For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

CDC Changes Vaccine Safety Page to Promote Vaccine Misinformation It is the latest move by Robert Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services to attack vaccines.

The CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccinesβ€”namely that they cause autism.

The page links to a number of studies, including one by anti-vax allies of Robert Kennedy Jr.

Charlotte’s Latino shops weather Border Patrol raids: Rattled customers, empty lots A number of businesses have simply closed in Charlotte; it’s unclear when Border Patrol will leave the region.

β€œIt’s tough seeing my parents in such a difficult situation … Luckily, they do have their papers, but they’re still very scared to come out. They feel like ICE doesn’t care because of how they look, and they’ll get stopped, tense up and forget everything.”

A lot of times journalists ask questions that sound like simple, even seemingly dumb questions because you never know what answer you’re gonna get.

*Some journalists do also ask dumb questions

This is an extraordinary and contemptible attempt at pretending our transgender friends and family don’t exist. Or don’t deserve to exist.

Not me just wrapping a presentation on privacy by design that pointed to the EU as having better privacy law than us. <incomprehensible gargling sounds>

Elon Musk could make more than every elementary school teacher in the U.S. Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for the world’s richest person

The move that perfectly describes America under Trump: Elon Musk alone will make make more money than every elementary school teacher in the country, combined. Boundless avarice, as the pope says. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Tim Cook, the head of Apple, is having a nice dinner with MBS, who regularly orders executions, including for tweets.

Apple hosts "a Saudi app that allows men to track the movement of their wives and daughters. In 2019, Mr. Cook said he would investigate the app, but it is still available today."

GOP Rep. Salazar: "Talking about Charlotte -- 200 people in 48 hours were arrested. 70% of them did not have a criminal record according to DHS. That's a mistake ... do not touch the lady who has been here for 10, 20 years contributing to the economy ... that is why those people are protesting"

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.

The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. This is happening as immigration courts face a record backlog of cases.

Remember: it was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.
