So many people say, “Let the MAHA drink raw milk,” without thinking that they will give raw milk to children who have no volition or ability to give consent to something potentially fatal. The same people who want to let “red” states suffer. Unbridled cruelty and lack of compassion.

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

The UN says the famine in Gaza is “entirely man-made” and “could be halted & reversed.”

Trump is supposedly a “tough guy.”

Well, it’s time for him to have the guts to stand up to Netanyahu and stop sending billions in U.S. tax dollars to Israel to starve children.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Aug 22

At least half a million people in Gaza City and the surrounding territory are officially suffering from famine, a global group of experts announced, nearly two years into an unrelenting war in which Israel has blocked most food and other aid from entering the Gaza Strip. nyti.ms/4fOZPmP

John Deere announced that it will lay off over 200 workers, citing the economic uncertainty created by Trump's tariffs.

Workers aren't just paying more for everyday goods now because of tariffs, their jobs are also on the line.

It's a recipe for a bigger economic disaster.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

All of you are smart and creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT. You might need practice, you might need another person to bounce ideas off of (plenty of online places to do that) but you are definitely creative enough to think of ideas without this.

Victims of the Texas floods are still dealing with the wreckage and waiting on more assistance from the state government.

What have Texas Republicans been prioritizing?

Gerrymandering the state's U.S. Congressional maps ahead of schedule because Trump asked them to.
