153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when we ignore the science.

When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back.

The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

"LET HIM SPEAK!"

9" x 12" ink and watercolor on watercolor paper.

Somewhere, in the Deep reaches of space, an assembly has gathered on a space station. During a heated discussion on the design and capabilities of mecha, Isamu Kurogane (Lance) stands tall and dares to speak the truth. "Every Gundam is worse than Voltron because his hands are lion mouths!!!" he declares without shame. His bravado has impressed the Red Comet, Char Aznable, while confusing and insulting Amuro Ray. The delaration is heard to mixed reactions by many other mecha pilots (not by Shinji Ikari, he is doing his best to ignore him).

I wonder if all the Portland protesters could sing Baby Shark on repeat … that might just be enough to drive the ICE agents away.

I love that a shark has joined the resistance!

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Nice of the Nobel committee to give a boost to Trump’s war plans in Latin America instead of honoring the Sumud Flotilla.

U.S. political institutions have done an incredible job of training people to have the lowest expectations, and to expect everyone else to do the same.

No. We want it all, as is our birthright. That's why trans people scare them -- we refuse their bad bargain and take destiny into our own hands.

Are we as trans people safe on here @moderation.bsky.app @jay.bsky.team ?

The answer is obviously no so why don't you just actually fucking say it instead of hiding critics' posts and banning their accounts?

Because you're a bunch of cowardly bitches
