two of our best friends were in the civil rights division, their dream jobs, and were pushed out because they were being tasked with undoing everything good the civil rights section has done. just unbelievable and sickening to see who they’re replaced with.

I fear that any midterm “mandate” angry voters give them will be squandered on dinner party invites instead of building the accountability regime people are desperate for and are putting their bodies and lives on the line to get.

Vaccine conspiracism is overwhelmingly clustered among the religious, white and affluent. It’s a function of conservative ideology and bad faith media. Being nicer to MAHA types will not ‘bring them into the fold,’ it will only increase their sense of entitlement.

Objective: Strengthening of antivaccination movements in recent decades has coincided with unprecedented increases in the incidence of some communicable diseases. Many intervention programs work from a deficit model of science communication, presuming that vaccination skeptics lack the ability to access or understand evidence. However, interventions focusing on evidence and the debunking of vaccine-related myths have proven to be either nonproductive or counterproductive. Working from a motivated reasoning perspective, we examine the psychological factors that might motivate people to reject scientific consensus around vaccination. To assist with international generalizability, we examine this question in 24 countries. Methods: We sampled 5,323 participants in 24 countries, and measured their antivaccination attitudes. We also measured their belief in conspiracy theories, reactance (the tendency for people to have a low tolerance for impingements on their freedoms), disgust sensitivity toward blood and needles, and individualistic/hierarchical worldviews (i.e., people's beliefs about how much control soci hould have over individuals, and whether hierarchies are desirable). Results: In
order of magnitude,
antivaccination attitudes were highest among those who (a) were high in conspir-
atorial thinking, (b) were high in reactance, (c) reported high levels of disgust toward blood and needles, and (d) had strong individualistic/hierarchical worldviews
. In contrast, demographic variables (including
education) accounted for nonsignificant or trivial lev
f variance. Conclusions: These data help
identify the "attitude roots" that may motivate and sustain vaccine skepticism. In so doing, they help shed light on why repetition of evidence can be nonproductive, and suggest communication solutions to that problem.
Keywords: vaccination, conspiracy beliefs, health communication,

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

I am so sick of being lied to every second of my life. I am so sick of watching human bodies being tossed into the fucking trash. And with glee. They're so excited about causing pain. How does a person like that live? I know I've asked that before but no one has given me a solid answer.

There are more of us than there are of them
Something I hear a lot is that they're doing so much all at once because the goal is to overwhelm us and I have good and bad news for the people saying that because it is 100% working. I am in fact overwhelmed. I imagine you are too. Vacillating between a state of shock and impotence and confusion.

There are so many more of us than there are of them. That has to be worth something. That's worth something right? You would think someone could do something with that fact.

I'm not doing particularly well myself since you asked. Physically or mentally. I understand that the smug shit-eating childishness of this version of fascism – a child who can nevertheless do grave harm – is part of the whole deal. Its intent being to frustrate and demoralize us into despondence and ultimately acceptance. And it's working. What does a person do? I know I've asked that before but no one has given me a solid answer.

How do those sea worms and all those guys survive in the thermal ocean vents? It would be easier to answer that. I couldn’t but at least someone could.

I've spent all week shoveling snow and last night was the worst of it yet this season. Six plus inches of the kind of wet slush you could break your back on. One single shovel-full. And this morning it had all turned to ice. A slick black frozen pond as far as the eye could see. I really don't want to do it but I'm going to go out and contend with that now. No one else is going to. Well my wife might but you know what I mean. You get the analogy here.

…propaganda, but Vachris is right. There is no fast food item as beloved as the Costco hot
dog. For a buck fifty-the price has stayed the same since it was introduced in the '80s—you
get an all-beef dog and a fountain soda (or now, a bottle of water). In the 2025 fiscal year, the warehouse club reportedly sold 245 million of those combos. There's a reason why Julia Child herself used to eat two Costco dogs at a time with mustard and sauerkraut. (The last sentence is highlighted)

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.
