You want to talk about government efficiency? Every $1 spent on childhood immunizations in the US returns a savings of $11, thanks to preventing illnesses, and saving millions of lives.

The cruel medical experiment on a black pregnant woman in Georgia will finally come to an end. Adriana Smith was declared brain dead at 9 weeks pregnant after an ER sent her home with blood clots in her brain. The hospital kept her body alive due to Georgia’s abortion ban: 🧵

Though it isn’t obvious yet, Saturday will be seen as a turning point in history like the Germans‘ decision to resume submarine warfare in 1917, Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the Tet offensive in 1968.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

If you think there can be any kind of valid justification for deporting a child with cancer, with none of their meds, and interrupting their treatment through the chaos and trauma of that experience- I am begging you to reflect on where your humanity has gone because at some point you parted with it

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Many disabled people are afraid to speak out against medical neglect, trauma & mistreatment Why? The system is rigged against them. The complaint process is near impossible to navigate If they use social media, they invariably endure further abuse Gaslighting. Accusations. Infantilizing comments

We must be able to talk about the concerns disabled people have over assisted dying policies, without immediately assuming they want to take the right away from other people We want the right to live with dignity. That’s all We don’t want to be fodder for a eugenics program disguised as compassion

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

There's an increasing number of large 'leftist' influencers dunking on disabled people from this site over on X. One targeted me specifically. There's no solidarity with disabled people. We are in the midst of a huge eugenics moment, and most of the left is no better than the right:

“Functional medicine” was invented in the 1990s by Jeffrey Bland to sell dietary supplements and shot to fame by its poster boy, Mark Hyman. It is a marketing term designed to confuse patients, promote pseudoscience, and sow distrust in mainstream medicine. It is a scam.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Brief 🧵 Hi, everyone. I know so many people have been affected by the funding cuts to science in horrific ways. Sanaria, the company I am consulting for, has produced unprecedented progress in a highly effective malaria vaccine and is in major financial jeopardy because of these cuts.

"We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." ~ Carl Sagan

Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals: No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion. It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports. If it is, it’s not compassion. It’s eugenics 🧵

Good morning! We feel energized after yesterday’s #SaveCDC rally. To those who walked out—your courage lit a spark. Many CDCers want to act but feel caught between fear and “the rules.” That fear is real—and you’re not alone. But silence won’t save us. Tyranny creeps. Let’s keep pushing. 💚✊

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
