They usually have roses in their twitter names. The rose has long been a symbol of socialism/social democracy.
Agreed. How anti-vax stuff ever actually gained traction is something that is just baffling to me.
CA has actually had a similar policy to MS and WV since 2015 but the biggest issue now with vaccination is that there are a few doctors that are just handing out medical exemptions out to parents who ask for them or even charging people to get a medical exemption. A few have been prosecuted so far but it opened the conversation on how to try and get doctors to not to just give out phony exemptions.
Also, can I just say how the fuck can someone be a practicing doctor and also just fall into the anti-vax hole? That seems completely negligent to the point where their license to practice should probably be revoked.

Thanks for the info.
To be incredibly mildly fair to Dershowitz, everyone deserves to be defended.

Well.. two solid choices out of five ain't bad I guess.
So it's becoming increasingly obvious that Manafort isn't linked as closely with Trump as previously hoped.
It looks like most of Trump's crimes fall under Michael Cohen's umbrella of typical campaign finance crimes as opposed to giant international conspiracy to be elected president.
Unless there is still a shit load of stuff Mueller hasn't let out of the bag yet.

Wait a minute.
I had the flu this week.
When I read a tweet that said something along the lines of Klobuchar eating a salad with her comb and then making an aid clean it, I thought I was in the midst of a fever dream.
...that happened?

Which incumbents have been ousted in the open primary system. Eric Swalwell is the only one who comes to mind, but 2012 also shifted a ton of the lines so a ton of incumbents weren't running in districts where they had run before in and only represented a fraction of their new districts.
ie: Pete Stark's old district looked pretty different than the new district he lost (he also was dodged by a ton of ethics scandals that makes it different than an ideological primary)
EDIT: So even when Joe Baca lost in 2012, the same thing: yes, Ontario still anchors the district, but it shift the district way to the left by adding Pomona, and 150k new voters that he didn't represent beforehand. Also loses San Bernardino, which was Baca's home base, which is uh, sort of a big deal.

One of those candidates is not like the others...
Tulsi, whyyyyyy
No, but seriously it's great to see so many women running this time!
If that's the case then why does Trump keep saying nice things about Manafort and dangling pardons his way? Wouldn't he just completely disown him if they weren't closely linked?
Yeah, i just find it hard to believe that Manafort was doing this all behind Trumps back.
Trump has been involved financially with the russians for years, We have trump talking about the release of hillary's emails before they were releassed, we have emails of Trump Jr enthusiastically trying to collude with russia, we have cohen in russia trying to work on what would have been by far the biggest deal Trump has ever made and trump publicly lying about it, he could have had picked anyone in the world to be his campaign manager and he picked Manafort and continues to defend manafort. We have the trump inauguration with russian fingerprints all over it, russian friendly administration policies and decisions, and of course Trumps absolute refusal to say anything negative about russia whatsoever even though he knows it hurts him politically and opens him up to scrutiny to people on both ends of the politcal spectrum.
I think the idea is to use the issue to woo voters. It is a way to pitch "Small gubment" to hippies.
Looks like Harris is getting a pretty good turnout for her town hall in Ankeny, IA.

Bread and Roses
As we come marching, marching, in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill-lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
For the people hear us singing, "Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses."
As we come marching, marching, we battle, too, for men—
For they are women's children and we mother them again.
Our days shall not be sweated from birth until life closes—
Hearts starve as well as bodies: Give us Bread, but give us Roses.
As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient song of Bread;
Small art and love and beauty their trudging spirits knew—
Yes, it is Bread we fight for—but we fight for Roses, too.
As we come marching, marching, we bring the Greater Days—
The rising of the women means the rising of the race.
No more the drudge and idler—ten that toil where one reposes—
But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses.
— James Oppenheim, 1911
The general idea is that Workers don't just deserve the necessities, but also access to the luxuries of life.

It's a rapidly growing suburb so apparently a lot. Population is 65,000.
Maybe they're rounding up local parents she can throw in jail.

Why Suburban Swing Voters May Be Less Common Than You Think
A new poll finds that far from being more moderate than urban or rural voters, suburbanites are actually more partisan.

You understand southpaw is being extremely sarcastic here, yes?
If I were Trump and there was nothing tying me to Manafort's activities with Russians then I would be out there today and ever since he was charged saying "Thank you FBI and Special Council for exposing this spy who made his way into my campaign!! You guys are the best in the world, thank you so much!" Not saying "Paul Manafort is a very good guy and this is so unjust."
Yup, he may as well be holding a gigantic sign saying "i'm guilty".
Can one gleam a posters intent, when they post nothing but a tweet somebody else wrote?
Nothing on Harris's social media. Couldn't find a stream from the media either. Usually WaPo streams these events, but there's nothing live on their YT page.
There's a few answers, but it's probably not really a unified thing across all anti-vaxxers. A lot of it will come down to vaccines are bad and they'll come up with whatever excuses they can to claim they're bad no matter what.
One of the things anti-vaxxers like to push is that the vaccine schedule has too many vaccines, too rapidly. A teenager getting some vaccines wouldn't go against that. But of course, they have other arguments. There's chemicals. Thimerosal is used as a preservative for vials with multiple doses and contains mercury and it's due to anti-vaxxers that thimerosal free formulations were created. Studies found there isn't any difference in vaccines with or without thimerosal. Thimerosal is still used in vaccines today but every single vaccine is currently available in a thimerosal free formulation which may have to be requested for by the patient. Anti-vaxxers also don't like shedding, a term for viral replication in an infected person and spreading the virus to the environment. This is only relevant to live attenuated vaccines, but in the real world it's actually irrelevant because those attenuated viruses are harmless and do not cause disease except in rare situations, such as an immunocompromised patient.
There's probably more, but that's what I can remember off the top of my head.
