Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

It is unreasonable to expect me to not only ignore this illness but to keep my mouth shut about the most effective form of prevention. You deserve to protect yourself. The best defence from this illness is snug fitting K/N95 mask. Take care of each other. xo

I have an illness which is largely, not completely, but largely preventable. This illness has impacted my life to the point where I’ve lost my home, my job, my social life & hobbies. This illness also killed several friends as well as my parents. This illness has no cure. 1/2

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades and attention problems. "A major U.S. cohort study suggests long COVID in children may reach far beyond lingering symptoms, affecting how they learn, focus, and connect with friends at school."

When a sitting U.S. president makes insulting remarks about Canada and threatens its sovereignty, I’ll criticize the United States and its administration if I bloody well please. What happens in that country has a big impact in the world, so no, I won’t “stay in my own lane.”

“Masks don’t work.” We still hear this a lot, and it usually comes down to misunderstanding how masks actually work. Masks aren’t just tiny strainers. High-quality masks (like N95s) use electrostatic charge to attract and trap airborne particles, including those that carry viruses.

Masks reduce that exposure, and when both people mask, protection compounds. So no, it’s not that “masks don’t work.” It’s that not all masks, or how they’re used, work the same. For more information, visit our “Yes, We Continue Wearing Masks” page: whn.global/yes-we-conti... #CleanAir #Masking

In Sloviansk, anti-drone nets have been installed on public bus to protect against constant russian drone attacks. Imagine the blood‑chilling experience of going to work every morning under such circumstances,

Being 1000% clear, your immunocompromised friends (you have them, right? Well, you do now) weren’t happy with lockdown because we hate people and didn’t want to hang out. We miss lockdown because that’s when abled people acted like they cared if we died.

Research on COVID is being hampered by a lack of interest by publishers and funding, imo. Considering we are only about 7 years into a brand-new disease, we lost interest pretty quickly.

27 years since the Columbine High School massacre. 27 years of failing to protect our kids. 27 years without common-sense gun laws. I watched it as a student. Now it’s only gotten worse for our kids. We need an assault weapons ban.

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Linking attendance to grades when you willfully make them sick and don’t do ANYTHING to make life easier for them is fucking cruel. Read that on the radio. Turned the radio off to avoid this shit last night and here it is waiting for me on infoam. No attendance convos until the air is clean.

In a nutshell. 😊

This smart dog knows about politics, he literally gives a shit.😆😆

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Dear CNN, we do separate religion from our government. And as a major outlet, your job is to remind everyone exactly on that.

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027. The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. A dumbfuck, a pathological liar, a malignant narcissist, a traitor, a sexist, a racist, a career conman, a cheater, a serial rapist, a pedophile, a war criminal and a demented, incontinent octogenarian walk into a bar.

It's infuriating to read these sorts of arguments (that we need to force kids back) when nobody pays attention to the fact that chronic absenteeism is proven to be up due to increased illness associated with C19 and Long Covid! 😡 Precisely the same arguments that make safe schooling so hard in UK!

'"There's a new cohort of students who have come out of the pandemic who don't feel required to go," explained Bennett, the Nova Scotia-based director and lead researcher of Schoolhouse Institute, an independent consulting practice.' Maybe it's because kids are CONSTANTLY SICK? Covid's still here!

So they'll be mandating sufficient HEPA filtration in schools as well right? Because otherwise this sounds like punishing kids for catching covid in schools that are perfectly designed for spreading airborne disease.

What an excellent point Ali Vitali makes about the #MeToo movement perhaps being just a moment. We need to create a culture where victims are not afraid of speaking. No small task I know. #Epstein #Pinks #ProudBlue youtube.com/shorts/b-7-N...

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

The same way we’ve gotten thru the last 6 years: By wearing a well fitting mask wherever we can get or spread COVID, and never falling for the pervasive, overwhelming gaslighting—whether from friends or family, the media, the medical establishment, society at large, etc.—that it’s just a cold.

This is a key point about the ongoing pandemic (current tense!) that I wish more large liberal accounts on here would understand - *especially* health influencers

Pssssst. *Far-right authoritarians can be defeated.* Tell your friends. (And WELL DONE, HUNGARY.)

🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Opposition leader Péter Magyar WINS the election for prime minister of Hungary, defeating Putin and Trump’s ally Viktor Orbán. 🇭🇺

As someone who has finally written publicly about being raped twice, the story I am most terrified to tell involves a very powerful, wealthy, and incredibly connected white man. That fear is exactly how this culture survives. Do not ask me to tell it. I may never. The point is that it exists, too.

Curious why Melania Trump held a surprise press conference yesterday? Now it’s become clear. She was responding to close friend Amanda Ungaro whose husband introduced Melania to Trump, & is threatening to expose what she knows about Epstein, Melania & President Trump - who she called a pedophile.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Before the war in Iran, the average driver in the US spent around $1,900 a year on gas. We spend about $320 to power our EV by charging at home. Bonus: Our EV can also power our house during a blackout. (a lot of EVs have bidirectional charging capability.) leahy.substack.com/p/my-non-fos...

Heat batteries are a game changer for decarbonising heat. Polar Night Energy and Lahti Energia Oy have partnered to construct what is expected to become the world’s largest sand-based thermal energy storage system, to be built in Vääksy, Finland. www.environmentenergyleader.com/stories/worl...

As aside, this is one speech Melania didn’t plagiarize from Michelle Obama.
