In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

If you want to explore human options to accompany your writing, the Public Work Search Engine is a fun place to peep. public.work Searching “Palestine,” I stumbled upon a cool concept of locations and their flora from the 1890s. publicdomainreview.org/collection/f...

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Got this in my son’s homework folder, and I felt a wave of sadness. It seems my 10yr old is learning more about human rights than the entire Trusk Administration knows, or wants to know.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

The Israeli-Palestinian film "No Other Land" has been nominated for an Oscar for best documentary feature. Watch our interview with co-director Yuval Abraham.

No Other Land officially Oscar nominated with no US distribution. Someone release this film properly!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

It's always been obvious that the anti-DEI backlash wasn't driven by opposition to silly or ineffective trainings, it was opposition to diversity itself.

TikTokkers moving to Substack are not refugees. They’re not persecuted or fleeing violence because of their race, religion, or other social identity. If you must use these terms, say Tiktok migrants, since they are migrating for work and economic opportunities. #Tiktokrefugees #Tiktokmigrants

The CFPB claims Capital One intentionally kept news of its higher-yield savings accounts from members with lower-yield savings accounts.

Federal charges for the murder of a CEO, but not the murder of a migrant teen. Maybe Foucault was on to something when he said the language of the law is not universal, but rather a discourse of one class to another.

Where are we shopping for bras? Any recs for natural fiber bras that don't have polyester, elastane, spandex... etc?

Israel is plotting to colonise Gaza. This is all being openly discussed in the Israeli media. It is a damning indictment that Israeli newspapers offer more details of what's actually happening than newspapers in, say, the US or UK. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israeli-me...

Israel killed this entire Lebanese family in Beirut today by dropping bunker buster bombs on their heads while they slept. All of them civilians.

Instead of the gift of another fancy hand cream, how about an “experience” gift that’ll give you both something novel to yap about in the new year? silkycrunch.substack.com/p/the-experi...

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

I'd love to see more white American women devote their energy to analyzing incels; I don't need any more wiki takes on 4B

Disasters are going to get more severe and more frequent, and it’s no surprise that this year’s federal price tag is exceeds 100 billion dollars. Climate action is way way cheaper than climate inaction.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
