It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

I need retailers to stop using Amazon fulfillment for their products. I have intentionally avoided spending money with Amazon for a few years now, because I find the company and its founder abhorrent. But recently Amazon packaging shows up on my porch because it's the retailer's fulfillment vendor.

Unelected Republicans in Georgia are asking Todd Blanche to declare their voting machines illegal. DOJ has no authority to interfere with state-run elections, but I doubt that will stop them from trying. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Dear Container Store: I filled out a form on your website specifically because I did not want to wait on hold for hours. So when you call me minutes after I hit "Submit" only to immediately place me on hold and tell me that my call "will be answered soon," you have fully lost the plot.

Black text on a white page that reads:

Today marks 11 years since Obergefell v. Hodges affirmed a simple, profound truth: everyone has the right to marry the person they love.

It's a day to celebrate the generations of LGBTQ+ people and organizers who fought to make that promise a reality. When so many protections are being challenged, we should remember what it looks like when the Supreme Court expands freedoms instead of revoking them.

Love is always worth defending. Happy Pride.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

So let me get this straight: We can’t find the budget to pay our actual TSA agents, but we’ve got plenty of cash to bus in ICE agents with zero experience to do their jobs? Efficiency at its finest. What a slap in the face to the people who actually know what they’re doing.
