Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Opinion | The last 80 years have brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to the US, Canada, and Western Europe. It's time that we ended it.

Oh, you’re one of those kinds of liberals who can’t handle others having a slightly different perspective than you. Super helpful when we should be uniting. And not normalizing anything the new regime does.

Heather Cox Richardson already does this but she’s not a political leader. This really needs to happen.

A gentle ribbing is normalizing insane, dangerous behavior.

@aoc.bsky.social We’d like your help organizing a March on Washington to ensure protester safety and secure permits. We’re aiming for a Saturday at least two weeks out to allow for travel planning.

So what is your strategic thinking behind attempting to alienate someone fully sympathetic to your cause? How will you measure success?

Wow, I’m as far left as functioning members of society get. You’ve convinced me that the other guy was rightβ€”you’re an agent of division, not inclusion.

You’re not included because we are talking about measuring temperatures and ice levels, while you’re talking about something completely different.

Her account appears to be real to me, and if so, I support her mission, though it's completely misguided in this case. What tells you that it's inauthentic?

Her feed is not what I expected; I don't think she's a troll, just confused about scientific data vs opinions.

Ask them what? The post is about data, not opinions. But your confusion explains a lot.

Oops, 25 years. Obama was an exception because he convincingly orated a leftist vision.
