Make Lying Wrong Again

Watching conservatives, “libertarians” and wealthy elites help Trump is like watching a man locked in a cage with a tiger, helping it eat other people

I will be fine as long as he’s busy devouring someone else, they think

“A nationalist is not a patriot. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best.”

- Timothy Snyder

And of course with no checks and balances remaining, the most powerful man in the world can use his power in all sorts of ways to punish Goldman if they do not bend to his personal will

We won’t even know what’s real if this keeps up

Resist.

Trump to Deploy National Guard to D.C., Take Over City’s Police Department President Trump said he would place the city’s police department under federal control, launching an unprecedented effort to take charge of the nation’s capital.

“Violent crime in [DC] was down 35% last year from 2023, Justice Department data show, the lowest in more than 30 years. The data showed a decline in homicides, robberies, armed carjackings and assaults with a dangerous weapon”

RFK Jr.’s mRNA Betrayal: How Political Ideology Trumped Nobel Prize-Winning Science Every layer of institutional knowledge validated this public-health technology. Yet it’s being overruled based on a politically torqued misreading of what vaccines are supposed to do.

almost ceased to exist. In Newspeak there is no word for 'Science'.”

So someone shot at the CDC....the cops believe the motive was the shooter thinking the COVID vaccine made him sick

I WONDER how anyone would come to think such things.
More blood on the hands of the goddamn anti vaxxers

When a violent event happens in America, I almost always assume the person was an Infowars fan & about 80 percent of the time I'm right.

The stupidest person ever to occupy the presidency.

Hard to watch is right.

YouTube video by Sky News Inside Gaza's Nasser Hospital - where there's virtually no food for malnourished children

This is very hard to watch. But it’s important for all of us to see. The deliberate man-made starvation of children & babies. #Gaza #GazaGenocide

Hunger strike at Alligator Alcatraz reaches Day 9 as inmate protests conditions Detainees say they’ve faced unsanitary conditions inside hastily built facility in Florida Everglades

“Florida news outlets found that among those held at Alligator Alcatraz, only about one-third had a past criminal record, despite officials touting the prison as being designed to hold the worst of the worst” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Doesn’t like the jobs data so he shoots the messenger

This is so stupid

Don’t give up

Things that happened *today*:

Trump fires the guy in charge of economic data because he doesn't like the numbers

Ghislaine Maxwell is rewarded for collaboration with move to cushier prison.

Trump lambastes Fed Chairman in vile, childish rant, and a board member suddenly resigns.

Collapse.

I can see that sarcasm doesn’t come across well over text 😂

Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after the release of weak jobs report The president implied that the BLS commissioner, longtime federal employee Erika McEntarfer, manipulated the data "for political purposes."

“Any erosion of trustworthy data can impact businesses, consumers, lending and policy makers. Historically, the United States' economic data has been considered the gold standard due to the independence typically given to agencies that collect it.”

www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

Right. That thing.

… But it will spark some serious investigations so by 2040 we’ll finally have answers

“beginning in or about 2014, and continuing through at least in or about 2016, individuals affiliated with Russian intelligence services hacked and gained unlawful access to emails of numerous US public and private entities”

Holy sh**

Wait until you read what’s in the finally released ANNEX to the Durham report

Many Christians oppose fascism of course, but the unholy union between religion and fascism is strange and frightening to me

Mussolini, in his Doctrine of Fascism, explicitly talks about how they are a “religious” movement that embraces conflict and rejects “the easy life”

Great guy. 🙄 😂

Double-slit experiment : Hitachi

That’s the general idea, but it can also be made mathematically rigorous and very precise

Here’s what’s important:

- Our built-in, human intuitions are sometimes wrong

- But it’s still understandable

- We could never get to the right understanding without empirical evidence

Notice each electron doesn’t illuminate the entire plate, like a flashlight on a wall, or water lapping a shoreline

Instead, each collision registers as a discrete, well-localized event, like a raindrop

Yet the raindrops build an interference pattern of “ripples”, like a wave

People have a hard time with quantum mechanics bc too often, we neglect to show actual, experimental results

Here’s what collisions of electrons on a fluorescent plate look like, revealing particle-wave duality
