Where do I put my sadness?
If only I could scatter it like a handful of millet and feed the resident bluebirds, and watch it fly away. --Austin L. Church

![This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters.
Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sox6xar4qdc3ujhi5h4whtlh/bafkreiazjyxk6foryp6lzxcqbls62uaokwhjrjmnzg5uqpdimg77xrt26a)

After Citizens United is it even possible for the DNC to stop collecting the big bags of money? 🤑 It's so baked in now that I'm not sure it is. BTW, Kamala raise $1BILLION in 3 months -- where did it all go?
Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
Also, shifting resources from the collective good (in a federal program) to an individual (recipient) drives individualism further and undermines society as a whole.
So, no. No I would not consider the details.
Who is deciding who is and isn't qualified?
