Notorious pro-vaxxer and pro-masker. Famously unfair to pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, and the Toronto Star. Weary of all these death threats with so little follow-through. https://www.dlsph.utoronto.ca/faculty-profile/fisman-david-n

Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power. This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

This hypocrisy so maddening and SO common in wellness woo world. Basically: conflicts evil, but OK for them to profit from lies & unproven BS? Huh? Trump's surgeon general pick criticizes others' conflicts but profits from wellness product sales www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

compare and contrast

Watch this and pass it on. This is state thuggery, call them the Stasi, the Gestapo, NKVD--this is what dictators do. It's horrifying to hear this story.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Just to be clear, you think the guy holding a military parade in Washington to celebrate his own birthday is going to be cool with free and fair elections in 2026

Am wheezing and crying

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/

the "there are only two genders" freaks are the exact same guys who wanna marry robots

Good news that’s not getting enough airtime: democracies of the world are uniting, and Canada is doing what Canada has always done: calmly forming relationships with other democracies to grow science funding, our economy and security. The latest: financialpost.com/news/eu-seek... #CanadaStrong

What country is this?

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

A Comprehensive Accounting of Trump’s Culture of Corruption

💥 BREAKING: Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches and destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine. The hatches appear to have been opened by remote control, again.

This is so high camp, I absolutely love it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSug...

Elegantly put by Sebastian Boyd:

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

Modern dating sucks. Bring back medieval dating. I wanna be shipped off to marry a prince to solidify a political alliance before being exiled to an island, escaping, and poisoning a bunch of my family members

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

The end of the American era in science has begun. Only we can stop the slide, but only if we act up.

Some of y’all can’t handle 2 high agency Maysles going at it and it shows.

We have an official ruling

Due to global warming, Meltdown May is now five days longer.
