Keep sharing this on all platforms--it's actually reaching people outside the bubble. My neighbor--who is completely apolitical and NEVER talks politics--was RANTING about it. She said she saw part of it on social media and then sought out the whole clip (she didn't trust clicking on the post).

Some claimed cancer rates "exploded" in 2021 correlating to the Covid vaccine rollout. The official US numbers are now in. "Disruptions in health care use early in the pandemic resulted in incidence declines in 2020, but 2021 incidence returned to prepandemic levels." "Turbo cancer" is a myth.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried. They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

Source at VA tells me an emergency data request went out demanding info any on relationships the 2nd largest Fed department and largest healthcare system in the US has with Harvard. We know there are significant research connections. This won't hurt Harvard. It will kill veterans. They don't care.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," immigrants, and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Never forget: Trump was handed an awesome economy. He was handed the best post-Covid economy of ANY industrialized nation. He was handed an economy with employment way up, consumer spending way up, the markets way up, & inflation down. And in only 13 weeks, he’s fucked it all up.

Trump is a tyrant. Which means he’s a bully. And all bullies are cowards. You don’t appease bullies. You don’t coddle bullies. You don’t back down to bullies. You stand up to bullies. You punch bullies in the nose. Stand up to Trump the tyrant/bully/coward. Punch him in the nose.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

The answer to this question is always YES. Every extreme event today occurs over a background of changed conditions that dynamically affect temperature, rainfall, and more. The real question is, “by how much did climate change make this event worse”? That’s the info attribution science provides.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP. There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.
