“Natural immunity” (aka getting infected) is literally thousands of times riskier than vaccination. Getting vaccinated is not only FAR safer than getting infected, but unlike catching a disease, vaccination creates no risk of spreading a deadly virus to everyone you meet.

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

My thanks to our friends who have expressed concern over alarming news reports. However, Los Angeles is NOT a “war zone.” Protests in LA have been peaceful, except for isolated events that were deliberately provoked by the Federal government and amplified by irresponsible media.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.

The only question in American politics right now is are you for or against authoritarianism? Nothing else matters.

Can a producer for @lauracoates.com @cnn.com @cnn-news.bsky.social get in touch with me ASAP? Your guests are factually wrong on the law in California and this is dangerous. Press exempt from arrest per CA Penal Code 409.7. I negotiated language of the law. You need to correct this ASAP.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Just re-watched the 2010 animated film, How to Train Your Dragon. Was delighted and proud to notice the name of my former coworker, Ricardo Delgado, in the end credits. Throughout the film, you can see Ricard's talented hand in the genius, imaginative creature design.

Aggrieved whites pretending they only lost out because of "unfair advantages" to minorities is an old script. The Bakke ruling against racial quotas came after Allan Bakke was rejected by 12 different med schools. He sued the one that had a racial quota, arguing that and that alone kept him out.

Hall of Heroes. The vets who protested an authoritarian who dishonors their service and doesn't even understand the concept of service. Why didn't this get more coverage?

Eff this ICE clown's tears. - Why are ICE agents masked, no badges? - Why are ICE vehicles unmarked? - Why armed to the gills? - Why is ICE endangering bystanders? - Why are ICE agents snatching & zip-tying children? Hold a presser instead of hiding behind a pity video. 📺 bsky.app/profile/marc...

6 June 1936 | A Czech Jewish girl, Eva Steindlerová, was born. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Theresienstadt Ghetto on 16 October 1944 with her mother Gertruda. They were both most probably murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
