For the sake of humanity, let’s hope this will be a lasting and permanent ceasefire. While this is a hopeful step, we must demand accountability for every war crime committed during this genocide and continue to call for an end to the occupation.

Among the many reasons we need competent PH officials: a listeria outbreak has killed 4.

Now officials think 2 additional ready-to-eat meals contain contaminated spinach, but are not related to the ongoing outbreak.

Translation: competing listeria outbreaks.

What to know about the listeria outbreak tied to precooked pasta

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Ken Paxton’s plan

“How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?" is a reaction image commonly used to respond to users pretending to be part of a community that they are clearly unfamiliar with. The image features the actor Steve Buscemi dressed youthfully and holding a skateboard, and is usually subtitled with the tagline. The image is often photoshopped to adapt to a particular subculture, and the phrase is often used in conversation without the image. It’s edited to include random trans symbols including a trans Texas saying “y’all means all” and a badge that says “fuck the cis stem” and a trans hat with the hammer and sickle symbol.

Text reads: How do you do fellow transgenders

There is no evidence that breaking up the MMR shot would make the immunization safer or more effective.

The reason why the acting CDC director wants to separate the MMR shot is to discourage people from getting vaccinated by creating larger hurdles.

@HHS_Jim
Thank you
@POTUS
for your leadership.

I call on vaccine manufacturers to develop safe monovalent vaccines to replace the combined MMR and “break up the MMR shot into three totally separate shots.”

The Great Barrington Dec. aka the “let covid rip” policy, legitimated the death of over a million Americans, is disabling of tens of millions more, & failed to achieve its own instrumental goal, ending the pandemic. It did succeed hwvr in gutting public health & eroding public trust in science

Five years ago today, we authored the Great Barrington Declaration, arguing for focused protection instead of lockdowns. A wholehearted thank you to the almost one million co-signers. We were proven right.
