HuffPost: Donald trump has posted an AI video of himself dumping s**t on protesters

He's definitely not mad that 7 million Americans came out to protest him yesterday....

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the β€œcrown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

What Happens When Trump Gets His Way With Science Harvard’s School of Public Health is broken.

Impt story. Not just Harvard. Always astounded me how various stakeholders haven't pushed for reform of soft $ system making US Public Health & med schools vulnerable for ages to such a Trump admin move. Plus anyone in the health sci's knows it exploits faculty & prioritizes grant $ vs. good sci. πŸ›ŸπŸ§ͺ

Just visited the CDC on line data source this morning, it was down last night. Trump's censors have ended the available data at 2016, data through 2023 was yesterday. I have previously downloaded some of the later data and will be posting some comparisons. πŸ§ͺπŸ’‘β˜ οΈ #Sociology #Population #News #Think

mRNA covid vaccines spark immune response that may aid cancer survival An analysis of patient records suggests that mRNA covid-19 vaccines boost the immune response to cancerous tumours when given soon after people start a type of immunotherapy, extending their lives

mRNA 🧬 vaccines - but not other kinds - trigger an innate response that can allow the immune system to 'see' and attack tumours, animal studies suggest πŸ§ͺ

If true, the covid vaccines should do this - and now we have the first evidence this is so

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

The Colorado Springs Gazette, normally a right-wing propaganda outlet, has a surprisingly good front-page article today with lengthy comments from the event organizers, reporting on the very visible presence of veterans in the crowd, etc.

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.
