I'm curious. Hadn't they replaced all judges with pro-trump judges?

Sorry for breaking this to you, but USA is no longer part of the western democracy.

I think this article is a bit sensationalist if the text they're referring to is this https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/robert-f-kennedy-jr-measles-outbreak-call-action-all-us

Title and subtitle:

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.: Measles outbreak is call to action for all of us

MMR vaccine is crucial to avoiding potentially deadly disease

Includes this in the initial text:

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory illness with certain health risks, especially to unvaccinated individuals.

This is the text prior to the vitamins mention:

Parents play a pivotal role in safeguarding their children’s health. All parents should consult with their healthcare providers to understand their options to get the MMR vaccine. The decision to vaccinate is a personal one. Vaccines not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity, protecting those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons.

He does defend that vaccine is a personal choice, which is not ideal for someone in his position, but he underlines that this will also increase the risk for those that can't be vaccinated (eg allergies).

And finally he does create some deception and opens the door to doubt with:

Tens of thousands died with, or of, measles annually in 19th Century America. By 1960 -- before the vaccine’s introduction -- improvements in sanitation and nutrition had eliminated 98% of measles deaths. Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses. Vitamins A, C, and D, and foods rich in vitamins B12, C, and E should be part of a balanced diet.

The linked graph clearly shows no change in average deaths by 1960 and change only happens done years after. Healthy habits will for sure make you better prepared to fight off infections, but it is still better to be vaccinated. This is clearly a false and problematic piece of text, but is by no means the focus of the overall opinion piece.

Still don't trust him, though!

Remember that religion is a method for crowd control.

Let's remember that there good people there too. Let's remember that these scumbags, whichever country they run, rely on our sweat, tears and blood to move forward with their decisions. While not all of us are good, obviously, I want to believe that many Americans were tricked by media to think Trump was a valid choice. What we need to understand it's that this is a us people versus them rulers. If only we would understand this together and stop fighting each other...

All communist countries used the communism idea to trick their people into a fascist government.

Could you please share a source? Found a more neutral stance https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/ukraine-recognizes-israel-and-palestine-commits-1717324150.html. Also some references on him asking for weapons from Israel, which being in a war would make sense.

Don't worry, those labor rights will stop existing shortly so that employers can continue to pay less without illegal labor. All according to plan!

I feel that we should... But also feel clueless and powerless! I'm out of ideas :(

We should be doing something about that...

But it is incredible the power those points have in our mind! Just now I'm being downvoted for a comment I did and I immediately felt the need to go there and justify the point I was trying to make. It took some effort to convince myself that I don't care about that and that I don't have to justify to those that didn't understand my point.

 

Lemmy appears to use more data than Reddit, so I'm thinking that maybe the images I see while scrolling are full sized instead of smaller previews. Anyone can confirm?

 

Comprei um caiaque na Decathlon e agora estão dizer-me que é preciso carta de marinheiro para poder andar em águas profundas como aquelas, mesmo com colete salva vidas. Alguém tem conhecimentos sobre isto? O Google não está a ser muito prestável. Obrigado em avanço!
