RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines.
He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing.
He says they “dysregulate the immune system”.
Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive”

Israel Escalates Conflict with Iran, Striking World's Largest Gas Field
Iranian media reported that Israel struck the South Pars Gas Field in what would be the first attack on an Iranian energy site.Tom O'Connor (Newsweek)
The Montgomery County Courthouse #NoKings event in Norristown, PA, was well attended, I'd guess at least 500 there when I arrived. And this in light rain.
Happy to see a more mixed crowd today: young and old, not just white seniors, lots of different cultures and ethnicities representing.
These things suggest to me that the protest numbers from around the nation will be massive. I hope to see it.

The eighteenth-century legal system relied primarily on victims and other private individuals to initiate prosecutions.
To counter the disincentives raised by the financial fees, time and potential damage to reputation entailed in mounting a prosecution,
the government offered financial incentives,
both in the form of rewards and the payment of expenses.
Voluntary societies were also set up to support prosecutions.
Despite these initiatives, however, many still found the costs outweighed the advantages of pursuing a formal prosecution.
At the same time, the system of rewards offered the public, and even the poor, manifold possibilities to use the law for their own, sometimes illegitimate, ends
"Another Trump supporter asked a police officer whether he could engage with the protesters and was told he could yell at them if he wanted. When the man immediately began shouting expletives, the officer warned him not to try to incite an incident.The man moved on quietly."

I'm both a city mouse and a country mouse.
I've got a soapbox to stand on one of these days about how city-folk can tend to be dismissive of rural people for lots of reasons that aren't founded in reality, and hold stereotypes that are damaging and unsupportive. And about how this is just as divisive and feeding into fascist narratives as the misinfo about cities is.
But maybe not today. Right there is the point, even if I'm not up to outlining the details rn. For now if you think you may have this bias, look inward and see what you find.

Ah yes, I really dislike it when, as someone who is autistic, I don’t look before I accidentally block the entire Mastodon.social domain instead of just blocking a specific bot user.
Great, now over 100 lost me in their feeds. My day is ruined.

Hi friends. I’m seeing posts saying, “wow so many great photos from the #NoKings protests, too bad they don’t have #AltText so I’m not going to boost them.”
Protestors sharing pics may not be in an ideal position to write alt text in the moment. Instead of complaining, consider writing the alt text for them, if you have the time and ability. #Alt4U #AltText4U
If you are sharing a pic & can’t add alt text, consider tagging it with #Alt4Me or #AltText4Me, and maybe some helpers will arrive.
❤️👍✊
Y'ALL.
I just got home from the #NoKings protest in #OKC.
Early numbers reports and a statement from the rally podium say THIS WAS THE BIGGEST PROTEST IN #OKLAHOMA HISTORY.
It was gorgeous.
We marched for about 1.2 miles to the rallying point outside City Hall. This took about 30 min.
Spouse & I were with 5 friends (3 more joined us later). By the time we had been at the rallying point for 20 min, the marchers further back WERE STILL COMING.
Literally every flavor of human represented.

I'll post pics later. Right now I need a warm shower. It started raining while we marched, and we stood in the rain for more than 2 hours.
It rained. They didn't leave.
It thundered. They didn't leave.
It lightninged. THEY DIDN'T LEAVE.
For what it's worth, for however long it lasts, I'm proud of you, #OklahomaCity. We showed up. And like true Oklahomans, we didn't let the weather stop us!
More later. ♥️🖖

Today is the day! The #NoKings protest on the Coastside starts at Noon, along the corner of Main Street and Highway 92.
Remember: please stay on the sidewalk and out of driveways, planters, and medians.
If the crowd is large, groups can head towards the corner of Highway 1 and Highway 92.

we need #nokings reports from the Dakotas, Carolinas, Virginias, Maryland, Baltimore, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, Ohio, Alabama, Pennsylvania
no matter how big or small, let us know how the protests are going in the neoconfederate states.
Deep in Maga country, strong turnout. Good signage and very diverse crowd (for us). Hot out, but people looked happy to speak out.
Counter-protestors appeared to be five geriatric Proud Boys waving PB flags like they were advertising merch. Strange twin desire to swear at them and check if they needed help getting to a bench where they could rest.

😢 Boelter shot the Hortman's dog too, according to Ken Martin Minnesotan DNC Chair:
“Unspeakable. Just learned from Rep. Erin Koegel that Speaker Hortman’s kids had to put down Melissa’s beloved dog, Gilbert — after Vance Boelter shot the dog while assassinating Melissa and Mark. The cruelty knows no bounds. My heart aches,” he wrote.
