Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

Do you know what kind of fliers they were circulating after Jake Lang came to Michigan? KKK flyers. Hate all comes from the same place. It's up to us to unite to fight against all its forms.

The U.S. military has long warned that rising temperatures, severe droughts, and rising sea levels act as threat multipliers including an expanding refugee crisis and competition for water and land. See 2015 Time Magazine article on Pentagon cited threats of extreme climate crisis. #Nepal #tsunami

Trump reported 1,051 trades in his June disclosure. These two stood out: — June 18: Bought $250K–$500K in Boeing, the same day the Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract — June 23: Bought $15K–$50K in SpaceX, the same day NASA recorded a $425.6 million award to SpaceX

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

Long before Trump ran for office, Law & Order: SVU ran a “ripped from the headlines” episode in 2011 of an Epstein-like child predator SA’ing children in his NYC mansion. What an indictment of us all. We knew and allowed the wealthy predators to go free. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

I mean, seriously. Were there politicians back in 1945 who thought "Yeah we should just reform the Schutzstaffel. It would be politically foolish to say we should defund or abolish them. I bet we can reign them in by re-writing laws that already exist. I'm sure they'll follow them this time."

Vermont Isn’t for Sale; An Independent PAC Is Spending Big to Support Democrat Aly Richards' Bid for Governor www.sevendaysvt.com/news/an-inde...
Vermont is not for sale. A Vermont Voter’s Take on PAC Transparency: Aly Richards can also come out plainly and ask those out-of-state PACs to withdraw their ad buys, take down their websites, and social media in support of her campaign.

She has not. She has said she didn’t ask them to involve themselves, but it’s legal. Without an explicit call to stop, Aly has tacitly allowed $200,000 in out-of-state funds to keep bolstering her campaign.

“Legal” isn’t the bar. It’s the floor.

I remember during Civil Unions, people on both sides of the issue told national groups to get out of Vermont. Not because the law required it. Because Vermonters alone should decide Vermont’s future.

Aly says she’ll sign stronger campaign finance laws as governor. Good. But you don’t need to wait for a law to do the right thing right now. According to VT Digger, $230,000 from five donors, four of them out-of-state, is exactly the influence she says she wants to end.

If you’re serious about reform, you lead by example before you’re in office. You don’t benefit from the loophole and promise to close it later.

Say it plainly. Ask them to stand down. #vermont

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

Trump’s depravity has been known for decades. His racism. His sexual predation and friendship with child rapist and sex trafficker Epstein. His financial fraud and bankruptcies. His repeat failures to pay contractors. His rank cruelty. And now his rot has infiltrated the U.S. government. He must go.

Most people on Earth are not white (aka of European descent). Only about 1 in 6 people is white. Roughly 16% of the world's 8 billion. 84% of the world’s people, 6.9 billion people, are people of color and Indigenous (aka the Global Majority). The world isn't majority white. It never has been.
