If you give RFK Jr. the time of day after learning that he’s advised by the biggest ratf*ckers in the MAGA cult—Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, and Roger Stone—just admit you’re a rabid Trumpist interning with a psycho psyop collab' #RFKjr #rightwing #mikeflynn #rogerstone
Happy Father's Day to all of you who celebrate!

Not all white Texans supported the slave-owners’ rebellion though. A group of German-Texans opposed it, and were massacred at Nueces. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nueces_massacre
The polio outbreak of 1955: Lessons from an epidemic
IMAGINE IF THE ANTIVAXX LOBBY OF ELECTED REPUBLICANS WERE IN POWER BACK THEN?. THEY WOULD HAVE TOPPED THEIR WILLFUL MURDER OF THE CLOSE TO A MILLION AMERICANS THEY ALLOWED TO DIE DURING COVID WITH THEIR IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE!
Vaccination timelines
A breakthrough at Boston Children’s enabled development of the vaccine that would lead to the eradication of polio in the United States and most other parts of the world.
Again having Tumblr to thank for resurfacing the old animated Discworld adaptations of 'Wyrd Sisters' and 'Soul Music'. The animation might look dated by modern standards, but a lot of talent, heart, and effort went into those mini-series, and the character of Death is actually voiced by *the* Christopher Lee.
They're a bit hard (and pricey) to come by these days, but they are available on YouTube, if that works for you.

Thanks @mekkaokereke. I had never realised that the battle for the Alamo in Texas was never a battle for freedom or liberty. It was a battle for the right to keep slaves.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
