You know what angers me when we’re discussing vaccines?
The hubris of some American parents’ and their stance towards proven, safe vaccines.
There are hundreds of millions of ppl living in developing nations who would love to secure access to life saving vaccines, while others sit in judgement.
Oops. I’m usually better about that.
Because it’s essentially us killing the Palestinians. We give Israel weapons and we protect them from the consequences of their actions. We’re locked into a toxic relationship in which we have no control over them, because they know we won’t abandon them.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
