it's cool how every day there's a news story about the CDC changing vaccine recommendations and it's right next to a news story about how a kid died from a disease that last killed in 1893 but any reporter that tries to connect the two gets fired by a venture capitalist for taking up ad space

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

this shit is just beyond parody, man

In the Upside Down (again):
Trump/Hegseth blow up *alleged* drug smugglers in fishing boats, yet pardons *convicted* former Honduran prez Juan Orlando Hernández — who conspired w/drug cartels that sent 400 tons of cocaine to the United States.

MORE after the jump.

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.

When you hear guys like Stephen Miller joke "there goes the neighborhood" because minorities have entered their community, understand that they don't WANT ethnic groups to assimilate

That's why racial covenants prohibiting people from selling to these people-including Jews-were legal until 1968

I too had to explain who Jack White was. They DID know who Eminem was though

Today watching football I had to explain who both Jack White and Post Malone were to my parents. The former was harder to do because I already explained to them who Jack White was in 2005

Never doubt the power of poetry~

This is a damn important thing to remember. It’s all well & good to avoid Black Friday from a place of comfort, or a place of ethics, which I applaud, but for folks taking advantage of sales to get things they need? No shame, only solidarity in working for better wages & quality of living for all.

It’s Time To Scrap Zimbabwe’s Outdated Abortion Law - Molokele ⋆ Pindula News Hwange Central MP Daniel Molokele (CCC) has called for the repeal of the 1977 Termination of Pregnancy Act, describing it as one of the most backward laws in Zimbabwe. Molokele made the comments at a ...

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

This is not good news

I wrote about the beautiful TRAIN DREAMS, and how one change from its source material turns the film into a timely argument against complicity, inaction, and ignoring crimes done to our neighbors, esp. when they look different from us. SPOILERS. @vulture.com:

DOGE employees are not immune from prosecution and that includes Musk.

That is all.

DOGE May Be Dead, But Its Crimes Live On A now-abolished agency that never was did a remarkable amount of damage—including, surprisingly, to the budget deficit.

My obit for DOGE points out that in the end it didn’t even save money. It did kill 430,000 children, though. If the goal was to eliminate foreigners, DOGE was a stunning success. About 64 expired for every AID employee fired or placed on administrative leave.

So, DOGE, What Would You Say You Did Here? An exit interview

Before DOGE, systems meant to serve millions of people were being run by a few harried employees using outdated systems. And now, after DOGE, they are being run by even fewer, even more harried employees on those same outdated systems!

You’re probably on to something.
Hillary winning would have altered the trajectory of this country.

👀 The unstable *sshole in the WH is about to start a war w/Venezuela, declaring a cartel a terrorist org. Rand Paul is sounding the alarm.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.

Yes this is a good point, going from Stephen Miller to Mamdani would be like emerging from the sewer in Shawshank

Zohran did his homework, he’s smart, he knows what to do.
If you make him look good, smile, praise him, the world is your oyster.
He knew Trump would get aroused at talk of housing construction in NYC. His family biz. Dangle $$.
Simple.
Now, everyone has a book on Trump.

“The Department of Education said what now? Nursing is ‘no longer a professional degree’? Tell that to the nurses who kept this country alive while half of Washington was playing political cosplay.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything intelligent to say right now because I am so fucking angry
