#Measles is preventable with two doses of vaccine. Yet in 2024, 30+ million children remained under-protected, leading to more large or disruptive outbreaks. Only 76% of children got the second dose, far below the 95% coverage needed to stop outbreaks 👉 bit.ly/4kFzSGW

Illustration of a young child sitting against a pink textured background with playful shapes. Text reads: 'Measles protection requires two vaccine doses.' Below, a water drop icon is followed by: 'In 2024, only 84% of children got the 1st dose and just 76% received the 2nd dose.'

Honestly it’s good to know that when a guy who spent decades hanging out with a famous pedophile and is accused of being a pedophile himself spends years hyping up the existence of pedophile files and doesn’t release them, people will only elect him president twice before they get suspicious.

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

A majority in the United States Senate voted to kill many of their own citizens today in order to make rich people richer. Sometimes you have to type it out to fully grasp what has just happened.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I'm begging folks to not compliment themselves too much on their "non-violent" marches & rallies. Instead, try to understand that violence at protests is generally a result of law enforcement escalation. Then, the galaxy brain move is to ask yourself "which protests do police tend to attack?"

NEW: This opinion piece in today’s Washington Post is one of the most important it has ever published. Shadi Hamid on the urgency of calling the Gaza crimes what they so patently are: a genocide. I don’t like violating paywalls, but make no apology for doing so for this. It’s essential.

The opening of the story.

It reads:

Throughout history, atrocities have usually been committed under cover of darkness. The perpetrators know that what they are doing is wrong. They hide it. They deny it. They speak in euphemisms. But what happens when they no longer feel the need to hide? What happens when they say the quiet part out loud?
This is what is happening in Gaza today. The mask has come off.
Ethnic cleansing has become the official policy of Israel. The nation's leaders are admitting it, without apology. There was barely a pretense before. But now there's not even that. And these admissions, combined with mass killing on the ground, point to something even more horrific: genocide.

The end of the article which reads:

Words matter because they determine action.
When we avoid naming a genocide for what it is, we become complicit in allowing it to continue. Terms like "humanitarian crisis" or even "war crimes" can function as euphemisms that fall short of triggering the moral and legal imperatives that genocide demands. The power of naming isn't some academic exercise; it's practical. It determines whether the international community mobilizes to stop atrocities or simply manages their aftermath.
There was a time when I would have cautioned against using a word like "genocide" too freely, worried about diluting its meaning. But we are well past that now. Shielding people from uncomfortable truths is self-defeating. Words have meaning, and they should be used when they describe reality. Otherwise, we're in denial, and atrocities at this scale shouldn't be denied.
Israel's brutalization of the Palestinian population in Gaza has gone on too long. These are unspeakable - and, more important, indefensible - crimes. We cannot be complicit in minimizing them or pretending that they are not happening. Because they are. Enough.

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

On May 18, 1980, Richard Lasher got up early to get some photos at Spirit Lake. Instead, he was forced to stop because of the massive, explosive Mount St. Helens eruption and captured this iconic photo with his own red Ford Pinto on the road. 🧪⚒️ #OTD www.hemmings.com/stories/mt-s...
