I truly feel for all the current & future American history teachers/professors when they cover the early 21st century. OTOH, they will have a cornucopia of brilliant posts/memes like the one below to choose from in preparing for their classes. #AmericanHistoryX #HistoryTeachersUnite

At face, the lack of an ACIP board seems like a DC red tape thing, but this is a sneaky eugenics effort. When vaccines are not recommended by ACIP, they are not covered by insurance or available for free through Medicaid…meaning the most physically and financially vulnerable don’t have access.

Melody Schreiber@melodyschreiber.com

There's no ACIP in the US right now -- and there won't be for the foreseeable future because RFK Jr isn't reconstituting the group. That is already having consequences for new vaccines, which don't have ACIP recommendations. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“US vaccine recommendations are in limbo, access to vaccines is suffering, & some of the uncertainty may continue for years following major blows to vaccination by the Trump administration” I have been genuinely surprised at the speed & magnitude of RFK Jr’s dismantling of vaccination in the US 😢

RFK Jr. is putting Americans at risk. When I’m in Congress, I’ll fight to reverse this administration’s reckless policy choices.

RFK Jr. is not even close to being done with destroying public health. Republican Congresspeople are 100% behind him in this effort. Vote for public health.

Jake Scott, MD@jakescottmd.bsky.social

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

I'm surprised he didn't say vaccines make you Arabic.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

Flávio Bolsonaro has been banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports following his presidential election defeat, amid investigations into suspected influence-peddling, money laundering and other alleged financial irregularities.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Brazil's, Trump backed candidate, Flávio Bolsonaro faces a corruption inquiry over R$134 million sought from jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro, who is also linked to suspected influence-peddling involving associates of election court chief Kassio Nunes Marques.

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Jesus fuck, the Arab world is where *SO* much science came from. While the Christians in Europe were in the dark ages and dying of plague, the Islamic world in the Asia was preserving books and knowledge and figuring out so much shit in basically every single scientific field.

They put him w/ a bunch of 5-year olds bc he was very advanced at soccer... and then called the police bc he was kicking the 5-year olds asses. Part of me is sad but the other is glad this origin story is being covered so widely for when he ends up becoming the face of pro soccer.

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

3 years-old.... I had my first experience with racism when I was six. My Mom explaining to me at six about what I would sometimes face moving through life. This breaks my heart.

This is a chilling satirical statement and also, I believe, a real risk of allowing the idea that nebulous, unproven biological advantages should result in bans on classes of people in sports to gain purchase.

I support banning biological Black toddlers from youth sports if it’s an issue of fairness and safety.

Ok, seriously, THERE IS NEVER A REASON TO CALL 911 ON A 3 YEAR OLD. Never. Even if it's trying to stab you. Take the knife away. We're building prisons for CHILDREN. Calling 911 on toddlers. WTAF is wrong with you? Fix yourselves FFS!

A Florida family says police escorted them from a youth soccer field after parents complained that their 3-year-old son, Nevada, was dominating games against older children. His parents say he scored multiple goals despite being repeatedly substituted.

So many white people thought this headline was a joke—but Black people know better. Even when we excel, White America is always right there to put us in our place, i.e., where they think our place should be. Imagine calling COPS because your 5-year-old is getting schooled in soccer by 3-year-old.⚽️

White people calling the police on a Black toddler and police responding are why it's always and forever the racism, not "economic anxiety."
