This is a good thread on a group of obvious scammers that are — somehow — insanely popular among people who (correctly!) regarded QAnon with contempt

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

One of several reasons I have trouble approaching these trans political issues with much “nuance” is because once you even briefly ignore any of the “debates” around minors’ healthcare, the reality is shockingly simple which is they, mostly the entirety of the GOP, is coming after these families…

Well, going to my town's protest today. Honestly pretty nervous, but that's just a general thing these days.

I think if there's going to be real change the fbi will have to be disbanded by the next administration. They could be replaced by a federal police force with offices across the country, like the Italian military police.

Not for nothing I've just started Rick Atkinson's Revolutions trilogy and I think if the Democrats could frame their opposition explicitly in the language of the Revolution it could be more immediately palatable.

I saved 2 box turtles from roads so far this year. Neither appreciated it. Today's turtle even hissed at me.

This needs to be spread everywhere. People need to be informed that an NYT author spent years on this story, and turned it into essentially a puff piece for somebody who shared CSAM to millions of people. People who work at the NYT should never be allowed to forget this happened.

The book it's based on is quite good as well. The Good Shepherd by C. S. Forester. Movie is very accurate to my limited knowledge.

I'm beginning to think that believing in any conspiracy theory is an instant sign of irredeemable stupidity.

the problem with humiliatingly obvious scams is that anyone who has fallen for one will refuse to believe that they have. this is true both of people who voted for trump and people who regularly give money to automated accounts which show up in their DMs to claim they live in gaza.

backing all the way back out of the biden cancer coverup conspiracy-mongering because it's fucking deranged and unsubstantiated, manufactured out of whole cloth, qanon-style, by people who are not cancer researchers nor oncologists nor even doctors and whose interest in it is aesthetically political

Great read, captures a lot of what I've been thinking. tl;dr - patient groups will need to lead the way, and the physicians and researchers who interact with the directly need to start telling the story

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law: 1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

I was raised a Quaker for some years and never saw anyone wear that hat. In fact we wrote a petition as kids to the oat company to change their branding.

extremely bizarre to see otherwise smart people boosting very obviously fake accounts posing as Gaza relief - that's not an obscure cause, you can easily donate and boost to one of many good, existing organizations (I've given to the one below, for example): www.pcrf.net
