Ten years ago today, The Lancet retracted Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent 1998 article claiming the MMR vaccine caused autism. He performed procedures on children unethically, paid kids at a birthday party to give him blood samples, and doctored data. He still claims he was right.

every depressed person understands intimately the dull, anhedonic emptiness of seeing every “good” thing they have & being unable to connect with it or use it to lift themselves clear of illness. this is bad and you should feel embarrassed

Warren supporters are not my enemies. People who disagree with or are frustrated by Bernie's approach but agree with me on 90% of issues are not my enemies. This is a fraught time and we're all going hard for our candidates. But we can't let ourselves become bitter enemies.

How drunk on your own power do you have to be as a rich person to think Bernie Sanders being president is the worst of all possible outcomes. The worst of all possible outcomes is an enraged public dragging you out of your mansions and beating you to death in the streets.

secret former altar-boy hack: it is a hilarious bit of wilful foolishness that if u ask a priest why God is a “he” theyll promptly give you a more or less workable definition of gender that has nothing to do with genitals then u play the reverse Uno

Sex is for: - a man & his dead brother’s wife who’s now his wife - a man & his mistress - a man & his new wife who’s his mistress’s sister - a man & his new-new wife who he wed a wk after beheading his 2nd wife, the one he’d wed after creating the church that makes these ruleshttps://twitter.com/guardian/status/1220339575366864896 …

Maybe u should protest themhttps://twitter.com/DownundaThe/status/1218563460574789633 …

men be like I’m bilingual I speak English and over women

saying that you "already knew" someone was gay or trans is shitty, my dudes. you're not only implying that those things are innately tied to visible characteristics (mannerisms, style, voice, facial features, height) but you're also minimizing their choice to speak up.

While the press feasts off a tiny "he-said, she-said" tiff between Warren and Sanders, Trump is Cutting 700,000 off food stamps. Still threatening war with Iran. Equating Islam with terrorism. Doing nothing to stop Russia from interfering in the 2020 election.

I didn't realize how ableist everyday English is until I started trying to stop use ableist language and, hoooo boy. Just like, whoe swaths of my working vocabulary gone

As we enter the “Bernie vs Warren” stage of the primary, please remember: Corporate media (1) does not give a shit about you or your country (2) is trying to rile you up over trivial bullshit (3) will do anything to steer the debate away from critiques of capitalism/corporatism.
