    Her kids died over a year ago. Police said “the incident is being handled as a homicide” at the time. The kids’ autopsy was scheduled for over a year ago.

    They only arrested her last week.

      All that smoke RFK Jr.'s idiotic “movement” let her throw around what she did probably contributed to the delay.

      That just speaks to incompetence on the part of the police, or a lack of willingness to enforce against this person.

    Another big sad part of this is that the typical Anti-vax person would read this and think it’s still the vaccines that killed those kids and also that the parents are being blamed to be silenced/framed for big pharma. There’s no amount of medical evidence that could convince someone that vaccines aren’t dangerous because they’ve already read books by non-doctors telling them they’d be stupid for “believing in vaccines”. If anyone tries to give me Aaron Siri’s book again I’ll prob laugh at them though I should have the first time. I’m not having kids tho so apparently I’m not important enough to indoctrinate 😂

      Yeah these charges are just going to make her a martyr to the anti-vaxxers. I do feel uneasy seeing any mom charged for the death of her own baby/toddler without clear evidence; seeing all the charges for murders for miscarriages, and cases like “Dingo ate my Baby”. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is a real thing; and all too often mothers face criminal scrutiny just for being the caretaker of a baby/toddler that passes.
      We’ll have to see what the state’s proof is for the foul play.

        Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is a real thing

        …Two at once? 🤨

        without clear evidence

        So you’ve read the forensic reports?

        18 months old is old for SIDS. And both at the same time come on. And you don’t know what the autopsies have shown.

        Found this person’s comment interesting:

        “The next few episodes of Last Week Tonight are going to be interesting…,” another added, referring to comedian John Oliver’s late-night show, which airs on HBO.

        I know Oliver has made comments himself about this. I wonder how he’s going to handle it.

      I’d be curious if someone has a curated list of media outlets and websites that started out alright, or at least relatively innocuous, even if they were overly corporate and center-right (like CBS), and then took a hard right turn…

      CBS -> fell into Donvict-friendly hands WashPo -> owned by Bozos Twitter -> fell into fElon’s hands, now known as Xitter RealClearPolitics -> was apparently sold to batshit-insane right winger(s).

      And so on. I’m not sure of something going the other direction, although some might say that Steve Jobs’ wife is on the left and bought the Atlantic, but…I’ve not really noticed an improvement in Atlantic’s output.

      I do have to laugh when someone points at pages like this to “prove” that there really is a “liberal media”. I guess if you basically have nothing actually on the left but the most fringe of things running on a shoestring budget and no audience (like counterpunch for example) and then rank everything that’s remaining - basically all of the spectrum from the center to the extremist radically right wing, the stuff in the center becomes “very left”, lol:

        It frustrates me whenever a YouTube channel takes a sponsorship from Ground News, because they treat ideological bias as something that’s evenly balanced and equally problematic from both sides, when in reality the overton window of what counts as left-wing keeps getting dragged further and further to the right with the resurgence of fascism around the world.

          I don’t know much about Ground News though I have seen the adverts on channels. I had a co-worker ask if I used it and I tried to not react in a rather hot-take as the idea rather annoys me - that the problem is somehow “too much radicalism on both sides”, whatever.

          I still have to laugh about the ratings sites like mediabiasfactcheck.com (remember when things here were getting that robot to rate them via this?) and “allsides.com” (haha! allsides! They should have just called it bothsides, FFS).

          I remember someone saying they would not even read an article I linked at Wonkette. I asked what specific facts they took issue with - of course, they would not even read the link in question, but came back with this: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/wonkette/

          Oh, right, so again, some random site uses a methodology to scoop up what is largely a spectrum of moderate left (at most) to the extremist ridiculously cartoonish right wing and then put them on a scale. Because there is almost nothing on the far left of any consequence, really, it becomes almost hilariously skewed. Milquetoast “centrist” corporate dreck is classified as liberal, haha.

          Anyway, sure, Wonkette has an opinion and they use humor, but they are often a great place to start and they provide references. They even issue corrections and apologies, IIRC.

    Obvious MAGA supporter. May those babies that she didn’t deserve rest in peace. This pisses me off so much. If I had a chance to see her I would spit on her. And let me guess, she’s “pro-life”
