A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

If their nearby medical facilities haven't closed because of the Medicare cuts they can purchase off schedule vaccines from their for profit insurance at a premium if they can afford it, but kids & folks with immune problems or reasons why they can't directly take the vaccines will be way more likely to suffer and die when the herd immunity is broken and they let a bunch of unvaccinated kids into public schools and daycare facilities.
