Sad how physicians who've been professionally sanctioned for misinformation and malpractice become martyrs for the anti-vaccine movement so that they can make more money and target people with even more harmful propaganda.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.
Want to know why?
Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.
Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

AND YET... when writing formally I cannot help but re phrasing whole sentences to avoid handing a preposition off the end of a sentence.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Schools are reopening in Ukraine for the start of the new academic year. The return on Monday marks the fourth year since children began studying under the shadow of Russia’s invasion — and schools have found ways to keep lessons going and safe despite the war.

Israel says hundreds of truckloads of aid are waiting for pickup on Gaza's border for the U.N. to distribute. But the U.N. says it’s unable to bring in enough aid to Palestinians as it is hindered by Israeli military restrictions and a breakdown of security.
