One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

There will be gin.
It sounds so good to me 😂
Are the oyster crackers still crunchy?
Imma need a review
They should have fucking resigned rather than about-face here. And they should live with this ignominy for life.
They just have good-faith questions about whether seat belts really save lives
We all know that a defining characteristic of American evangelicalism is its absence from the halls of power.
They sure don’t!
Well we’ve seen that engaging with anti-vaxxers as if they’re “just asking good faith questions” doesn’t work, so I think public shaming is worth a shot.
We should bully people who deny their children life saving medical care, actually.
This, 100%
Yep. Children are viewed as property in this country.
Unfortunately my prescience is limited to the Christian right, but if that somehow becomes lucrative I will loop you in
Children are the most vulnerable members of our society. They aren’t really fully human in the eyes of the law, and as a result, parents can deny their children essential healthcare and basic education, with little or no consequence. Stop prioritizing mom’s feelings over the child’s wellbeing.
They’re bad parents. They’re bad community members. They are actively harming their children, other people’s children, and their larger community.
We as a society have a duty to bully the fuck out of anyone who is straight up anti-vaxx or even entertaining any vaccine delays and shit. These are babies and children being affected. Like what the fuck are we doing not bullying the fuck out of anyone who puts their kid at risk unnecessarily?!
i don't think most anti-vaccine parents are bad parents. we are drowning in medical misinformation. it's really hard! and a lot of these parents are more accurately described as vaccine hesitant than ideologically opposed. they have good faith questions that deserve to be answered with compassion.
They’re bad parents, actually.
Deliberately refusing to provide your child with life-saving preventative healthcare is abuse. They’re bad parents.
I’m all for advocating for mental health resources, but I cannot fathom choosing to focus my advocacy on technology created, controlled, and pushed on us by evil tech billionaires who need to keep our access to **actual** health care tied to our employment through private insurance.
Congratulations!!
LMAO
He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives
I know how people are relying on these tools. I just don’t think the tools are necessary or inevitable.
As a chronically ill person, I think this is bad, actually!
No I’m not willing to consider “trade offs” that justify the water consumption, air pollution, and art theft.
And I think it’s facially absurd to argue that the technology created and controlled by comically villainous billionaires is ever going to be a net positive for humanity.
It’s one thing to oppose an over-broad law, and another to claim that GenAI’s positive applications outweigh the devastating environmental and human costs.
Yeah people do matter in this discourse. People like the artists having their work stolen matter. And the people in the Black neighborhood in my city being poisoned by data centers also matter!
Say psych right now
Yeah I’m fine with eliminating the positive uses of the suicide-encouraging, art-stealing, environmental-scorching computer, actually.
