Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with the long-standard vitamin K shot. (Published May)

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

How likely is the race to superintelligence to end in disaster? Ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo: "I would say something like 70% chance that this goes horribly wrong, like human extinction." Do the AI CEOs think there's a chance of human extinction? Kokotajlo: "Yes."

 Instead of waiting to see what happens in 2026, we are taking action with our Protect Our Polls Act to make it impossible for the President to use the military to steal an election. Our bill stops that in three ways.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
