  • They were also accused of providing fraudulently completed vaccination record cards for over 1,900 doses of the vaccine in exchange for either a cash or a donation to a specified charitable organization.

    It seems to me it might be more than two vaccine doses.

    The government also alleged some children were given saline shots, at their parents’ request, so the minors believed they were getting the vaccine.

    Right-wing parents lying to their own children. There are no words...

  • It takes courage to do what you're doing and you have my support. All the very best to you.

  • This meme is powerful and sends a very important message. The next protest is on July 17. I hope I get to see you out on the street with me. If we can keep pulling up our numbers, it can make a huge difference. I choose to believe.

    Thank you for sharing this, Sunshine! I'll check it out.

    As an aside, I'm a longtime fan of yours and I enjoy reading your posts/comments.

  • LadyButterfly, you're the positive force on this platform. And you inspire us all. Keep being you.

  • Thank you for explaining the matter so well for us all. It's much appreciated.

  • This is beautiful - and it's a great way to bond with your daughter. Good on you for inspiring the rest of us and I love the comments on this post. We all certainly need to decompress in these very challenging times. We're all in this together. Thank you for sharing this work - continue to do so if you're up to it!

  • I think it has to do with this part in your quote:

    Some of the sister vessels in each of their wider fleets have made calls to Israeli ports in the past year, shipping data analysis shows.

  • Good riddance, genocide enabler. Don't let the door slam you on the way out.

  • Davis said that over the last two decades, most of the terror attacks in Canada have been perpetrated by ideologically motivated violent extremism.

    “We’re not talking about al-Qaida and Islamic State. We’re talking about anti-Muslim, ‘Incel’ or anti-government extremists. And I think that’s one of those things that Canadians don’t necessarily understand. The Islamic State makes the news, but it’s really this other type of terrorism that’s the real problem in this country.”

    I'm going to guess the terrorists in this case are not drag queens, but rather, right-wing extremists.

  • They found that a U.S. child was 15% to 20% more likely to have a chronic condition in 2023 than a child in 2011. In particular, the prevalence of depression, anxiety, sleep apnea and obesity all increased, as did rates of autism, behavioral problems, developmental delays and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

    Yikes, that's bad.

    "What we found is that from 2010 to 2023, kids in the United States were 80% more likely to die" than their peers in these nations, he says.

    Among infants, these disparities in mortality were driven largely by sudden unexpected infant death and prematurity. In older children and adolescents, the gap was fueled by gun violence, motor-vehicle crashes and substance abuse.

    Imagine a child in the US being almost twice as likely to die as compared to a peer in Europe - and it falling down to guns, car accidents, drugs, and lack of healthcare. This is very sad.

  • I think that's based on locale. In some English-speaking areas, people might use "holiday" instead.

  • Canada, Australia, and now NYC. This is beautiful. We need this idiot imbecile to keep talking.

  • Beautiful! These small blog entries bring me such joy.

  • It turns out that most people do not like hatred.

  • But the pediatrician was right:

    In the post that preceded the end of her time at Blue Fish Pediatrics, Propst alluded to how Kerr county had – like Texas as a whole – voted in favor of Trump as he defeated former vice-president Kamala Harris in November’s White House election. Trump’s administration has since eliminated mentions of the ongoing climate crisis and its consequences, one of which is downpours like the one that devastated Kerr becoming more common. He has also mused about “phasing out” the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), in part so that the president’s office could be in charge of distributing disaster relief funds and ultimately “give out less money”.

    It might be nice to have this pediatrician's skills in another state, perhaps a blue one.

    She added:

    “Kerr county Maga voted to gut Fema. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for.”

    Yes, I'm in agreement. May we all have the day we voted for.

  • The body approved a measure that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics.” The reasoning: “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.”

    Union members speaking on the floor rejected the ADL’s abuse of the term “antisemitism” to punish critics of Israel, its use of hyperinflated statistics on hate crimes to gin up fears about Jewish safety, and its characterization of calls for Palestinian rights as “hate speech.”

    “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change,” said NEA delegate Stephen Siegel from the assembly floor.

    NEA members also cited the ADL’s history of discouraging anti-racist organizing, including attacking the anti-Apartheid and Black Lives Matter movements.

    I'm glad the educators have dumped this genocide-enabling organization.
