OMFG

In the wake of the measles case identified in Montgomery County this weekend, we answered some common questions about the virus and how to protect yourself: www.inquirer.com/health/montg...

You can tell antivaxxers don’t actually care about children because a child died and these sickos are using it as an excuse to share juice recipes and promote their supplements. There’s more aluminum in a cup of carrot juice than in the two-dose MMR series. And carrot juice doesn’t prevent measles.

good answer, but my god what an insane question

you'd think Marco and Elon would be proud of how many people they're condemning to needless death. Elon bragged about how he put the agency "into the wood chipper". why so bashful now?

A beautiful day to be in Philadelphia

misinformation on this topic kills children. journalists always have a responsibility to Don't Print Lies In The Newspaper but it's especially true for childhood vaccinations.

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

Do these fuckers ask Musk if he owns a suit?

I appreciate the deep reporting here but would add one thing: This isn’t just an attack on the federal workforce. It’s an assault on the entire country. We ALL rely on government services that Musk is paralyzing. The impact of his cuts will only grow more horrific. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

Trump is firing your friends and neighbors and using the savings to harbor known rapists.

God forbid a woman have hobbies

Work has been excruciating this week (thank God I'm off tomorrow) But free charcoal drawing class also kicked my ass lol

Jersey Kebab owner Celal Emanet was released from ICE custody late Tuesday after being fitted with an electronic ankle monitor. His wife, Emine, continues to be held at a detention center in Elizabeth, N.J. 🔗 inquirer.com/news/jersey-...

This is what you get when Pizza Hut stops giving Americans pizza to read books

Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.

Congratulations to Governor Greg Abbott, who loves nothing more than dead children.

Breaking News: Man from Ohio who rose to prominence exploiting his familial connection to Appalachian Kentucky has harsh words for immigrants that maintain ties to places they don’t live.

If the rest of the NFL puts in writing that they’re scared of the Eagles and tired of being bullied then I will be ok with banning the tush push.

All ten of the PA Republicans in the majority sold out their constituents tonight to help Trump and their billionaire donors. These GOP Medicaid cuts would devastate families and PA’s economy.

The effects of the House’s proposed “Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts” in one graph: a 3.9% boost in income for the top 1% of households and a 7.4% reduction in income for the bottom fifth of households. In two words: class warfare. www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."

If this doesn’t sum up the Sixers whole season lmfao

The DC police last week sought to arrest a sitting member of Congress, a Florida Republican, for physically assaulting a woman in DC. But the US attorney’s office didn’t sign off on it. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

This might be an old person opinion, but it is shocking how spoiled everyone is. Oh, a shot that is cheap to produce, has minimal side effects, and reduces your chance of disease by a full third isn’t good enough? What do you want here and how do you look to achieve it?

got mad because the bank was closed. felt like the broke person Charli was talking about in Life Von Dutch

Not that you needed any more evidence that Musk is an utter buffoon but JFC.

This hike was firmly in Sheetz country so it was a pleasant surprise to get two go birds on the trail

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Turns out no snow in Philly doesn't mean no snow at Hawk Mountain. Gonna have to go back to hit the skyline trail when it isn't covered in ice, but beautiful lookouts and a boulder field

Eff oh ex ! Spells....

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

These celebrities are babies (Da bomb and the last dab aren't that bad, but they taste terrible lol)

Musk absolutely wants to make it to illegal to criticize his shit-box products in the U.S., too - this woman in China was forced to pay TESLA after faulty brakes almost killed her family. Stop the rabid dog. apnews.com/article/tesl...

Mitch is one of the singular villains of American history, personally responsible for the destruction of our democracy and our government at a level above anyone save Trump himself he is a vile man on the level of John Calhoun and should be remembered as such

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

Close enough

When I was 15 I called everything gay and then one of my friends pulled me aside and was like "hey when you do that you sound like an asshole and I don't think you want to be that kind of person" and she was right so I stopped.

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.
