"Violence has no place in politics" You think cutting off funding for food, education, housing and medical care isn't violent? You think arresting, jailing, deporting and killing people for the color of their skin isn't violent? Worms are in a lot of brains if you think violence isn't already here.

That we're seeing an outpouring of these kinds of false equivalences shows that the violence (real or threatened) originating predominantly from one side is having the intended effect of causing people to avoid stating plain truths for fear of physical repercussions.

A cosmic tapestry of glowing tan, blue, and pink gas clouds with dark dust lanes. At center, the Trifid Nebula resembles a flower in space. Its soft, pinkish gas petals are surrounded by blue gas, and streaked with dark, finger-like veins of dust that divide it into three parts. It radiates a gentle, misty glow, diffuse and soft like the warmth of breath on a cold hand.

We're looking at dark nebulae in the #RubinFirstLook image of the Trifid & Lagoon Nebulae. Dark nebulae are clouds of gas and dust that are so dense they block visible light. This makes them appear black against their colorful, cloudy background. โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ”ญ๐Ÿงช

Trump officials to link covid shots to child deaths, alarming career scientists The move to link coronavirus vaccines to 25 child deaths alarms career scientists who say the shots have been extensively studied.

RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are preparing to do exactly what many of us feared they would.

Next week, they are planning to present data that have been misused or manipulated to make it *appear* that COVID19 vaccines caused the deaths of 25 children.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.
