The truth about the safety and efficacy of vaccines is not novel or sexy, even if they are the greatest achievement ever in disease prevention.

A conspiracy theory about vaccines, OTOH? That will get some traction.

This is why social media companies have a duty to fight misinformation.

Broadcasting vet of 20 yrs-inconsequential positions but I lived it. Clinton's Telecommunications act 1996 all put an end to the dignified portion of popular media outlets. The fact that FB has never been held responsible for the disgusting decimination of misinformation and hate still makes sick

This is really embarrassing. Trump grabbed some giant blown-up chart to explain how great he thinks the economy is, clearly has no idea what the chart says, and just shows it off to the press like an idiot. Imagine if Joe Biden did this. The guy has no clue what's going on around him.

We are negotiating with a murderous dictator.

Our admin is allowing him in our country.

We cannot be this.

Trump’s Pick to Lead the IRS Flaunts Dubious Tax Credential Earned in Just Three Days Former Missouri congressman Billy Long, tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Internal Revenue Service, is promoting a tax credential that experts say is virtually meaningless β€” and ea…

🚨 Trump’s nominee to run the IRS, ex-Rep. Billy Long, touts himself as a β€œcertified tax and business advisor.” But here’s the catch β€” the title comes from a three-day seminar run by a little-known firm. Tax experts say they’ve never heard of it… and the questions don’t stop there.

So, apparently, Christian Nationalists would rather a child be raped by Donald Trump at Epstein's mansion than get a free lunch at a public school. #priorities

The Trump Regime is desperately trying to distract from Epstein by breaking all norms and abusing its power to go after Democrats, judges and now Letitia James.

Still won't work.

Just ask Arizona how well school vouchers have worked out. The money flows to the wealthy and has created severe funding shortages in the state.

Please read this from FCC Commissioner @agomezfcc.bsky.social to understand what is about to happen at CBS. The network’s content will now be fully-controlled by the Trump Administration.

I think a lot of Americans believe their country is the one they learned about in school. They haven’t grasped the fact that it’s well on the way to becoming a Christofascist dictatorship.

The social media accounts for federal law enforcement agencies keep posting the exact kinds of things you'd report to federal law enforcement agencies if a normal citizen posted them.

Shabbat shalom. May a miracle happen here to stop Netanyahu, Trump, Putin, and all the other monsters from creating a living hell on earth for so many.

Why are US elected officials still supporting this criminal Israeli regime and sending our taxpayer dollars to help its occupation of Gaza?

Trump can make a phone call to Netanyahu and end this. But he won't.

Turnabout is fair play. Anti-vaxxers are the Pharma shills.

Thanks their success in undermining trust in vaccines, drug companies are now gleefully exploiting declining vaccination coverage to develop measles treatments and profit from dangerously sick infants and children.

"I hope this is not the last interview, that there are many more, so that everyone realizes that here there is a Venezuelan who loves the United States." After what we did to him, Andry HernΓ‘ndez Romero can still say that.

"Either their long-term game is there won't be free elections or we'll fix the election or we'll steal it or gerrymander it, or they're perfectly prepared for someone who they disagree with to be able to use those same tools at some point in the future."

A woman went to a hospital at NIH for medical care and didn’t have Real ID. She was detained by ICE after staff reported her.
