It took 40 years for the US to sustain a continuous vaccination effort to eliminate measles in 2000. Once this spirals out of control and other states follow, our immunity thresholds will not hold for the general population. It will take decades to fix this then. If ever.

This move in Florida will kill people. It's the most bizarre thing. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in your body?...Your body is a gift from God." How can you not see vaccines as a good? A "gift"? They've saved billions of lives. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Art saves.

Trump is an adjudicated rapist and over 25 women have come forward with details of abuse. He was named in lawsuits related to Epstein that were later dropped. Some of these women may have been assaulted by Trump. Is the GOP truly this blind?

Donald Trump never should have made it to the White House and every hour that felon and his lawlessness remains is both and insult and danger to the American people. Get him out. And GOP, snap the hell out of your cultish, power vapid delusions.

This is very much worth a read. ‘In rare interviews with NBC News, a dozen federal judges — appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents, including Trump, and serving around the country — pointed to a pattern they say has recently emerged: Lower court judges are handed

For anyone who thinks this is a good idea. You dont understand what America was like for most people in the gilded age. What Trump is trying to recreate. This proposal is dangerously nostalgic for an economic model. It fueled the extreme inequality of the Gilded Age. While it's

So many things getting lost in our daily destruction, but the erosion of education, investment in research and development, science, infrastructure... the Biden administration made big moves, but we're twenty years behind (on many fronts) and ignorant to what this all means.

Reading about infrastructure development in China and Japan and thinking about news in Seattle that a single light rail line expansion is going to take another 15 years... And the persistent note that half of Americans are basically illiterate, stuck at a 6th grade reading level.

Worth a reminder... Hegseth fired all of the Pentagon chief lawyers, the judge advocate generals, his first week...and closed the Pentagon's Office of Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response (CHMR). The lawyers are particularly important because they would have said no to this.

When you live here, you get posts like this. And you can see the conditions on the water. Fogginess. Foggy soup.

This morning, DR Congo reported a new Ebola outbreak. In the past 6 months, the U.S. has torn down almost all of its programs focused on disease surveillance and response abroad. As of last month, "there is no one left in the White House whose sole job is to keep the nation

Somebody, anybody that he might still listen to, tell DJT that Putin isn't his friend. It's so deeply pathological, desperately grasping, the needing to feel loved, but somebody that might still have a hold on his flickering brain, before it's all lost, make him understand.

I'm sorry, launch all these people into the sun.

No skills, no experience, and reprehensible. Quite the club.

So far, far from home now.

The phrase... "No American jurisdiction should be involuntarily subject to military occupation". What a time...

Congress, the Republican Congress, needs to snap out of the cult thrall and end this. Enough.

There are hundreds of thousands of properties already upside down like this. Locally, if that beach place you or your parents bought with the idea you'd hand it down but it's flooding at almost every king tide+storm--you just haven't caught up yet.

CDC data systems are showing that COVID-19 is on the rise. Wastewater levels increasing, ER visits increasing, and Rt (a statistic that tells you if the epidemic is growing or not) indicates growth of COVID activity. A wave is coming. Will CDC’s vaccine advisors act to get us
