HUGE new study of >1.2 million kids looked to see if the aluminium contained was associated with a number of childhood conditions.

Long story short: NO association with ANY of them.

The tiny amount of aluminium in vaccines is safe. #Vaccineswork

Another idea is that if you say the word "blockchain" then regulators will get confused, traditional securities laws won't apply, and you'll be able to sell financial assets - private-company stock, real estate, etc. - without complying with the US Securities and Exchange Commission's registration and disclosure requirements.

The period of time where being pregnant in public or breastfeeding in public was taboo is, in the scheme of human history, incredibly short and limited in scope, and I for one am not going to engage with it.

Once again pointing out that you don't actually have to like a victim to denounce sexual abuse. The idea that women must be likable has cost women promotions, the presidency, & accountability for abuse. If you only believe victims & denounce abuse if you like them, you endorse sexual abuse as a tool

Exactly. I'm surprised at how few people seem to understand this.

HHS backtracks on pledge to disclose new vaccine advisers’ conflicts of interest RFK Jr. has pledged radical transparency, but his vaccine advisers' financial disclosures aren't public.

Actions mean more than words.

And the fact that the new COI rules are not being applied to the new hand-picked Advisory Council on Immunization Practices, speaks volumes.

Dear Followers, finally Bluesky restored my other account, lost for months: @tedgreiner.bsky.social. That's where I was posting about everything not related to breastfeeding. If you are interested in left-wing politics and not breastfeeding, do switch over!

I agree. Lost my phone in February at the outset of a long trip overseas and Bluesky sent an email months ago saying they'd look into it when they got time. Yahoo helpless. Facebook unable to recover my account despite my sending them passport photos. Twice.

From Food Aid to Dog Chow? How Trump’s Cuts Hurt Kansas Farmers.

The Republicans no longer have to do anything to get the vote. After Trump hurt them the first time, 80% of Kansas farmers voted for him again anyway. Now facing bankruptcy, some say changing your vote is like changing your religion. Enjoy the poor house, MAGA voters

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.

It’s. All. Lies.

All the time.

Americans have been duped.

Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy.

That’s how you make America great.

It's hard to understand how the big right wing brains behind P2025 thought that firing the experts needed to predict weather and issue warnings was going to reduce mention of climate change, thus benefiting their beloved non-renewable energy industry. Though much of the media obey in advance now.
