Here are the 2024 vaccine recommendation schedules. They’ve already been wiped from the cdc site. Save them and share widely, especially to your friends with kids.

you know i don’t think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go ‘oh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefs’
so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over
to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people
to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole
i’m proud of y’all.
it’s hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.
To all the nincompoops saying, “But she defied an order from law enforcement”.
Stop. They are ICE. They only have jurisdiction over immigration. They cannot stop a vehicle for a traffic violation. They cannot remove a person from a car because they are blocking a road. THEY AREN’T COPS. They’re taxpayer-funded bounty hunters.
If orders were issued to Renee Nicole Good by ICE, they were unlawful.
And they murdered her.
*taps sign*
REFUSING TO COMPLY (OR NOT COMPLYING FAST ENOUGH) IS NOT JUSTIFICATION FOR INSTANT EXECUTION

If you're in the US military or National Guard, and are given an illegal or unconstitutional order, the GI Rights hotline (1-877-447-4487) is there to help give you the support you need to do the right thing by refusing it. It would be good to think about this now before it becomes a live issue for you and it would be smart of you to memorize that number.
You can reblog this without your thoughts about the US Military, btw, that's allowed.
In fact: you SHOULD share it without your thoughts on the US Military. If someone in the military sees this number and is considering it, they already know. Just let them see the resource.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was murdered by ICE in broad daylight, in front of numerous witnesses that were recording it from multiple angles.
Trump and Homeland Security are now attempting to claim that she was a "deranged terrorist" that "ran over" ICE agents. The videos demonstrate that she was speaking to an agent through an open window, and was attempting to move her vehicle out of the way and leave when the agent standing BESIDE her vehicle shot her point-blank in the face.
ICE agents then refused to permit medical assistance for more than 10 minutes. One of the witnesses was a doctor, but was not permitted to render aid.

From the article:
It’s been a difficult year for clean energy in America. President Donald Trump entered office in January and promptly stopped the transition away from fossil fuels and toward solar, wind, and batteries in its tracks. Right? Not quite. In fact, for all of Trump’s paeans to “beautiful, clean coal” and to natural gas, it’s clean energy that has once again led the way this year. Through November, 92% of new power capacity added to the grid in 2025 came in the form of solar, wind, or storage, according to Cleanview analysis of U.S. Energy Information Administration data shared with Canary Media. That’s in line with figures from recent years. In 2024, 96% of U.S. capacity additions were carbon-free. This year, solar alone accounted for half of new capacity added to the grid through November, while storage made up 31%. Despite Trump’s all-out assault on wind energy — and his pledge that no “windmills” would be built during his term — the energy source has so far accounted for more gigawatts of new electricity than gas turbines have.

As we speak of Renee Nicole Good, let’s remember Silverio Villegas González who was also shot and killed by ICE agents while in his vehicle, then ICE made claims that differed from video evidence. Let’s remember Marimar Martinez who survived after being shot at by ICE five times, but then had to fight against felony charges that were based on claims that differed from video evidence. Let’s remember Jaime Alanis, Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez and Josué Castro Rivera who all died as a result of ICE raids.
Let’s remember everyone that we know of who died in ICE custody due to neglect and “undetermined causes” in this past year alone. Again, these are the deaths that we know of:
Genry Ruiz Guillén, Serawit Gezahegn Dejene, Maksym Chernyak, Juan Alexis Tineo-Martinez, Brayan Garzón-Rayo, Nhon Ngoc Nguyen, Marie Ange Blaise, Abelardo Avellaneda, Jesus Molina-Veya, Johnny Noviello, Isidro Pérez, Tien Xuan Phan, Chaofeng Ge, Lorenzo Antonio Batrez Vargas, Oscar Rascon Duarte, Santos Banegas Reyes, Ismael Ayala-Uribe, Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, Miguel Ángel García Medina, Huabing Xie, Leo Cruz-Silva, Hasan Ali Moh’D Saleh, Gabriel Garcia Aviles, Kai Yin Wong, Francisco Gaspar-Andrés, Pete Sumalo Montejo, Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani, Jean Wilson Brutus, Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir, Delvin Francisco Rodriguez and Nenko Stanev Gantchev.
You can read their stories here:
Remember Keith Porter, who was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent that involved himself in a situation that he wasn’t trained or qualified for, and then made claims that witnesses dispute.
Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras were both shot in their vehicle during a Border Patrol traffic stop. They were taken to the hospital after seeking help from the police, and their current condition is unknown.
Cultures evolving and changing is morally neutral and a normal consequence of just existing at all in a world with shifting conditions and values. This isn't inherently bad in the first place. You can probably even think about at least 3 aspects of your culture that you'd like to change.
For example, I would like it if the role of paterfamilias died out for real. There's still a lot of fathers out there who treat their wife and children like their property.
I would also like it if society was a little bit less sexist but whenever I say that someone shows up talking about how their emotional support sexism is actually super valuable and must be maintained. This has happened more than once.
Me: Gender roles suck and I wish you could just do things without all these useless, made-up rules.
Some rando: I love following gender roles though.
Me: You can still do all the same things you're currently doing if you want, I just don't want to be forced to do the same or be classified as one gender or another based on how I engage with those things. I don't like that this is a widespread social force that has material consequences for your life (including being physically attacked for not conforming in more extreme cases).
Some rando: I still want those actions to be strongly gendered. Just feels nicer that way.
Me: Oh, this person doesn't seem to get it and is clinging to the same essentialist frameworks as my sexist dad who thinks cars are for boys and spending more than 5 minutes in the shower is for girls.

