BREAKING: Trump's wealthy cabinet nominees and transition officials are worth a combined $313 BILLION.

That's 616x higher than the mean wealth of the typical American household.

This is how you build a system that only works for the wealthy and their corporations.

Super pic of you to go with it - more optimistic and less somber than the Evening Standard! We could do with a bit more joy in the world tbh
Thanks, Colin!

I legit think the cynical promotion of this this is one of the most brazen acts of public evil I’ve ever seen because there is *no tradeoff* in any way that counts, there’s no complicated externality, it’s just fucking letting people, mainly children die for the hell of it.
Routine childhood vaccination rates have been declining precipitously in recent years.

The MMR vaccine is one of the most important. Today 14 states have an MMR vaccination rate for kindergartners of less than 90%. In 2019, just 3 did.

I voted a week ago—and it felt good! (Waited an hour! During early voting!)

Go vote!
