In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.
Second Amendment for me but not for thee.
People need to understand what's happening today: Trump sent the FBI to investigate one of his most prominent critics, and then threatened to military occupy multiple US cities.
He's trying to become a full dictator who makes it illegal to oppose him.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.
(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)

What national security cases are these folks not working now? Organized crime, counter intelligence, corporate crime, child abuse?
"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
Priorities. Meanwhile, low income kids are losing their funding for school lunch. More starving kids, but at least we are getting rid of all the immigrants...
A D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer—who was attacked while defending the Capitol building on January 6—noted that the troops Trump has stationed in D.C. are not exactly cut out for the job.

Foreign nationals applying for student and exchange visitors visas will be asked to set their social media profiles to public, and the U.S. State Department said failure to do so would raise red flags.
A majority of supporters of Donald Trump are against US military involvement in Israel’s conflict with Iran, a poll published Wednesday found.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway
Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.

It’s so crazy that climate deniers think humans don’t cause climate change but volcanos eruptions do.
The eruption of Mount St. Helens released ~10 Mt of CO₂ into the atmosphere.
Human activities currently release that amount of CO₂ in ~2 hours.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Economic uncertainty, shifting gender roles, and a crisis of purpose have left young men vulnerable to far-right "alpha-male" influencers. @oliviajulianna.bsky.social explores the new era of online extremism, how we got here & how to change course.
Safety researchers claim Elon Musk’s auto company has a long history of potentially misleading stats. Now it looks like DOGE is following suit.
Trump's science denial, racism and sexism will trigger a brain drain that weakens the United States. MAGA is trashing our leading role in the world to wallow in greed and ignorance.
Anti DEI comes for the disabled now...
Trump’s Agriculture Department has halted hundreds of millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks without explanation.
