The fact that Melon Musk is seriously butthurt about this means that we absolutely have to repost it, continuously.

Given news of Canada's lost measles-elimination status, it seemed Γ  propos to circulate this 2022 article from McGill Journal of Law and Health 15(1). In it I argue that parental right to refuse routine childhood vaccination is not well grounded in moral theory or law.

POLITICO: β€œ.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and β€˜the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

So what's up? Here’s my take 🧡

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schoolsβ€”told staff they had β€œparental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Deonandan: Cancelling funding for mRNA vaccine is both risky and foolish The current fear is that bird flu, H5N1, will become the next big pandemic. Only the mRNA platform is nimble enough to respond quickly.

Why we should care about the measles outbreaks:

-In wealthy countries, 0.1%-0.2% of measles cases result in death
-In poorer countries or populations, up to 10% of cases will die
-15-30% of measles cases will require hospitalization

Many of you might know me as a former Secretary of Labor. Or from my TikToks. But my true passion is teaching.

When I decided to retire, I wanted to do it quietly. Instead, my colleagues at Inequality Media Civic Action decided to make a film about my last class.Β  https://www.thelastclassfilm.com/

Welcome to the β€˜torture chamber’: Internal document offers window into Conservatives’ strategy for parliamentary committees An internal Conservative party strategy document viewed by the Star shows how the party uses parliamentary committee meetings to maximize social media exposure and advance its political narratives.

As someone who spent several years working for many parliamentary committees, this story is profoundly depressing. At their best, committees are the engine rooms of our democracy. Conservatives’ naked contempt for committees reflects a contempt for democracy itself.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
