What if we didn't scroll past this? What we said this is not acceptable? What if we stopped this and told the world this isn't who we are?
Disgusting, cruel and inhumane. A new DHS inspector general’s report confirmed for the first time that immigrants detained at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” facility were held in outdoor cages the size of a telephone booth. 🤬 rawstory.com/alligator-alcat…

BREAKING: The Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth after Charlie Kirk's killing. I fought back. I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. ✊🏾 nytimes.com/2026/08/24/busin…

My daughter-in-law, who is a pediatrician at one of the preeminent children’s hospitals in the US and cares about only one thing—the health and wellbeing of her precious patients—agrees with this.
Here’s the correct answer: The MMR vaccine is one of the safest vaccines and medical technologies ever developed. Its accelerated use since 2000 through the @gavi alliance has reduced the number of children who die annually from measles from 450,000 to under 50,000 annually, and in the U.S. MMR vaccine led to the elimination of measles and congenital rubella syndrome. But the vaccine ecosystem is a fragile one, and due to rising antivaccine activism and a corrupt wellness industry pushing fake alternatives, both measles and congenital rubella syndrome are returning to the U.S. Therefore we must do everything possible to advocate for MMR vaccinations, explain to the American people why MMR vaccine doesn’t cause autism, and restore vaccine confidence. That’s the full correct answer

Reduce it down: The 'outrage' about a Black woman being cast as Helen of Troy is just white supremacists being petulant about a woman of color having WHAT THEY DON'T WANT US TO HAVE. I.e. anything really great. Period. They don't want that for us. nytimes.com/2026/07/10/opini…

Somewhat reassuring (re: human goodness) that there is at least some element of MAGA's base that is disgusted and appalled by growing evidence of Trump's pedophilia and participation in Epstein's misdeeds. theintercept.com/2025/11/14/…

How is this a ceasefire in any way?
Update:The Israeli air strikes and bombardment of Gaza last night killed 64 Palestinian civilians including 24 innocent children and injured hundreds. Among the Palestinians killed 18 adults and children from one family ( Abu Dalal family in Nusairat ), attached is a video of the house of the family.
