They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Opinion | I knew the pain of apartheid. How dare Trump embrace Afrikaners as refugees. If the Episcopal Church had agreed to resettle South African Boers, then it would have elevated a lie that will affect refugee resettlement for years to come.

Naomi Tutu, daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu (and an Episcopal priest herself) fully addresses the lie at the heart of the claim of that white South Africans are “refugees.” Amplify her voice.

One under-the-radar thing that happened this session was Republican Senators Lowe & Taylor killing an @votebobfreeman @campbell4tn.bsky.social bill to allow teen rape victims access to exams without parental consent.

It had passed the house unanimously.

We know EXACTLY what’s in vaccines – because we put it there Vaccine scientists and regulatory agencies know exactly what is in vaccines and why, no matter what anti-vaccine activists try to claim.

Ask us biomedical scientists if you have questions. Not conspiracy theorists. Not wellness grifters.

And read the article I wrote below

on HOW & WHY we know everything involved in research, development, & manufacture of vaccines:

Can’t say the same for unregulated supplements!

🧵

Cell lines are frozen banks of identical cells that we can grow over & over.
They’re used for different experiment types.
Some cells came from a biopsy of a fetus DECADES ago.

It’s *not* fetal tissue.
It’s *not* in vaccines.
A fetus wasn’t aborted *for* them.

If you don’t understand biomedical research, the claim that “fetal tissue” is in vaccines may sound scary.

But it’s a lie.
The reality?

ALL biological research uses cell lines.

this is batshit

When we met last week, this was one of our direct asks of @booker.senate.gov! Thank you, Sen. Booker, for amplifying the voices of your constituents!

I am tired of people who claim Christ being the most self-satisfied and power hungry among us or at best, feckless. The White American Christian Church is a hollow institution that has no witness to respect.

History will not be kind to us and rightfully so. We can look back at the Holocaust and the Civil Rights movement and arrogantly believe that we would stand up for justice during those times. But in reality, what we do now is what we would do then.

And if you can’t get anyone on the phone, send an email to your senators. 👇

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Trump thinks Zelenskyy needs to be nicer to Putin, the criminal who invaded his country unprovoked and killed hundreds of thousands of people for no good reason. Incredible.

Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME. 

Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. 

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. 

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

YouTube video by NBC News Watch Zelenskyy's Full Address To Congress

Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower.

Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Truer words… No matter how much evidence you have to back up the safety and efficacy of a thing, if you light up their amygdalas, game over. Maybe we need nationwide EMDR therapy.

My little Gen X heart was so happy and it was especially a balm to those of us living in a mid-sized town in a red state. Thank you so much @talibkweli.bsky.social

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre.

Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.

Excited!
