyone who believes all people deserve dignity

People need to understand how bad, how devastating, how unjustified Israel’s bombardment of Beirut is — it’s not just yet another of the strikes that have become routinized. Catastrophic civilian harm and human suffering that simply must not be shrugged off as normal and forgotten. Stop the madness.

So great to see this happen at last!! We depend on delivery drivers and they deserve some safety and dignity at work
