This is just straight up incorrect. “Lagacé-Wiens said that unlike with COVID-19…masks do little to protect someone from contracting it.”
Respirators (masks designed to block airborne pathogens) are incredibly effective against measles. Why is CBC publishing easily disproven nonsense?
Interesting how CBC alludes, in a backhanded way, to the efficacy of masks against covid: "Measles can stay in the environment hours after an infected person has been in a space, and Lagacé-Wiens said that unlike with COVID-19, physical distancing or masks do little to protect someone from

With the number of measles cases in Manitoba swelling, experts caution those who aren't vaccinated for the disease to stay away from large public gatherings until the outbreak settles down.

I’m asking ICE to curl up and die like a salted slug.

I’m asking for everyone who directed them to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison.

And I’m asking for every quisling Democrat to walk the earth with ceaseless and unavoidable scorn.

Those are my demands.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Massie indicated today that he may read the names of Epstein’s redacted co-conspirators on the floor of the House or in Committee.

If he does so, he will be protected from prosecution and/or lawsuits (like defamation) by the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution.

These guys know what’s up.

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments.

For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.

PSA. The people asking for disabled poor people to "share" their experiences for their orgs to collect & use are not doing so out of the goodness of their hearts. Your experiences and insights have value - including monetary value. They get grants & build careers out of your suffering.

Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.

The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

Should they reply
to you telling them
that Olympians
are still taking precautions
by pointing out that you
are not an Olympian,
reply that like an Olympian
you too are competing
in a historic event,
and when they ask what it is,
tell them: it’s called the
surviving the pandemic.

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

Excess deaths have gone up verifiably since the pandemic started. Yeah. No one is saying that people didn't get sick prior to the pandemic. No one is saying people didn't die prior to the pandemic. We are verifiably stating that you all have normalized mass death since the pandemic started

Concentration camps. Literally.

Start using the correct language NOW.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I want more of this from more people more of the time.

I think for example, showing that some athletes are taking precautions around the Olympics is encouraging public health messaging.

OMG. THIS THIS THIS. Someone just told me that the reason this shit happened is because the perpetrators are ugly... which is reductive af and demonizes "ugliness."

RAPE IS ABOUT POWER, SPECIFICALLY DOMINATION.
(Abuse of power)
Don't scapegoat sexual abuse on the right or on billionaires. People are trying to use Epstein to act like where they are looks good in comparison. It doesn't. Rape is being allowed there too. We have to solve the whole problem.

genuinely like the most important takeaway from the whole Epstein saga is that there was no group of people with any degree of power (or desire for power) who were morally above it. it's left, right center, it's politics and royalty, it's higher ed, art and science research, no one's hands are clean

The best source of information on trafficking is from survivors who have LITERALLY ALREADY SPOKEN UP ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES.
Oh my gods I cannot stress this enough, get your information on trafficking from sex worker friendly trafficking survivor run orgs.

The evangelical misogynistic trafficking org that calls the police on strippers and exploits survivors for money is not your go to news source on the Epstein files.
