Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.

But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.

They are still worth getting.

Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

If the Republican position is "Republicans should get away with committing crimes in public office" and the Democrat position is "Republicans should get away with committing crimes in public office" then the result will be that Republicans keep getting away with committing crimes in public office
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus:

“We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense.

“It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.

“The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”

it is true that trump sucks and is shitty, but it is also true that he is incredibly susceptible to the jangling of keys, and it is wild that no democrat until Mamdani has figured this out
the democrats not having a single idea how to play the world's biggest and most suggestible egomaniac is yet another reason they belong on the scrap heap of history
It’s cool that Zohran was able to find common ground with Trump on material issues of affordability while the rest of the Democratic Party has only found common ground with him on hating and harming trans people.

Respect for Jasper. Of all the fact-checkers I’ve dealt with from the press, the New Yorker’s are the most thorough and dogged.
Last week, Condé Nast fired four staffers, including Jasper Lo, a senior fact checker at The New Yorker, in an act of illegal union-busting. Join us tomorrow at 6pm to demand that the company reverse this unjust and unlawful decision.

At the Vatican today to meet with Pope Leo XIV to discuss the horror of Ukrainian kids kidnapped by Russia. Will also be joined by Ukrainian families who have experienced this firsthand.

Some of the billionaires involved with Jeffrey Epstein actually paid him to help them avoid billions in taxes.

Seriously, look up Leon Black.

The wealthy and powerful people in the Epstein files have warped our economy and rigged our system for long enough.

Not a criticism of Mamdani in particular, but as long as we allow massively funded, heavily armed right-wing paramilitaries to have veto power over every aspect of public policy, it will be impossible to enact even the most basic social democratic reforms that a lot of liberals say they want.
Before his election, Mamdani was adamant: The CCRB should get final say in NYPD discplinary cases. Now, after retaining Tisch as NYPD commish, Mamdani's changing his tune, saying he's mainly focused on ensuring CCRB's "recommendations" are "taken seriously." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/20/m...
Mamdani softens hard line on role of NYPD watchdog in discipline after Tisch agrees to stay on
in the wake of announcing Wednesday that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch will stay in her post under his administration, Mayor-elect Mamdani took a step back.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

Some of y'all reply to stuff with things I wouldn't say to people I actually knew well. I have to wonder - is it because you don't think of the person you're replying to as a full and real human? Is it just intense parasocial behavior? Or are y'all just that weird and rude always?

A Chinese immigrant named
Chaofeng Ge died in ICE custody.

He was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind him in the “hog tie” position.

Deaths within these camps continue to rise, with more people dying in the last nine months than in the entire previous four years.

The dumbest, stupidest, funniest part of this administration is that Kimmel getting to come back after a massive public pressure campaign folded Disney like a lawn chair is basically the exact moment Trump's authoritarian project failed.
I'd go as far as to say they mistook the (rightfully) notorious complacency of American institutions for an early total victory.

All citizens should be inherently hostile toward all politicians. They work FOR us but they have power OVER us too. There should be no friendship or loyalty there. But people hate one "side" so much they'll excuse outright evil on their "side," as if it's not all the same billionaires paying them

People seem to have already forgotten this. The coke vs pepsi reduction of politics has rendered us a morally listless society. The shit I see people let Democrats get away with, just because they "aren't Republicans."
Like that was part of why MeToo was destroyed before it even got going.

Because the establishment pick for dem 2020 was credibly accused of rape. So MeToo had to go.
