I'm *so* not perfect, politically or otherwise. That said, this = my online home, so act like you got some hometraining. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all opinions are my own, not a representation of any employer.

Pastor shot in the head by ICE agents sues over First Amendment threats David Black joins journalists and protesters in lawsuit to stop β€˜pattern of extreme brutality’ from federal agents

Paging white Chicago suburbanites who didn't vote for Harris:

We're gonna need you to hop on the L with your signs and bullhorns and get yourself down to where the ICE agents are. You made this mess - now step up.

Support our campaign to oppose MAGA extremism

Trump promised oil & gas American oligarchs massive tax breaks, increased drilling rights & zero regulation when each donated $1M to his campaign. Our planet is definitely getting screwed over. Push back! Urge your senators to unify in opposition.

White people literally created the concept of race and racism, but then wanna be mad when we create solidarity within that and want to separate ourselves from the danger of their existence.

Hilarious. The oppressors mad when they can’t completely ruin the oppressed.

CDC Immunization Schedule Adopts Individual-Based Decision-Making for COVID-19 and Standalone Vaccination for Chickenpox in Toddlers
  
ATLANTAβ€”October 6, 2025β€” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today updated its adult and child immunization schedules to apply individual-based decision-making to COVID-19 vaccination and recommend that toddlers receive protection from varicella (chickenpox) as a standalone immunization rather than in combination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination.The immunization schedules adopt recent recommendations by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which were approved last week by Acting Director of the CDC and Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill. The schedules will be updated on CDC.gov by October 7, 2025.

The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines.

While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.
