Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Given what we're watching in Portland...

Here's information on attacking dictator-types with humor and mockery.

It's been branded "laughtivism."

And the Portland frog is showing how it works.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Why do we remain in a vibration that allows children to be shot in school? Or allows inequity to exist? What can we each do that would lift us from the vibration that allows that? What can I do to be the change I want to see in the world? What do you do to achieve that end?

Speaking of October, it’s the perfect time to talk about the Epstein files. They contain the names of America’s most powerful, richest, and morally vile men. I am now certain that speaker Johnson is in there because why else would he make such an ass of himself to cover up the truth

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has indicated that he wants to do something about [ACA subsidies], and he wants the government open. Well, we want this fixed and we want the government open. So why is there a problem here?"

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

If you’re wondering why institutions and people keep failing us, it’s because of capitalism.

Every decision is tied to money.

Will the company lose profits? Will the non-profit lose donors? Will you lose your livelihood?

We choose money, because money is survival.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”
