you are a bad mother if you don't vaccinate your child
"I just had a baby... I was like no, I'm not gonna get any vaccines. The doctors came in. They made me feel like a very bad mother." Doctor Mike takes on 20 anti-vaxxers in our latest episode of Surrounded

I don’t understand how the right supports this. Crashing out and yelling while Zelenskyy remains calm makes you look fucking weak. I thought Trump and JD Vance were supposed to understand strength. They look like bitch losers

Uncertainty, unpredictability, deals. Are these really the rules that the new international order should be based on?

Watching the ghoulish ceremony staged by Hamasbara for the Bibas children; and thinking about all the Gazan children also incinerated by Israeli bombs - can't help but think that Netanyahu and Hamas might deserve each other, but Israelis and Palestinians deserve neither.

it's so evidently obvious that Trump wants to be a dictator and anyone arguing otherwise is in denial
He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.

the problem is that we don't "randomly cut everything by 10-35%." when it comes to austerity, the first things on the chopping block are always education, healthcare, and aid to the poor. why don't we first try "randomly" chopping corporate welfare and "see what happens?"
Until we balance the budget, I’m literally for randomly cutting everything by 10-35% and seeing what happens At least on this scenario we live to fight another day BTW: this is what happens to individuals who go broke: credit cards turn off & Netflix gets paused! 😂

I know why it is this way, but it frustrates me that political discourse is dominated by shit like “should bad tweets get you fired” and not things like “how to dramatically scale up electricity production to achieve civilizational economic shifts”

because she’s married to a fucking loser
Why is no one talking about Usha Vance being the first Indian American and the first Hindu to serve as the Second Lady of the United States?!

While not my absolute *favorite* album of 2024, Better Lovers' "Highly Irresponsible" is certainly the most underrated

there’s something particularly bleak about anti-contraceptive discourse during a widespread rollback of women’s reproductive rights

The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Every trans person eventually becomes an “activist” not because we want to but because you people fucking suck

Again, just to be clear about what's happening here: This is Trump's anti-"DEI" czar, responding with a grinning-man meme when I said he was using "DEI" as a codeword for the civil rights laws from the 1960s. Effectively an admission they plan on restoring Jim Crow-era law.

i just feel like you need to sit back and evaluate your faith if someone humbly pleading with leaders on behalf of the poor and marginalized makes you angry.

If you can’t condemn Nazis because they are your base, it doesn’t really matter if you hold Nazi beliefs or not.
