We're leading Susan Collins in another poll despite the millions of dollars Elon and Republican dark money groups are dumping into this race. They can spend all they want, but they can't convince Mainers Senator Collins is on the side of working people.

They keep using this line and it's nonsense for many reasons, but also, if that's truly the case, there are only about a dozen "fraudsters" per state: the insurers. No one else could benefit from this particular no-claims "fraud." So where are the prosecutions of health insurers? 🤔

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

This famous 13th-century manuscript painting illustrates the climax of the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Created around 1250–1260 and attributed to the chronicler Matthew Paris, it depicts the Norwegian King Harald Hardrada wielding a massive battleaxe. True to medieval artistic traditions, the figures wear anachronistic 13th-century chain mail and armour rather than accurate 11th-century equipment, reflecting the era of the artist rather than the event.

I think one reason, and a grim one, that energy-limiting diseases get so little attention (aside from Covid denialism) is that it’s hard to capitalize on those of us with them. We are mostly very poor because our working ability is limited, we have little buying power and thus,little lobbying power.
