Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Germans who turned a blind eye to Hitler's fascism and atrocities came to be called "Good Germans." I don't ever want to be known as a "Good American." I want to be known as an American who did good by standing up to fascism and atrocities.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
