I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.Stay free

South Carolina Measles Outbreak Becomes Largest In U.S. History Since First Elimination

In a December 16 email to Mother Jones, at which time South Carolina already had more than 100 cases, a spokesperson from HHS downplayed the threat of measles. Now, with 789 cases and counting, the state's current measles outbreak is the nation’s largest since measles was eliminated in 2000.

When I think about measles I think about the number 1,000. Thats the number that epidemiologists use to explain harm from measles in children. With 1,000 cases, about 200 children will require hospitalization, 50 will develop pneumonia, and one to three will die.South Carolina is at 789.

Measles cases this year have reached nearly 26% of last year's total cases, which totaled 2,255.

Another doctored photo from the White House

They lie all the time

The White House was caught doctoring a photo of a Minnesota protester to make it seem as if she was crying. Rather than apologize, the Trump regime declared: "The memes will continue.” To the Republicans defrauding the American people, lies are just "memes" now. (NYT gift link)

The White House posted an altered photo of an attorney arrested after a Minnesota church protest, edited to make it look like she was crying, sparking concern among some forensic-image experts about the administration’s distortion of real-world imagery.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose
