Israel hizo esto en Gaza.

Masked paramilitaries marching in front of a hanging Trump banner on the DoJ

This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

He personally profited off the deaths of Americans and helped enemies of the United States. Trump pardoned him and invited him to his home. I don’t know how to better explain that this administration hates Americans and loves America’s enemies

Red USA caps have been handed out to every member of Trump's "Board of Peace" ahead of its first meeting.

And yes, that is FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Doctors in Canada have no paid vacation, sick leave or pensions - ever wonder why we have a doctor shortage?

We’ve moved onto the gaslighting portion of this hellish timeline.

Elon Musk is talking about Nigel Farage's Reform Party: he says Reform are trying to eradicate white people in Britain.

He is a radicalised + increasingly racist lunatic - obsessed with theories of white racial extinction + promoting the idea of civil war in Britain

Well that's not great.

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

Billionaires’ Low Taxes Are Becoming a Problem for the Economy Tax avoidance by the superwealthy is an economic issue as well as a political one.

There's a lot to unpack here, but this is eye-popping:

"Data from the Federal Reserve shows that only the richest 1% of households have grown their share of overall U.S. wealth since 1990."

The fact that the WSJ is pointing this out makes me think that Institutional Money™ is getting very uneasy.

Obviously the cruelty to the children is the point.

But they’re also damaging the staff. They will never be the same after this—may they be haunted by the memories of what they did. Because they can’t ALL be psychopaths.

The United Nations says the Epstein files point to the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that has committed crimes against humanity, yet the Trump White House is just like… sorry, there’s not enough evidence to prosecute anybody in these files. Insane.

FDA reverses course, agrees to review Moderna’s flu vaccine The FDA reversed course and told Moderna it would review its application for a new flu vaccine, the company announced Wednesday.

Public pushback matters... and reveals levers of power.

Leaked Brownstone Institute Emails Reveal Support for Child Labor, Underage Smoking “Maybe I have a tin ear but I can't really see the issue here."

That’s why there’s uh…overlap between the “reopen schools now” crowd and the “send the kids back to work in the factories” crowd.

A bit of a long shot, but I’m looking to pay someone to photograph some archival documents for me in Amsterdam in the next 6 months. If you know any PhD students based there etc who might be interested pls do send me a message. #historians #paidresearcher

We have to stop letting rich people tell us that the only metric to measure a country’s success is the stock market.

Study: SARS-CoV-2 RNA found in 39% of hospital air samples during outbreaks, despite good ventilation

This is why I have both a large commercial HEPA and a smaller one pointing at my face even in my private office in the hospitals I work in.

Florida: we deported all your hard working employees, but have no fear, we're bringing back child labor to fix it.

Seems like Democrats have all sorts of messaging opportunities here

Sign Petition: End the Terror and Violence. Abolish ICE. This is not law enforcement. It is terror. (44832 signatures on petition)

If you feel that same responsibility, I ask you to stand with me. Make your voice heard. Add your name to a petition demanding that Congress abolish ICE. Let us show, unmistakably, that cruelty will never be the measure of this country.

With respect, I would like to know what such students would have had universities do instead, under that very specific set of unprecedented circumstances. Something that abided by the law, protected the vulnerable, and also fulfilled their consumer expectations. I’m listening.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

There is a measles outbreak in London, which has been widely reported.

Vaccination rates are low.

And we have been warned that an outbreak could be large.

Some of the reasons are due to misinformation and disinformation. Thankfully the Government appears to be waking up.

A thread.
