Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money! Happy Thanksgiving!

Third Kentucky infant dies from whooping cough as statewide cases surge A third Kentucky infant has died from whooping cough in the last 12 months, the Kentucky Department for Public Health said Monday.

A baby died of whooping cough in Kentucky… it’s the third child death from the disease in the past 12 months.

Measles and whooping cough are highly preventable with vaccination.

Sadly none of the children or their mothers were vaccinated.

One more example of the harm being wrought by RFK Jr

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.


The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

David Sirota @davidsirota · 1h 🚨NEWS: Exxon is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to grant corporations a new First Amendment right to avoid disclosing how much toxic pollution they are spewing and how much they are incinerating the atmosphere that supports all life on the planet. Corporations Say It's Their First Amendment Right To Hide. Corporations are asking the Supreme Court to help them dismantle a groundbreaking California transparency law requiring emissions disclosure.

Pardon my French, but this shit really pisses me off.

"Men are in trouble, is the solution making them a problem for women and children too"

Pregnant women need to be informed about and protected from SARS-CoV-2 infections.

The attack on women continues! This administration wants you at home, pregnant, broke and stupid.

I haven't heard anything from American architects about Trump removing their Professional designation. In the UK it took me nine years to get my professional accreditation, which I still have. It's incredibly hard won. There's exams! You've got to study law. It's a Thing.

People seem to have loved finding the tiny owl in my photo below👇🏼. Would you like more of these photos here? PS She’s an Edwardian silver charm, around 100 years old.

The moment when Democrats delivered healthcare to more than 30 Million additional American citizens. Healthcare is a human right.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Downgrading women's profession to trades, occupations or "just jobs" gets to the root of systemic misogyny. Sure, it's funny to joke about male insecurity but they aren't insecure. They are furious because they've lost power over women. It's costly them money. Abusing us too is just icing for them.

Mark my words, teaching will be next.

The regime is targeting loans for traditionally female occupations.

People having babies right now are braver than the troops. My kids are teens and I'm not sure what I'd do if I was facing the prospect of having to give birth and raise young children amid the dismantling of the medical system *and* the department of education *at the same time.*

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.

I liked this movie

I'll be the first to admit knowing very little about medical sciences, but god damn from the outside looking in, mRNA tech seems like actual magic

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

What can we use to counter the unfair advantages of generational wealth? Generational debt someone suggested meekly.

“Have we tried immiserating two generations instead of just one?”

“Brilliant, write that down; write that down!”

i wish i could have been in the room when they were brainstorming how to solve the housing crisis and someone raised their hand and said "what about 50 year mortgages?"
