A display from the State Capital of two childrens desks, candles, their notebooks, photos, sign says "Outside ar the empty desks of MN children lost to gun violence. Here are two of them. Fletcher's Desk, Harper's desk.

Went to a lobby day today a the MN State Capital where you walk by some desks from children who were killed during the Annunciation School shooting. Very sobering, at the least.

We need a clear justification to go to war. We haven’t gotten it.

First it was because of Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Then it was to stop the buildup of Iran’s defenses. The newest line is we attacked because Israel was going to and Iran would retaliate against us anyways.

Love the sign so much.

2025 measles resurgence carries estimated $244 million price tag

Vaccine prevented an estimated 85,000 deaths in 3 decades
The researchers conclude that continued erosion of MMR coverage threatens to reverse decades of progress against measles and will impose rapidly escalating health and economic costs if not reversed www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/2025...

Got a cab near the Department of Education. Hadn’t seen the Charlie Kirk banner before.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

The US has also pulled funding from the Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network which is run by WHO. It helps identify measles cases globally and prevent travel related transmission. Measles is extremely contagious and can easily jump countries via international travel.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

Hard to argue

"One year of failure." The Lancet slams RFK Jr.'s first year as health chief In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Please don't post photos of dead children, or videos of dead children, or yell DONT LOOK AWAY. You are sick. Log off. Touch grass. You have PTSD and are inflicting it on us all. If you are not in media/ a conflict researcher/ etc you do NOT need to consume Horrors. Blocking lots right now.

I love this dude- used to follow him on FB before I deleted my account. Wish he would post on blue sky

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social: "I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is."

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

The world is full of wolves. Be ready to fight for the things that are important to you.

Why it's a bit surprising that the U.S. is attending a key global flu meeting After the U.S. withdrew from the World Health Organization, it wasn't clear they would participate in this WHO-led meeting to determine the recipe for the next flu vaccine.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

We absolutely should root out fraud – and there are a lot of ways to do it that DON’T involve throwing a giant wrench in the health care of seniors, people with disabilities and kids.

This isn’t one of those ways.

Please call Senator Bill Cassidy‘s office to demand he not vote to confirm this proposed new surgeon general. She does not meet the minimum qualifications and is openly an anti-VAXer. Children are going to die for fucks sake. He epically failed in voting for RFK Jr. He knows better!

Action needed! The Senate HELP Committee is holding a hearing today! Casey Means is unqualified to serve as U.S. Surgeon General and must be rejected by the Senate. She is a “health influencer,” not board certified in anything & not licensed to practice medicine. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

When I saw how they carried her away from her car, with her arms, overextended backwards, I felt ill. Have had shoulder issues all my life, and if someone carried me like that, I would probably pass out.
