A navy torpedo detonates under the target, lifts it out of the water and cracks the hull. The people who aren’t thrown overboard by the blast are knocked unconscious and buried alive in their compartments when the ship sinks. We did that to 141 people today for no reason.
A great video made by college student Sam Tapper for the Resist and Unsubscribe campaign.
Hooray! It took me a minute to do this and it was fine. I don’t miss it. I was surprised by how many other e-commerce sites exist.
A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying.
With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an
Trump cares most about the markets. The best strategy is to opt out.
We’re asking you to join a monthlong national economic strike targeting tech and AI companies. www.resistandunsubscribe.com
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.
"During the meetings, committee members and presenters made at least 60 false, misleading or unsupported claims about vaccine safety, disease spread and rationale for childhood vaccination, according to the Evidence Collective, a coalition of science and medicine researchers."
If “pressure from stakeholder groups” is the reason to reopen a working birth-dose policy, we deserve clarity about who those groups are.
Are they broadly representative of parents and clinicians, or primarily anti-vaccine advocacy and litigation networks? Those are very different things.
Screenshot of a CDC slide titled “Michigan, 1999.” It describes a previously healthy 3-month-old infant admitted on December 14, 1999 with diarrhea, jaundice, and acute liver failure from hepatitis B virus; the infant died three days later and had not received a hepatitis B vaccine until age 2.5 months. The slide notes that the infant’s mother tested HBsAg-positive at her first prenatal visit (the first of ten), but the prenatal record sent to the birth hospital incorrectly said she was hepatitis-negative and neither the provider nor the lab reported the positive result as required. A blue box at the bottom states: “The Immunization Action Coalition documented more than 500 transmissions of HBV in these types of situations from 1999 to 2002.”
To all the people saying that hep B only affects "people who do IV drugs and have orgies":

The least anyone can do is boycott Spotify and Home Depot. Mostly to send a message. I’m amazed by people who claim to be horrified by this but feel like switching to Qobuz or Tidal is too much of an inconvenience. I fear the people with agency are too pampered to act.
Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics?

Two great alternatives:
NYT INTERESTING TIMES Did Women Ruin the Workplace? And can conservative feminism fix it? By Ross Douthat and Victoria Chamberlin
the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from
I posted a while ago that women tend to think of the office as “place to do work” and a certain kind of man thinks of it as “happy fun play place.” Recall how many bosses wanted to RTO during COVID because they don’t like being home with their family.
Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

Find your local protest, share the info with everyone you know, everyone must go. Peaceful protest is our only hope. www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=h...
the description of the ka$h challenge coin in the driscoll lawsuit really did not prepare me for this
Yet another good reason for locals to resist data centers: "electricity now costs as much as 267% more for a single month than it did five years ago in areas located near significant data center activity"

Always loved that Arby's/coal fact, and the coal industry has shrunk a lot since then. The piece also noted more people work in museums than in coal..... (and Mr. Weinstein is responding to yet more coal-industry welfare in the name of jobs.)
It’s been a huge honor to be a part of this important project alongside amazing colleagues. @cidrap.bsky.social

“Democracy dies in darkness… “
It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade went on national television and called for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. "Just kill 'em," he said.
There hasn't been one word about it in The New York Times or The Washington Post or USA Today.
A US senate subcommittee was told this unpublished vaccine study was 'the most important ever.' Henry Ford Health now confirms why it was never published: it failed scientific standards.
Here's what's actually wrong with the study:

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
“CVS, the country’s largest pharmacy chain, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states…even to people who meet newly restricted criteria from the Food and Drug Administration.”
The regulatory chaos has paralyzed vaccine access.
