When you claim masks don't work you are really saying that 1) you are utterly ignorant of medical science and 2) you are a fool who is willing to spread government propaganda.

The government, under both Trump & Biden, does not want people to wear masks as seeing people in masks is evidence that they failed in handling Covid. Those who ignorant of medical science are most likely to fall for this. Don't believe the anti-mask propaganda.

It was not funny for Jon Stewart to mock people for wearing masks. Unfortunately many liberals have joined conservatives in denying science re infectious diseases. #Medsky www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Anyone know what is going on with Med-mastodon? It has been down for about a day but someone on Reddit claims it was shut down. If it was shut down, is it possible to transfer old follow data and posts to another account? I can see my old account on Mastodon social but can't sign into it. #Medsky

TNR's listing of the nine worst Trump scandals of 2025. Good list but why isn't it a top ten list to include continued support for genocide in Gaza? newrepublic.com/post/204659/...

It looks like blue smoke will be released over the Big House any minute now with Kyle Whittingham reportedly offered a five year contract to be the next University of Michigan head football coach. #GoBlue

Republicans on social media insult me when we disagree on most issues, with no expectation that I'd vote for them. Democrats insult me when we disagree on most issues yet they think I should be voting for them.

DNC decided not to release their report on what went wrong in 2024. Perhaps this means it is an honest report and Democratic leaders would rather lose than make the necessary reforms. More people need to vote for alternatives to the duopoly parties. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

We don't need a library for Joe Biden. His legacy as Senator & President includes the Iraq war, Patriot Act, mass incarceration, debt crisis, genocide, hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths & many more injured after he broke his campaign promises re Covid. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/u...

If Harris had won she would be at the Army-Navy game today bragging about the lethality of their football teams.

RootsAction report blames loss by Harris to her going right, similar to Clinton's loss. Agree but I'd stress the pro-war/genocide views of both to a greater degree than they did based on post-election polls and studies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Genocide prevention experts slam recent remarks from Hillary Clinton denying the genocide in Gaza. truthout.org/articles/gen...

Just some of the many ways establishment Democrats enabled Trump to win and do what he is now doing. www.commondreams.org/opinion/corp...

We should oppose genocide and endless wars because of their inherent evil, but even for those who don't care, it has ramifications at home. US foreign policy leads to increased censorship to cover up reports of war crimes and to suppress dissent...

Threads and BlueSky need a function where you can block not just a person but everyone who likes a particular post.

Establishment Democrats complaining that leftists don't vote for them because of purity tests makes no more sense than complaining that Republicans don't vote for them due to purity tests. These are different groups with different views & Democrats are far closer to Republicans than to leftists.

We would not be in this mess with Trump if more Democrats had protested the neocon foreign policy, attacks on civil liberties and politicalization of public health (while ignoring medical recommendations re Covid) under Biden/Harris.

Democrats lose so many elections because, despite different rhetoric, centrist Democrats and Republicans are controlled by the same donors & have almost the same policies...

With war criminal Hillary Clinton denying the genocide in Gaza and now claiming young people believe this due to what she claims are false videos on TikTok, it is a good time to remember how the Clintons have always been the best politicians money can buy.

Antisemitism has become a meaningless term when someone like Ms. Rachel makes the list for demanding that everyone stops killing children.

Much of the evil done by Trump is possible due to by overreach by Bush/Cheney, Obama & Biden, including presidential extrajudicial kill lists. Democrats used to oppose the actions of Bush /Cheney but went out to brunch when similar was done by Obama & Biden. www.levernews.com/trumps-kill-...

People keep posting pictures of Donald Trump falling asleep as if it is a bad thing. I see it as moments when the world is a little safer. We need him to sleep even more.

Hillary Clinton lies about videos exposing war crimes in Gaza being made up. This is also why Clinton has supported censorship of the internet for years. She understands the dangers to war criminals like her when people see what is happening.

I hope that the Epstein files provide evidence against Trump but I'm not optimistic. I think back to Bush & the National Guard scandal. Every time it appeared we'd have undeniable evidence to discredit Bush before everyone, something would happen to enable to him to appear innocent to his followers.

🗣️ Trump is killing people at sea with powers created by Dick Cheney and expanded by Barack Obama.The kill list has survived three presidents. It will survive a fourth unless someone stops it.

War crimes under Trump are an extension of US imperialism. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The rise of the machines, a little different than in the movie. Grok says it would kill every Jewish person on the planet to save Elon Musk's brain. futurism.com/future-socie...

Obama, and later Biden, gave Trump the power to do what he does. Too many Democrats were out to brunch while a handful on the left were protesting such things.

Mass incarceration *is* an economic justice issue. It's no coincidence that the poorest & most vulnerable communities are also the most policed.

Hegseth should be tried for war crimes. There is also a long list of others who should be tried, in both parties. www.democracynow.org/2025/12/1/sp...

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have many things in common, including that all are war mongers but have supporters who are totally oblivious to this and deny it.

My stock response to those who try to get me to vote for their party. Works for both Republicans & Democrats: I will not support a party which supports endless wars & genocide, suppresses civil liberties & democracy & ignores science to defend their leader's mishandling of Covid.

The Trump administration is talking about changing policy based on invented claims of vaccine deaths in children. Meanwhile both the Trump and Biden administrations failed to respond adequately to actual, significant numbers of deaths and chronic illness from Covid. #Medsky

The evidence does not support claims from Vinay Prasad re vaccines causing deaths in children. #Medsky www.statnews.com/2025/11/29/c...

Both parties have been supporting endless wars, genocide, authoritarianism & dismantling public health. We will not get out of this mess until more people realize the problem is the duopoly and not just the other political party.

Not necessarily the best analysis of the prospects of a peace deal but I thought I'd share a gift copy as it is interesting and behind the paywall at Puck News. puck.news/jared-kushne...

Biden put a hedge fund manager in charge of Covid with a strategy of allowing Covid to spread out of control to please short term business interests. It was not a good long term plan as Long Covid is costing the global economy 1 trillion dollars a year. #Medsky www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/lon...

Voting for the lesser evil is utterly discredited after Biden after he moved the country far to the right & hardened establishment Democrats into supporters of endless wars, genocide, censorship, mass surveillance, militarized police & medical misinformation to allow Covid to spread out of control
