Question for the far right
Why do societies with strong public institutions tend to be freer, healthier, and more stable?

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak.
I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

Missing my grandma who used to stop everything she was doing if she heard someone criticize vaccines because so many of her childhood friends slowly disappeared after they got polio, and ask people if “surviving” polio was really a positive outcome or if they had no idea what they were talking about
This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.
Medicare for all.

A baby died of whooping cough in Kentucky… it’s the third child death from the disease in the past 12 months.
Measles and whooping cough are highly preventable with vaccination.
Sadly none of the children or their mothers were vaccinated.
