Please don’t even come here and suggest that RFK Jr. has little to do with the measles outbreak in TX. He has been spreading misinformation about MMR vaccine specifically for two decades. He is the reason that many parents don’t vaccinate their kids. And he still refuses to strongly promote MMR.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.
