From NBC News:
153 measles infected kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

If this continues, We will likely lose our official measles elimination status.

This is the outcome of antivax rhetoric.

A grim milestone: U.S. is on the cusp of losing its official measles elimination status

We have had the ability to prevent nearly all cases of measles for more than 60 years. Yet the number of cases keeps growing.

Michigan friends, Michigan citizens, please fight this. For yourselves, and so it doesn't become a model for the rest of the states.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

Your anxiety is lying to you because it needs you to survive. Feed yourself the truth. You know the difference between your truth and your self-enabling thoughts.

Be weird. Have fun with your kinks. Be accepting within reason. Support small creators. And when these corporate entities try to break into our space, show them the fucking door. You deserve better than the sterile slop they're peddling.

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.
