Its interesting that regular people can be charged for "standing by" during a shooting, but cops can't (thinking of Uvalde) www.wzzm13.com/article/news...

"COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden." "People vaccinated against COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer long-COVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study"

Everybody, Telegram is a scam, isn't as private or secure as Advertised. Pavel Durov is scamming people and shouldn't be trusted. Everybody, Whatsapp is a scam, Meta harvests metadata, contacts etc Zuckerberg is scamming people & shouldn't be trusted.

When leftists criticize the Democratic Party, party loyalists often complain it is hurting the party. We care about what is good for the country, not just the party...

Trump would have never won if Democrats allowed fair primaries instead of choosing candidates as terrible as Clinton and Harris. In both cases Trump won because large numbers of Democratic voters refused to vote for Clinton or Harris due to their pro war views.

Plus there was Clinton's decision to use her contacts to elevate Trump. Hillary Clinton, more than anyone else is responsible for us being stuck with Trump. Harris is responsible due to her support for genocide. Democrats are responsible for allowing such terrible candidates.

Brief Trump summary of the past weeks: - “Open the strait” - “Help us open the strait” - “We don’t need the strait open” - “Open the f’king strait or I destroy you all” - “We block the strait”

Blocking international shipping in international waters is a violation of international maritime law. Trump is turning the United States into a rogue nation.

GOD’S SUNDAY RECAP: Epstein trafficked Melania to Donald and we know this is true because she let her BFF get deported by ICE and she’s furious about it and telling everyone everything she knows.

Blockading a blockade is the work of a pure stable genius like no one has ever seen before. Only Donald Trump could have thought of this. It's like, "You think you can shoot at us? Well, we'll show you—we'll shoot ourselves!!" We should all have tears in our eyes.

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

Trump appears too stupid* to realise that if the US is exporting more of its oil than previous years (US now a net exporter) then the gas stations inside the US will have to spend more to get supplies. This raises pump prices for everyone inside the US. *Maybe he wants to funnel money to big oil

There is no freedom without privacy. Stop giving away your power. Stop using american techbroligarchs' platforms and software. Switch to GrapheneOS. Switch to Linux. Boycott google, meta, amazon, etc. disconnect.blog/getting-off-...

"This is NOT what America is about. America is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh" (Quoting grosdoriane.bsky.social )

"Why don't you condemn Hamas/Hezbollah as much as you condemn Israel? You must just hate Jews!" When Hamas and Hezbollah combined kill as many innocent people as Israel has just this year, I'll get right on it. In the meantime, false equivalencies are just genocide apologia with extra steps.

Brutal.

US exceptionalism at its best is thinking the US is under military rule (its not) and its citizens are helpless when other countries with *real* state police somehow seem to do more than phone calls.

The Iran war timeline: June 22, 2025: Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated" “The strikes were a "spectacular military success" Feb 28, 2026: "We are beginning a decisive operation." "This will be quick." Mar 2: "We will easily prevail."

A synagogue was bombed today. In Tehran. By Israel.

Picard ethics tip: The fact that a conflict has many sides does not imply that every side has merit.

I don't think those words mean what you think they mean...

We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

all of America's bravest elected Democrats jumping into action to post vaguely on social media about how somebody else should do something

Happy International War Crimes Day to those who celebrate it.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

This is hilarious because it implies that her husband DID call her while she was in space on the ISS to ask her help in looking for something. 💀🌌

Puppet Masters

A 1% annual wealth tax on billionaires in Illinois would, by itself, balance the budget. A 2% wealth tax on billionaires would pay for universal single payer healthcare for everyone in Illinois. Tax the billionaires.

It is insane that we live in a time where the US is announcing its intention to attack civilian and medical infrastructure - war desalination plants, electricity infrastructure, medical research institutes - all of which are certainly war crimes under IHL. This madness needs to stop.

The President of the United States is a war criminal. Fact, not opinion.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

How can one not admire history’s exquisite dark sense of humor? As part of a “delegation” of sanctioned Russian State Duma deputies visiting the United States, there was none other than the actual grandson of USSR's Vyacheslav Molotov, there to discuss a Trump–Putin pact.

If I were trying to build a national surveillance apparatus, one of the first things I'd do is outlaw foreign made network devices. And I wouldn't stop there. With Antifa classified as a terrorist organization, I'd exert control over those routers and take them offline. Just saying...

First Draft: So Now WE Are Using Human Shields? Israeli and US forces are embedding within civilian populations, a man accused of 'anger issues' will now lead DHS, and Trump is sending ICE agents to airports. Read today's 'First Draft' by @premthakker.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/israel-us-...

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The normalcy bias in this fucking country is just unbelievable. You can watch people get murdered, witness the constitution getting shredded by the day, hear the tech fascists say, in no uncertain terms, what kind of dystopian hellscape they’re working to create, and be like, oh, I’m sure it’s fine.

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?
