Measles has a 12% mortality rate in unvaccinated young children. Children cannot be vaccinated until they are at least 12 months old. And if infants need to be kept home and out of daycare to avoid potentially fatal measles outbreaks... Guess who that removes from the workforce. (Women.)

Anyone who voted Trump in 2024 knew who he was. Maybe not all of them voted for him because of the bigotry, but they certainly didn't have a problem with it.

Democratic Senators would walk into an Escape Room and, rather than try to get out, decide there's nothing they can do and that's now where they live.

Old enough to remember when a single library deciding not to carry a Dr Seuss book was a grave threat to liberty

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information. This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Yes, just listen. For a long, long time. There's lots of stuff to read too & that's where you can ask for recommendations. But the thing about whiteness is it means white people can't simply listen & hear without feeling they need to give input. Actually just listen & absorb & hesitate to speak.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Blaming DEI for stressing employees out after a week of unconstitutional funding freezes, threats of mass firings, and demands for resignation is certainly something.

Don't look to other people as an indication of how you're doing. Other people might be making more money or have more success than you, but nobody cares so long as you don't.

The Young Dexter show is like Dexter meets Riverdale. I have no idea if it's "good," but I am loving some of the wild swings the writers are taking.
