Trans rights are human rights. Abortion is healthcare. Science is real.

Note: "Deportation Judges," not immigration judges. No need to apply if you don't get the agenda.

The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools - Nature Communications The relative importance of close-proximity interactions, shared space and air quality to the transmission of respiratory viruses is not well understood. Here, the authors investigate this question by ...

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

β€žQuiet, Piggy!β€œ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
Itβ€˜s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

β€œWe’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Didn’t Trump say he’d lower grocery prices on day one? Instead he’s just starving people. While holding a party. What a failure both his presidencies have been, so much suffering, death and lives ruined, while a few grifters, liars and huge corporations become wildly and unnecessarily wealthy

Why would anyone ram their car at an ice agent’s rental? What would that do to help? ICE agents’ wild imaginings, projected as the truth, and that isn’t reality nor is it a valid defense for bad gun control on their part. You don’t get to shoot everything that moves just because you’re a pussy

Most enrollees would face even sharper increases in what they pay if the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits expire. This 26% is the increase in the amount insurers are charging, which in most cases is not what enrollees pay. 22 million out of 24 million marketplace enrollees currently receive a tax credit. The amount subsidized enrollees pay is not what insurers charge, but rather a sliding-scale share of their household income, based on a formula set by Congress. If Congress extends the enhanced tax credits, the amount subsidized enrollees pay each month will remain about the same, even though the amount insurers are charging is increasing sharply.

If the enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of this year, KFF estimates that currently subsidized enrollees will see their monthly premium payments more than double, increasing by about 114%, on average. This reflects people with incomes below four times the poverty level receiving less financial assistance and those with incomes over four times poverty no longer being eligible for financial assistance at all and therefore being hit by a double whammy of lost tax credit and higher insurer premiums.

Authoritarians pervert language and wield it as a weapon. They practice propaganda, disinformation, and the intentional corrosion of truth and meaning. They use it to stoke ethnic hatred. JD Vanceβ€”hamfistedly awkward though he isβ€”has clearly studied his authoritarian idols’ corruption of language.
