Health is inextricably linked with politics. Democracy requires participation. Not playing Russian Roulette with Covid. Opinions my own. #LongCovid

2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, and 20 years from now, Americans are going to be subject to attacks here and all over the world because of what Trump is doing right now.

I got this $30 Mobi otoscope from Walmart, and I am super impressed with it. Honestly better than my professional otoscope (other than not having an insufflator).

My 12yo clearly has an ear infection.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Donald Trump has given us the best reason imaginable for trading your gas car in for an EV.

With solar panels, a geothermal heat pump, and an EV, you can get rid of dependence on fossil fuels.

The midterms are going to be interesting if gasoline is $10 a gallon.

I daresay a supermajority for impeachment might be possible in such a scenario.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Considered that we are governed by a bunch of corrupt, pedophile oligarchs committing war crimes to distract from their abhorrent deeds, we are way past anything that can be remediated by the DOJ, even if it still had integrity left. We are in Nuremberg 2.0. territory.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

According to President Zelenskyy, countries in the Middle East fired about 800 patriot missiles in just three days β€” more than Ukraine has had during the entire war.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

America’s religious zealots condemning Iran’s religious zealots is peak hypocrisy.

There is a segment of the American population that has no moral compass. And unfortunately they are in power.

CPAC Head Says Iranian Schoolgirls Are Better Dead Than β€œin a Burqa” Leading Republicans don’t seem to care about the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Matt Schlapp has attempted to justify the killing of more than 100 young girls at an elementary school in southern Iran, by claiming they were saved from religious extremism. trib.al/mpzZynt

The US military has no honor under Hegseth. War criminals. I pray that justice is served at The Hague.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

The US Navy torpedoed an unarmed ship and left the survivors to drown.

The Iranian ship had been participating in exercises that required the ships be unarmed. The US knew this because they were going to participate in these exercises but pulled out.

Yes, but the US did not crush Germany and Japan. We helped these countries rebuild and create stable democracies, rather than repeating the catastrophic mistake of the punishing war reparations of the Treaty of Versailles that set the stage for the rise of Nazism and WW2.

I get the part about isolationism. But what I object to is the characterization as that being the β€œonly” selfless act that the US has done. The Marshall Plan as well as the many disease-eradication and treatment efforts that the US has spearheaded worldwide certainly should count as something.
