Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.

“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

JUST NOW: “This should be eye-opening for everyone. It is happening in our state.”

ICE just detained up to 100 people in Nashville — we’re told at least one says MNPD participated in her detention

You sick motherfuckers rock! 😜😉

Early voting today in Wisconsin

Time to post this again

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

MAGA is thisclose to figuring out Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s DOGE is a con.

🍿

I hear the same thing.

The police report on the Pete Hegseth allegations has been obtained by Mediaite and it is absolutely horrific.

Those stupid motherfuckers wanted cheaper eggs & we ended up with:

Rapists
Pedophiles
Sexual assaulters
Putin apologists
Talk show hosts

And the most unqualified cabinet picks in history who are are out to destroy American Democracy

I hope they all fucking gag on their fucking eggs

Post showing Nancy Mace posting a “biological” sign over the women’s bathroom sign, with commentary by Kevin Saucedo-Broach: can’t imagine there’s anything more cathartic for a white southern conservative than getting to personally segregate a restroom

Someone spray some Mace.

Linda and Vince McMahon are being sued by five people who served as “ring boys" who allege that they were being sexually abused by WWE wrestlers Pat Patterson and Terry Garvin and that both Linda and Vince knew exactly what was happening to them but didn't do anything to stop it.

Yikes.

Traffic on Bluesky, an X competitor, is up 500% since the election. How will they handle the surge? Unlike other social media sites, Bluesky allows users to create their own algorithm. The site does not have ads, nor harvest data for artificial intelligence training. But it is still very small and has an unproven business record.

#Bluesky traffic up by 500%, absolutely crushing Threads and X (twitter).

Millions are choosing the good place.

The North Carolina Senate passed a bill to strip Gov.-elect Josh Stein of State Election Board picks, giving them to a GOP official

Other vRepublican states are expected to follow suit

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS LEGAL?

On today’s Uncovered, we talked about how the political Right created alternative independent media platforms out of necessity in 2020-22 which served them well this election, and how the Left is finally starting to do the same in a big way. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/BaJEX9M...

I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day.

Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.

Dr. Oz!?!?!

For the Newbies On Here

We DO NOT engage with trolls

Block & Report all trolls & bots
Share them with us so we can too

If you engage, it brings more. Cause they're like roaches

Trump’s popular-vote lead keeps narrowing, as Cook Political Report shows in its update from this morning.

Not a single journalist worldwide could credibly call this a mandate.

We have a shit ton of trolls coming here

They're losing traction on the hellscape & r getting desperate

So its simple:

DO NOT ENGAGE
REPORT IF THEY THREATEN OR PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE
TELL US, THEN BLOCK

If you engage with them, they'll be everywhere

Does everyone understand the assignment?

A commenter on our YouTube channel has a suggestion

Just so we’re clear -
Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

This Is Why I Blocked You A list for my MAGA trolls.

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky.

My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation.

Here are my rules why I block them:

Post by Daniel Feldman showing strong uptick in Republican accounts on X following Elon’s endorsement of Trump. Text: A massive shift happened on July 13, when Elon endorsed Trump. Republican accounts started getting vastly more views than Democratic, becoming more and more biased toward the election. This site is not free speech. It is one man's fiefdom.

This is why I am making my way over to friendlier, less rigged skies here. Why play on an unlevel field?
