The anti-vax elephant in the room is that if 99% of children ARE vaccinated: your child can be unvaccinated & there's no one to spread it to her.
It's exceptionalism. Non-vaccinated children REQUIRE the safety of mass vaccination.
Each new anti-vax convert destroys the illusion of that safety. 1/

Why?
To pay for trillions in tax handouts to the wealthy.

Less than two weeks after Pope Francis's passing, the man who is the poster child for the Seven Deadly Sins posted a picture of himself depicting him as the Pope.
This is not only offensive to millions of Catholics but is a stark insight into the mind of a deeply disturbed individual.
Appalling.

As an absolutely out-of-control clinical narcissist Trump believes he deserves all titles, and is incapable of understanding respect or reverence. The more noise people make about this, the more controversy, the more convinced he will become that he SHOULD be Pope. Blow this up!

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.
This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.
We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
