For what it is worth, I have also submitted a letter to the editor to the New York Times.

I doubt it gets published, they rarely ever publish trans journalists on this topic.

South Carolina seeks non-CDC reinforcements to contain growing measles outbreak A dozen public health experts are arriving in South Carolina to help the state contain the largest U.S. measles outbreak in more than 30 years, but they're not coming from the Centers for Disease Cont...

South Carolina has requested urgent assistance with handling the measles outbreak there.

They did not request it from RFK Jr.’s moribund CDC, but rather the CDC Foundation, which is a nonprofit that is independent of the U.S. government.

RFK Jr. continues to do NOTHING about this outbreak.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files.

This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

NASHVILLE β€” ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

"Doing your own research" doesn't mean finding an influencer you like to agree with your worldview.

Actual research follows the scientific method of data gathering and analysis of which READING is a critical part. If there's one thing we know a LOT of ppl don't like to do, it's read!

Elizabeth Warren on CNBC: "The point that no one is fighting over is that the American family paid for Donald Trump's illegal tariffs. And when you take money from people illegally, you gotta give it back."

Tellingly, Johnson is once again facing a revolt from the women in his party about Gonzales. And they aren't RINOs: They're hardcore MAGA folks like Nancy Mace, Anna Paulina Luna and Lauren Boebert. He can't dismiss them.

A number of months ago, many Americans onlineβ€”myself includedβ€”began telling foreign nationals to stop coming to the United States (for now) for their own safety. The events described below are exactly why.

Stay away from America, friends. Don't come here.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Most ppl are not getting their yearly vaccinations that every single major medical institution has told us all to get every yr since 2021.

~17% of adults & less than 9% of children for 2025-2026.

That is horrible.

Are they masking when sick & in healthcare facilities w/out being made to?
Also no.

Saw this post this morning from NBC4 (local station).

Then I was out shoveling snow and my neighbor approached me to ask if I was okay, because apparently yesterday afternoon someone had spent some time screaming anti-Queer slurs at my house (while I was away). No wonder my pets were upset!
