Official: Kidnapped Ukrainian children punished for refusing to sing Russian national anthem.

Children complain of beatings and other punishments for refusing to sing the Russian anthem and for mentioning that they are Ukrainians.

As punishment, Ukrainian children were not allowed to go for walks and were forced to rewrite Russian texts

The children said they were told that their parents “abandoned” them and that they should not return to Ukraine, where “no one is waiting for them.”

Third dose of #Pfizer vaccine during #pregnancy protects the baby 53% more than two doses during pregnancy! Rates of hospitalization in Israel for a baby younger than 4 months were 0.4% for 3-dose mothers, 0.6% for 2-dose mothers, and 0.7% for unvaccinated mothers. A baby born to an #unvaccinated mother had a 1 in 143 chance of being hospitalized for #COVID in the first 4 months. 6/

Happy Easter. People who die don’t come back after three hours much less 3 days. Snakes can’t talk. Nobody has ever lived to 500+ years of age.

These people believe in the most asinine bullshit and somehow that’s my problem and now little girls who get raped by their dads or uncles or neighbors or PASTORS (not drag queens oddly) are going to be FORCED to birth that baby at 12.

That’s where we are. People believe absolute insanity and it informs legislation. Christofascists are unfit for office

"Florida health officials removed key data from COVID vaccine report"

Let me translate that for you, the chief medical official for Florida **intentionally** lied about the clear relative benefit of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

The story of #SCOTUS Justice #ClarenceThomas is a primer on why we need #journalism #journalists: to hold the most powerful people to accountable. May not work every time but it’s in the history books, on the record. To me that’s worth a lot.

Many people say "Seeing is Believing." Religion requires us to reverse those.

@normalguy Their own grounds. You'll have to Google, but... I posted this yesterday:

Via Lawrence Tribe:

Joyce Vance is right: #Tennessee just violated the First Amendment. And by doing it along racial lines, it violated the Equal Protection Clause as well. And, to complete the Trifecta, it violated the Art. IV guarantee of a Republican Form of Government. All in a day’s work! #legal

President Carter, now in his last days, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.

Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.

The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.

I had no idea. I have no idea why this isn't widely known

Less than 24 hours after a jury in Austin found Daniel Perry guilty of murdering a protester, Gov. Greg Abbott stated he would pardon the domestic terrorist

Perry is a white conservative who announced his intention was to murder BLM protestors - for anyone wondering

And your reminder, Texas removed the teaching requirement to label the Ku Klux Klan as morally wrong

Texas. The where the Lone Star is a review

Happy triple-religion weekend!

@TootUncommon @1finekitty Tennessee rednecks forgot to go to the ethics committee before they expelled anyone. Civil rights violation. Where is the DOJ?
