Why is NPR holding back here? We all know what’s happening. They haven’t been subtle about it. You can just say what you see happening with your own eyes without turning it into a both sides article

I wholeheartedly second this! Go get the HPV vaxx! I finished my set of shots 4 years ago (got them at Planned Parenthood!). The age limit is 45 now, so if you're a Millennial who missed out on the vaxx when you were younger, there's still time!

Fatphobia is not an internet own. It’s punching down. There’s a fucking plethora of fascism to choose from. Trump being fat is irrelevant to all of it.

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?

Relevant to this concern: A polymarket user named "Magamyman" made more than half a million dollars with a last-minute bet on the demise of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Which makes it seem highly likely that the bet was made with some kind of insider knowledge.

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

A second round of layoffs hit WGN-Ch. 9 this week, with three creative services employees getting the ax Wednesday, including Debbie Brockman, the producer whose aggressive detainment by ICE agents in October became a symbol of urban enforcement clashes.

We are currently obsessed with these at my house. I’m at the point where they may be the only thing getting me to the end of February.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

β€œSo, in conclusion, the Cybertruck is far more dangerous (by volume) than the historic poster child for corporate greed and grossly antagonistic design [the Ford Pinto].”

When I was teaching and wanted out of a conversation where a student was being a bit too much, I would respond with β€œThat’s neat” and then change the subject or redirect them.

Thanks to resistance by ordinary citizens, the Trump administration has been denied 11 detention warehouses β€” that's roughly 35,000 beds.

6 potential sites remain: Port Allen, LA; Chester, NY; McAllen, TX; Starke, FL; Durant, OK; and Lebanon, TN.

The fight isn't over, keep going!

Minneapolis Park Board puts moratorium on evictions The action is the first in Minnesota as a result of the ICE crackdown. (And yes, the Park Board owns rental homes.)

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is suspending evictions for its rental properties in response to the ICE surge.

It's the first local government body in Minnesota to enact a rent moratorium because of immigration enforcement.

just read a story about a little boy in SC who just learned to ride a bike but he was unvaxxed and got measles and got really sick and got a spinal tap and then pumped with medicines and then his brain swelled anyway and now he won't ever walk or eat on his own and he definitely won't ride a bike

Wild that the president of the united states is reacting to a supreme court ruling by having a crash out temper tantrum meltdown press conference where he's literally saying this isn't fair, I'm allowed to do whatever I want, even destroy countries, and people are acting like it's situation normal.
