Last year, on a transatlantic cruise, the captain said this to me: Do you know what cures racism? Travel. Because travel introduces you to people from other countries. Look at this map👇🏿👇🏾👇🏽👇🏼👇🏻👇 You can travel around your neighborhood to meet people from other countries💝🇺🇲 I'm there: Lebanese/Hungarian

Pedro Molina (@pxmolina.bsky.social) on how racists distract.

I was wondering when Hegseth was going to get to these rat bastards.

Every elected Dem should do this. Absolute #FloodTheZone with mockery of Trump. The more folks do it, the more ludicrously it oh-so-rightly appears to be.

👇🎯🧵

Mockler: Maybe the most humiliating thing I've ever seen for the United States. Donald Trump is returning our country to a pre constitutional order where you can give gifts and receive gifts from other countries/companies, and he gives them things in return.

Police duties include preserving public peace and order. Protecting life, property & citizens' constitutional rights. We are all outraged that has not been happening.

When do we see the arrests of ICE goons. Everything they do is in violation of the Constitution and local laws in every state. If this is not lip service, we should start seeing arrests or firings yesterday.

Here in Indiana the sheriff’s department is chomping the bit to go the other direction and collect everyone they can.😡😡😡😡😡 Fascist nazi jerks!

More of this nationwide please!

"President Donald Trump’s administration pledged more than $22 million in aid. But the US Navy’s two largest medical ships, the USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort, are currently docked at stateside ports."

It’s fascinating that mainstream media insists that this is a point that can have two sides or should be debated. It’s murder, full stop.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

The federal vaccine committee has voted to end the recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B. This committee has zero credibility and the process for this vote was chaotic. Please instead follow guidance from expert organizations The American Academy of Pediatrics.

Note on Aaron Siri. He uses the self-reports on VAERS for some of his evidence. attorney Aaron Siri and the organization he represents, the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), quote reactions and data reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in their arguments.

Seriously, dude. Tweeting is NOT the answer when you’re a U.S. senator. Maybe try using some of the tools you actually have to fix the disaster you created by voting for RFK Jr.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice. 📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

Today is a dark day for American science and biomedicine. My comments in @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

Next Mr. Siri turns to another of his usual trope, the claim vaccines are not tested. Reminder: this was addressed here. vaxopedia.org/2024/07/22/t...

Mr. Siri correctly pointed out that vaccine uptake increased. He does not tell his audience that diseases rates have increased, because I suspect he does not see harms from diseases as important.

Mentions that he does not make money suing vaccine manufacturers, and says it's because they have "effective immunity". Which is incomplete - they can be sued. Reminder: he gets substantial amounts of money from anti-vaccine organizations. That's his COI.

#ACIP invites anti-vaccine lawyer Aaron Siri to present on the schedule, since apparently they could not find any vaccine experts to do that. Apparently they invited Drs. Offit and Hotez who refused, maybe because Malone called them "industry experts."

Of course it is possible to stop the spread of airborne pandemic diseases! The #CovidInquiry suggests ✅ Better Government communication of airborne risks ✅ Lockdowns can be avoided with good leadership & adequate preparedness UKHSA is asking everyone to ✅ Open windows for better ventilation

Paul Duginski really nailed it with this political cartoon. Follow the money, it always leads you to the corruption.

This is fine. Just a flu. Immunity debt from 2020 lockdowns. Wash your hands. OR This is not fine. Viral infections are bad. Immunity debt is bullshit. Immunity theft and co-infection with COVID make things worse. Viruses can evolve increased virulence. Clean the air. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Ukraine was not told what happened. "Our task now is to obtain complete information about what has been said in Russia and what other reasons Putin has found to prolong the war and to pressure Ukraine, to pressure us, our independence," Volodymyr Zelensky said in an evening address from Kyiv"

JD Vance Munich Speech has become the Vance Doctrine. Actionable policy which includes and prescribes direct interference into EU democratic processes by supporting far right and Eurosceptic parties. If this is not the final wake up call Europe, I don't know what is.

Genius!

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.

“Rubio’s absence is deafening. If the Secretary of State isn’t at the table for war-ending talks, something is very wrong.” Putin gets Europe. Rubio gets his war in Venezuela, hoping for regime change in Cuba and beyond.

They're not hiding it!

What struck me most on Europe wasn’t the focus on value, freedom of speech etc - again, very similar to Vance’s Munich speech - but how activist it is. This is about directly trying to influence what is going on in Europe:

I’ll go through it in order, but what all Europeans need to read are pages 25-27 on “Promoting European Greatness”.

Let’s look at those priorities: . “the affairs of other countries are our concern only if their activities directly threaten our interests” . Focus on Western Hemisphere . nations should prioritize their interests . “days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over”

Pretty much the only thing that can prevent this is a healthy chunk of the Republican Party standing up in the next few days to tell Trump that we won't be a Putin-client nation. And the question is whether a healthy chunk of that party exists.
