Seems like every day there are more and more people looking at ICE and saying “I didn’t vote for this”. You did. You voted for a man who handed out MASS DEPORTATION NOW signs to crowds at his rallies. Did you think that mass deportation was going to be gentle and thoughtful and peaceful?

Did you know? About 4.5 million SNAP recipients are babies and toddlers under age 5. About 11.1 million SNAP recipients are kids aged 5 to 17 years, who need food for healthy growth, learning, & development. The federal government has the capacity to continue funding SNAP during a shutdown.
11.1% of SNAP recipients are kids under age 5, 27.7% kids 5-17, 41.6% adults 18-59, 19.5% adults aged 60 & older

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

Let me get this straight. Men in their 30s and 40s are kids who deserve a break but 12-13 year old girls are old enough to experience the consequences of the actions of their abusers (who also happen to be grown ass men). apnews.com/article/vanc...

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

They’re forming a CDC workgroup to decide which line on this graph looks better and their answer may surprise you
Global infant mortality rate with
and without vaccines
Infant mortality rates measure the share of newborns who die before reaching their first birthday. They are shown here as the actual observed change in the global rate (in blue), and a hypothetical scenario if vaccinations hadn't been rolled out (in red).

While both lines decline, the gap between them continues to widen, resulting in an almost 50% difference at 2024.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor
