Anti-vaxxers often overlook that state public health agencies have authority to keep unvaccinated kids out of school during an infectious disease outbreak.

These are often the same people who said they were deeply concerned about children’s mental health during pandemic-related school closures.

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.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I put banned books in my little Free Library. I have been listening to the Velshi Banned Book Club and making sure these titles are mixed in. It was very enlightening when a woman stopped and didn’t know who Rachel Carson was and had no idea what DDT did. Change the world a book at a time.

from Thursday’s post, on the batshit White House ‘anti-antifa’ roundtable that featured Donny Convict, ICE Barbie, and a fetid fucktangle of MAGA halfwits and hangers-on.
you can read the whole thing in all its glory here: bit.ly/4mSP3Ol

Chris Wray — who had been appointed FBI director by Donny — had it exactly right. antifa isn’t an organization. it’s a belief — that fascism is bad.

pro tip: if you’re against the idea of antifascism, you’re on the wrong fucking side.

this is something that Pizzagate Jack and his buddies don’t seem to realize.
fast forward to today. Chris Wray is gone, replaced by Krazee-Eyes Kash. Donny no longer has adults in the room.

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

I wrote about the bizarrely credulous way the New York Times’ flagship podcast “The Daily” presented Russell Vought, how it is indicative of blind spots and fallacies that undermine the public response to Trumpism - and what we actually need to understand about this dangerous man:

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy.
