UKMTO WARNING 063-26 UPDATE 001

Don’t give atropine to a tear gas or pepper spray victim. It’s an assault. It’s malpractice. Possibly homicide.

If any lawyers want to weigh in on #2 here that would be helpful!

"Platner Scandal" is trending. I might normally care, except I wrote him off from jump. Y'all enjoy wallowing in the mess you insisted on allowing because you don't listen to Black women, you don't vote like Black women, you've been outchea showing your ENTIRE behinds, and we tol-- nevermind.

“The result is a horror show for US science research. Not only is peer review made a secondary consideration, but the new rules would allow any federal agency to cancel any grant at any time based on the vague assertion that it isn’t in the “national interest.” 1/2 🧪 arstechnica.com/science/2026...

On another note, Iran is dictating the terms to us. Typically, if you’re winning, you don’t allow the losing side to dictate the terms.

Additional details on US strikes: Two Iranian boats were caught laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, senior US official said. The US military eliminated both IRGC vessels and also struck at a SAM site in Bandar Abbas that was targeting US warplanes.

Donald Trump promised the war in Iran would end with unconditional surrender. But he never said which country would do the surrendering.

Lest we forget: Obama secured the Iran deal without starting a war, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, or losing a single American life. But please, tell me more about how “toughness” requires body bags.

The worst part is that it appears he’s about to sign a deal that doesn’t even include the core issue that started this mess in the first place.

Trump on deal:

At least some US troops’ Memorial Day weekend leave has been canceled as a precaution, sources familiar with military planning.-NYP I also can confirm this through other sources

I’m not sure why people are starting to boycott now. Six mo ago Bari Weiss quashed a 60 min show on El Salvador’s CECOT prison because Trump admin wouldn’t comment. Myself (and others) called for boycott then. 60 min still gets 9 million viewers. But NOW a comedian is cancelled and you say boycott?
