Dengue fever locally transmitted case reported in Texas. This article on FoxNews avoids mentioning that there is an approved vaccine for the virus. Readers blame migrants coming over the border (and the Biden-Harris admin for not stopping them) for the disease, without realizing that many Americans are living in Dengue-affected areas.

The vaccine should be approved in Dengue-endemic areas like Florida and Texas. https://www.cdc.gov/dengue/hcp/vaccine/index.html

@Bix the sad thing is that if & when the US can pull its MAGA head out of its fascist ass, we will find an international order waaaaay less tolerant of our shit.

The threatened tariffs on imports by Trump are the beginnings of a corrupt shakedown of industry by government.
There will be exceptions granted, dependent on how much money a specific industry agrees to donate to Trump and his hangers-on.

Transforming America into a Christofascist dystopia ruled by corporations and billionaires wasn't something that Trump and MAGA Republicans were entitled to.

They had to urn it first.

@TwiHusband And Thiel owns Palantir, a giant data-sifting organization that would be perfect for identifying and rounding up people whose opinions are now deemed subversive. #thoughtcrime

I'm glad that Donny's new guy at Treasury gave this explanation. All those egg price folks will breath easier now.

“tariffs can’t be inflationary because if the price of one thing goes up, unless you give people more money, then they have less money to spend on the other thing, so there is no inflation.”

holy crap - #politics

Nobody will ever give your rights back. You have to take them. It is going to be an uphill battle, but it is worth it.

I reflect on when I was a child. People had a lot more rights than they have now.

That should bother a lot of people.
