Tweet from @RepublicanVotersAgainstTrump, Text: "Q: 'What do you say to people that are worried that [RFK Jr's] views on vaccines will translate into policies that will make their kids left safe?' Trump: 'There are problems. We don’t do as well as a lot of other nations, and those nations use nothing.'" Below is a photo of Trump standing at a podium.

Make sure your family’s vaccines are up to date. These fools may wind up revoking access to important ones.

Trickle-Down Economics clearly isn't working, so I think it's time we try Piñata Economics where we beat the rich with sticks until the wealth is redistributed

Fun fact: Being antiwar is actually the moral default position.

It's not for antiwar demonstrators to justify their position, it's up to the pro-war people to justify theirs.

This will affect no one’s opinion because the issue was never actually real violence. It was the designation of “violent” to justify violent repression.

Our state sanctioned violence against anything that pricks the delusion…

As Max Weber defined the modern state as a community that successfully claims a monopoly over violence within a geographical area, which required it to have legitimate and legal authority.
Ours is a oligarchic kakistocracy.

Bruh, white folks are fucking terrifying! Seriously, nobody does HATE like them. When they target you, they go all in. Bigoted folks in other ethnicities and cultures are just amateurs compared to white folks. When white folks hate you, they make it systemic and they won't stop until you're buried.

Vanc mornings!

i think paens to "dignity" and economic opportunity miss the mark - the information environment people in these communities are in is basically 100% conservative propaganda.

i’d like to see an outlet that doesn’t mention bitcoin without also always mentioning that cryptocurrency is undoing everything we’ve ever done to lower global temperatures (which was already not enough)

Trump could have kept getting away with crimes and maintained the illusion he’s a canny businessman, but he got so mad that Obama laughed in his face that he’s going to spend the rest of his life losing money in court. lmao.

Photo of the Black physicist Robert Thornton & Albert Einstein, with quotation from Einstein's reply to Thornton's 1944 letter "“I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and philosophy of science. So many people today—and even professional scientists—seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is—in my opinion—the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth” (Albert Einstein letter to Robert A. Thornton, December 7th, 1944)"

A favorite quotation on this...

an article called "Police spending has 'no consistent correlation' with lower crime rates, new Canadian study says". under the headline the subhead reads: “I think a lot of people simply assume that more money for the police will mean safer communities,” said co-author Akwasi Owusu-Bempah. “We’re demonstrating that that’s not the case.”. under the subhead is a photo of a street in toronto with a police cruiser blocking traffic and yellow caution tape stretched across the street

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. — Carl Sagan

Classic playbook tactic.

This Iowa thing turned me around. A rapist who sold top secret documents to our enemies, condemned hundreds of thousands of Americans to die of COVID while babbling about bleach, and openly muses about dating his daughter is just the guy we need. Should've listened to those diner guys in the NYT.

'Even if you vote and then pass away, it's worth it': Trump urges Iowans to vote | CNN Politics In Indianola, Iowa, on Sunday, former President Trump encouraged Iowans to caucus even if they’re ‘sick as a dog’, saying even if they vote and then pass away, “it’s worth it.”

Trump urges sick Iowans to caucus in subfreezing cold with elderly voters. Even if they die, it will be "worth it," he says. www.cnn.com/videos/polit...

Alil DIA coolness and foolishness

Bagels. Delicious. And the promise of ‘everything.’

MoCAD is so good (museum of contemp art) Detroit. Not that any of us should stop making to goto a museum… but hey… every once in awhile. (They have a great cafe too)
