The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

The law won't save us. Nearly all authoritarian regimes legitimize their actions within the law and make their acts legal. More lawyers need to realize this.

The R0 value for measles is 12-18. Not vaccinating your children for this is willful neglect.

"Do I need to call Elon?” one DOGE member barked at a federal security official while demanding access to sensitive information at one agency this month, a source familiar with the exchange tells Rolling Stone." Come on, man, you’re being bullied by twerps.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

"It is a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires... I can't think of a parallel... DOJ, SEC, were investigating Musk companies, that all goes away now, and he makes money at the same time." I was on MSNBC with @joyannreid.bsky.social tonight, talking Elon Musk & corruption.

Elon shared this video and left out the part where they are specifically talking about waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense department's $850 billion budget interestingly, the one government agency that DOGE has avoided so far can't upset the military industrial complex!

This is insane. Musk, the world's richest man, owner of the most influential political messaging platform, and a de facto government member and top ally to the president, is accusing a journalist of being a criminal, because she reported on one of his racist DOGE staffers. This is fascist behavior.

This shows that "doxxing" has become a meaningless, catch-all phrase for anything these guys do not like reported. @klong.bsky.social is an impressive reporter, who simply connected the anonymous postings of a self-declared racist to the public identity of someone directly altering government.

There literally doesn’t need to be a reason for tampons anywhere, especially a restroom. If tampons in a public bathroom make you upset then you are a pathetic, miserable loser and you need to work on yourself. It’s a public space; you don’t own it. And seeing tampons can’t hurt you, snowflake…
