#KochNetwork works really hard to end public education.

Preventable contagious disease presents so many opportunities to recreate segregation, further reduce literacy, and manufacture the desired level of future illiterate serfdom.

@arstechnica this is INSANE. Measles is one of the most contagious pathogens on the planet. 90% of those in contact with an infected person will contract the disease if unvaccinated. It lives on surfaces or hangs in the air for TWO HOURS after a sneeze. FFS, the anti-science of the "protect the kids" Florida anti-woke dumbshits WILL kill children.

@arstechnica @lisamelton do me a favor, if you see this gentleman in the street, cough on him. Some of us are likely to have an airborne disease that could inconvenience him.

Now there's a man who knows exactly what he's doing.

And that's what scares me.

I can't imagine the frustration that (probably most) of the reasonable parents must feel.
