Here is some material Bari Weiss published regarding Covid.

So when anyone defends her in any way, what they are saying is that real world victims of medical disinformation don’t matter.

It’s all just a game to these pundits.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Judge Columbus by his era and send his genocidal, rapist ass back to Spain in chains.

We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Letitia James.
Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

Heidegger, Pound, Webern, Jung all supported the Nazis.

fascism is a moral error, not an intellectual one. being educated isn't a prophylactic.

Think about it for a second… if you still can. And start protecting your brain from repeat Covid infections before you need to rely on the lying machine to β€œthink” for you from now on. Wearing a mask now & demanding clean air is easier than living with cognitive dysfunction & memory issues for life😷

GS: β€œDo you agree with Trump @govpritzker.illinois.gov has committed a crime?”

@JDVance: β€œHe violated his oath of office.”

GS: β€œThat’s not what I asked.”

Vance shamelessly sanewashes Trump’s call for Pritzker to be jailed. TN has a πŸ‘‹πŸ½ higher murder rate… should @GovBillLee be jailed?😬

Screenshot of Truth Social post by Trump:

"THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.

What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT"

Some of y'all are pointing out that Trump ran the FBI on Jan 6, and had run it for ~1,400 days straight at this point.

But this doesn't have to pass your discerning eye.

It has to work on people that believe that Haitians eat your dogs, and that raw milk and Ivermectin is better than vaccines.πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ

Save this graph for the next time @MarshaBlackburn @SpeakerJohnson @JDVance try to hold $50 Billion for rural hospitals out as a of win for the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ people

We’re bad at math but $1.1 TRILLION in cuts (for tax cuts for the rich) > $50 BILLION

They think we are all morons

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

lots of people still don’t believe Team Trump want to crash the economy, likely because it’s hard for normal people to think like sociopaths

Sarah Kendzior is smart to invoke memories of 1980s corporate raiders. That should give many Boomers and some Gen X food for thought. We remember that crap.

This has always been part of the GOP playbook: Downplay incidents of right-wing violence, and then repurpose them as supposed acts of leftist terrorism for public consumption. They first did this in 2020.

Donald was seven years old, and his father was brought before a U.S. Senate committee investigating abuses in a housing program for war veterans and middle class families. President Eisenhower had been outraged to learn of the bribes that developers paid to bureaucrats and of the alleged profiteering practiced by Trump and others. Ike called them "sons of bitches."
As federal investigators had discovered, the elder Trump had collected an extra $1.7 million in rent-equivalent to $15 million today-before beginning to pay back his low-cost government loan. He was able to do this because a bureaucrat named Clyde Powell approved the paperwork.
Powell, who had never been paid more than a modest government salary, had mysteriously amassed a small fortune. (While it was clear Powell accepted bribes, the sources were never officially identified.) In addition to collecting the extra rent, Trump paid himself a substantial architect's fee. And he charged inflated rents based on an estimate of construction costs that was far greater than what he actually spent. All of this was legal, even if it did victimize taxpayers, veterans, and other renters.

It’s no wonder that Trump has such a twisted view of war and sacrifice. And the utility of bribes.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam β€œSubu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.
