they just slapped a surgeons general warning on RFK like he’s a pack of cigarettes

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

In my professional experience people start talking this way when they’ve received news of a terminal diagnosis. Often hospice care has started, which doesn’t necessarily mean death is imminent. It just means there’s a timeline and symptoms to palliate.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

We cancelled Christmas this year, at least the commercial aspects. We will bake, we will gather, we will sing and we’ll worship. But we will not shop. Even my elementary kid is on board.

No hospital, university, corporation will ever love you. They may need you and they may like you if you make them look good. They will pay you (usually badly) for your labor. You are an employee. Never forget that.

Anyone who opposes Trump immediately becomes transgender

“framing science as a debate to be won makes it easy to paint established scientists as opponents who must be overcome”

An interesting thesis and suggestion of a solution

“The University of Texas system is honored that our flagship — the University of Texas at Austin — has been named as one of only nine institutions in the U.S. selected by the Trump administration for potential funding advantages under its new Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” Kevin P. Eltife, the chairman of the University of Texas Board of Regents, said in a statement on Thursday. “We enthusiastically look forward to engaging with university officials and reviewing the compact immediately.”

Newsom

A tale of two states and Trump's shakedown of higher ed:

TEXAS: Oh goody, yes, we love to strip away academic freedoms to serve Trump's wishes.

CALIFORNIA: Eat shit. Any university who signs the letter will lose state funding.

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded.

“CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

Oh well.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

The American people are smart. They know Trump and Republicans control government and Democrats do not.

LAST MONTH SENATE REPUBLICANS CHANGED THEIR DUMB RULES TO ALLOW A MAJORITY VOTE. Then can do so again.

GOP Senate can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Each day my resentment grows deeper toward the Americans who put these pieces of dogshit into office.

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Are we great yet?

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour.

I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."
