The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified schoolchildren, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance—what happened to basic human decency?" Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

The post reads: "Donald Trump and Elon Musk have frozen funding for federal programs that provide support and sustenance to dozens of millions of older adults and people with disabilities, including Meals on Wheels." Below the post, there is an image of an older woman smiling at a younger woman who is facing her, with a caption that reads: "Agency for older adults, people with disabilities to be..."

Pay attention to who he is hurting most with these cuts.

A screenshot of a post on X by David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod , 11h ago): "How do you give a major defense contractor, who does business in China, access to Top Secret contingency planning for war with CHINA? It’s such an obvious, audacious and egregious conflict of interest, it takes your breath away." The account has a blue checkmark.

This is the most dangerous and stupid moves of them all to date.

Mundus sine caesaribus

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

Refusing to hold town halls because you can't face your own voters is a form of 'taxation without representation'

A tweet from Anton Gerashchenko featuring a quote attributed to French President Emmanuel Macron. The quote states that Vladimir Putin is responsible for starting the war three years ago and for bringing 10,000 North Korean soldiers to Europe. Below the quote, there is a still image from a video of Macron speaking, with subtitles and an "EXCLUSIVO RTP" watermark.

Macron is quite correct.

Says it all.

It’s astounding how few people ever seem to call him on his bs but now we have a cult instigated by Putin and paid for by Peter Thiel and Musk.

Thought and prayer

A tweet from Anonymous ( @YourAnonNews ). The tweet includes an image of a cartoon dinosaur wearing a red "TRUMP 45-47" cap, standing on a rocky landscape with a fiery meteor descending in the sky. Another smaller dinosaur is visible in the background. The dinosaur with the cap has a speech bubble saying, "Haha! That’s really going to hurt the liberals!"

Accurate.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Actor Mara Wilson Perfectly Blasts Trump Over His Order Banning Trans Women In Female Sports Where's the lie?

Exactly, Mara! 👏

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

A resignation letter from UCSF's Jack L. Turban, MD MHS, to NCAA President Charles D. Baker, dated February 6, 2025. Turban resigns from the CSMAS committee, disagreeing with the NCAA's decision to ban trans women from women's sports, citing lack of medical/scientific consensus and political motivation. He thanks the committee for their work but criticizes the decision's basis.

This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

We really are though.

Post from '@quadcarl_carl' reads, "They're eating the checks. They're eating the balances"

I hear this in reggae.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

I taught middle school kids for years…they struggle with impulsivity and regulating their emotions. The prefrontal cortex, is the last part of the brain to mature.

Every time I have an interaction with an adult Trumper, I’m reminded of those kids. Trumpers often struggle with underformed brains…

A screenshot of two X posts in a thread. The first post is by 'Will Stancil' and reads: "Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say 'We’re destroying DEI, we’re salting the earth underneath it' and they’re repealing regulations that reach back to 1965, they’re not talking about corporate diversity trainings. They are talking about civil rights." The second post is by 'Christopher F. Rufo' and includes a GIF of a muscular man with slicked-back hair, smiling confidently.

It’s out in the open and they admit it now.

Trump executive order declaring only ‘two sexes’ gets the biology wrong, scientists say Trump executive order declaring two sexes defies decades of research into how human bodies grow and develop

This article explains why "only 2 genders" is fucking stupid. #Biology and #Anatomy disagree. No law can change science. #Science doesn't care about your dumb bigoted feelings
