Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

Monday.

This is getting some attention, so I’m going to post the Danish PM’s original Facebook message for those of you that haven’t seen it yet:

Again, a *venture capitalist* at the *top of the military* was the one *who led the mission* to get Maduro.

I’d like to also point out that our Education system is NOT equipped to deal with the influx of children requiring special education needs. Like NOT at all, as the current ones are struggling to get special education assistants to help them as is It’s disastrous for public education in so many ways

USA: "A 10-month-old infant from Enid, Oklahoma is fighting for her life after falling critically ill with the flu and COVID." "Mariela Hulsey, who was previously healthy, is now in the pediatric intensive care unit... receiving life support following a collapsed lung. In the latest update."

~ 500,000 journal articles later, there’s about a half a million reasons to adapt to living with COVID by implementing logical and evidence-based protections against this novel virus, and there… 1/4

How many babies were born with developmental damage because Dr Henry misled their mothers about how they could prevent an infection during pregnancy? Medicine has lost its moral compass. Individuals have stepped up - but by tolerating this, the profession as a whole has shown it is not special.

Super 🤔🧵. "First (& for several reasons), it's a lot easier for people to conceptualize actions they take to make something happen vs. something they do to make something not happen." [Like a vaccine]

Australia identified a “Super-K” flu strain (influenza A/H3N2 subclade K) that quickly became dominant, extending the flu season into summer. It spread to the US, UK, Canada, Japan and nearly 40 other countries. Australia recorded 457,906 cases in 2025, a record since 2001. archive.md/kYliV

Yeah. In context of known mechanisms of disease, the histology etc. The known effects on adult brains, which are well described now… This study clearly supports prevention of C19 infection during pregnancy. #MedSky

University of Chicago tracked 31 people before and after COVID. Their T cells responded worse to flu, shingles, and staph after infection. This was due to impaired metabolism but partially fixed with metformin or ubiquinol. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I meet a lot of pregnant women at work. A grand total of 0 (ZERO!) have been advised to get a COVID vaccine in pregnancy. I would say the majority have bought into the misinformation that the vaccine is dangerous in pregnancy, which is the opposite of the truth.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

When the Globe and Mail editorial board is warning that the Venezuela invasion represents a threat to Canada you know how serious the menace is from the gangster fascist regime.

"this is not a military action for democracy, or international order or human rights, or any of the rationales (sometimes thin, admittedly) that the United States has marshalled in past interventions. "The motivation is simple, and ancient: empire."

This highlights the critical urgency of retracting junk clinical trials like the one below immediately once identified. Instead, the priority is to protect influential medical types from embarrassment, no matter the cost to the rest of us. The Wakefieldization of the medical literature continues.

Poor kids. It’s heartbreaking. 💔

The kids are not ok.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio with George Stephanopoulos of ABC’s This Week Read this ⬇️

"Overall, 14 % of toddlers in the pre-pandemic group were at high risk for developmental delays on the BSID-III compared with 51.6 % in the SARS-CoV-2 exposed group." 😭

Extremely important study, with very concerning implications for the future. The COVID generation: the neurodevelopmental consequences of in-utero COVID-19 exposure. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How we respond to the most dependent members of our society reveals how we think about community, care, accessibility, and humanity. This is what I mean when I say intolerance of children works to your own detriment.

"This study reports that in utero SARS-CoV-2 viral exposure results in decreased cognitive skills in toddlers mediated by structural differences in the regions of the newborn brain." Two similar studies published this month - #PedsSky + #IDSky + #MedSky. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There's something about recent events that feel like national leaders are becoming indistinguishable from those companies that buy other companies and strip them for parts and personal profit. I feel like Maduro (or VP) just sold Venezuela to US, itself also being stripped for parts.

What could go wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

1/3: @scalzi.com, just reading The Collapsing Empire, and reflecting on the whole "human tendency to ignore or deny facts" until it's too late bit (p280). With H5N1 and avoidable, collapse-level mass casualties on the horizon, I have a PDF slide deck that would benefit from your comms advice.

From the other place.

Not coping well w/ the events of the world. My therapist says empathy, just like anxiety, has to have boundaries. Otherwise both spin out of control. He said empathy’s boundary is compassion & compassion is actionable. We’re not meant to physically FEEL the pain of EVERYTHING around us. It’d kill us

STUDY 2: "Children exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in utero display lower cognitive abilities than children who had not been exposed." 2/2 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Michael Gibson (Thiel Fellowship and 1517 Fund) just posted: “Someone should pitch Rubio on a charter city in Venezuela and Cuba.” As if he only just thought of this now. 1/ x.com/william_blak...

Not one country summoned US ambassador.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

They can't even wait a day... www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

men are way too emotional to be president

Mark Carney turns off geolocation on phone just in case

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Something our columnist David Climenhaga wrote in November

This is all great news lately ... but the framing is wrong. Correct framing: Preventing and minimizing the impact of viral infections reduces risk of dementia (and many other chronic conditions).

I have been thinking that the major divide in Canadian politics now is really wrestling with Trump’s US or wholly embracing it, and now Pierre Poilievre and Melissa Lantsman are praising Trump’s illegal attack on Venezuela while Danielle Smith pushes separation. It’s a really dangerous time.

Idk who is speaking at the president's press conference right now but they are saying this proves that if Trump sees a problem, he takes action. So

The various American editorial boards cheering this on should have to name a single instance of "regime change" working out for the country being invaded since 1945. Even one.

Venezuelan defence minister calls on people to resist "invading forces." www.eluniversal.com/politica/223...

Very glad I created a list where I've been adding Canadian journos & news outlets on here. Suggest you do the same. #ElbowsUp

Worth remembering that a year ago the White House's official on the record justification for placing tariffs on Canada is that they are necessary to protect American lives from our drugs. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

I can’t believe the Nobel Peace Prize winner and the FIFA Peace Prize winner would do this.

I sure would hate to be an oil-rich country whose sovereignty the US doesn't recognize within easy striking distance of US soil. That would be scary!

Trump makes it clear this is about oil. (After the oil companies helped buy him the election)
