Sometimes, at a medical conference, when the results of a study are presented, the audience cheers This is what happened at a 2024 cancer meeting when a study showed HPV vaccine lowers the risk of head/neck cancer (www.cancer.org/cancer/lates...) A 2026 study confirmed this finding....

I effing despise RFK Jr. I had a cancer caused by HPV that had a massive impact on my life. I would have loved to have a vaccine that could have prevented all of that and whatnot. Yet that fool has claimed that HPV vaccines themselves cause cancer and he’s making bank on that lie and others.

I will never forgive or forget a single Republican Senator who voted yes on RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. But as you know I hold especial contempt for Bill Cassidy (R, Invertebrate) for greasing the skids for RFK Jr. and for the destruction of U.S. public health.

It is almost incomprehensible. California’s Habeas Corpus Resource Center (a state agency) reported in May of this year that the death penalty costs the state over $200 million a year, meaning California spent at least $6.8 billion on its death penalty system between 1978 and 2025.

Cases with impaired victims and assailants are difficult to investigate and prosecute. It's absolutely clear, though, that initiating sex with someone who is incapable of consent is assault. But more to the point, if you think having sex with an impaired stranger is okay, you have a big problem.

No. We’re talking about labels assigned to people unjustly prosecuted. Chicago 7. Central Park 5. Broadview 6. It’s not a pattern we should use for frat boy gang rapists. We should call them the Cornell Gang Rapists.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

Days before the Cornell story went viral, a student of mine set off a personal security alarm by mistake in class. Overwhelming, many of my male students simply could not understand why she had it. Many of my female students couldn’t grasp their lack of comprehension. We are living in two worlds.

Donald doesn't seem to understand the concept that building a military complex on top of a ballroom makes said ballroom a legitimate military target. He's basically using everyone who comes to events in said nonexistent ballroom into human shields, which, last I checked, is a war crime.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.