- With this unprecedented move, the Government of Change takes a historic step to protect more than 483,000 km2 of the Amazon biome — 42% of the national territory and 7% of the great South American Amazon — and calls on the countries of the region to join in an Amazon Alliance for Life.
- This declaration makes Colombia the first country in the region to lead the protection of its entire Amazon territory, ratifying its leadership in the conservation of the jungle as a power of life.

It appears the USA has kidnapped the president of Venezuela.
Not to be too cheeky but American individualism is so nauseating. There’s a certain type of person in the notes going ‘Oh well thank god I didn’t vote for him’ as if they now don’t need to care because not voting for Trump has absolved them of any and all guilt.
If saying that allows you to not feel anything for when your country does shitty things, how can you ever be relied on to act to change your country for the better?
Also a lot of ‘I’m waiting for this to actually be confirmed’ in the comments.
While it’s good to be skeptical and to go out your way to confirm things, it’s also on you to recognise what’s happening.
This is being covered by almost every outlet on the planet.

immediately started seeing these kind of takes on twitter and I know they will reach here and you have to understand this isn't happening because the US is the country of cartoon villains who does things because it's evil. It's imperialism. The US has an empire and it wants to keep it and extend it. When it does not use diplomatic and political means it uses financial and economic control, when that does not work it tries to use intelligence operations and when that does not work it uses military action. Venezuela has gone and suffered through all the stages of this and now it's being struck with direct military action.
And again, the reason why the US does all this is not because "thirst for blood and chaos", it's because it's an empire. It wants the natural resources of Venezuela. It wants to keep its imperial dominion over Latin America, it wants to erase potential rivals on the region and keep it under their control. They have said it so. Explicitly.
Stop thinking things happen because of craaaazy guys like Trump or just because the US is "cursed" or whatever the fuck. These things have reasons behind them. Learn that the US is an empire, that it has economic and political interests behind the actions they do, that Latin America and the rest of the global south, and also the US people themselves, have to resist and challenge this empire, and that the only way for this empire to end will be the dismantling and destruction of the US capitalist oligarchy and the triumph of socialism and anti-imperialism.

Massachusetts is home to 13,000 acres of cranberry bogs, making it the second-largest cranberry-producing region in the U.S. and the third-largest in the world. The bright, red berries are the state’s moneymaker, contributing over $1.7 billion to the state's economy annually. But a good chunk of that acreage is taken up by defunct cranberry bogs that have been rotated out of cultivation. Fortunately, a new program by the state’s Division of Ecological Restoration is on a mission to convert them back into natural wetlands. In November 2024, the DER funneled $6 million in grants to the restoration plan. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, more than 500 acres of retired cranberry bogs have already been converted into wetlands — with hopes of restoring 1,000 acres in the next decade. “These projects will transform degraded former cranberry bogs into thriving wetlands that will provide habitat to important species, flood control in time of storms, and access for all to beautiful natural areas,” Governor Maura Healey said in a statement.
Here's to more (native) frogs in the (not as many) cranberries.
