He’s doing a **backdoor vaccine ban** where it’s effectively defunded and delayed too late so no one can get it.

Yes! And, anyone who claims race science is real & correct & that race has any biological or scientific basis in reality (obviously a sociological, cultural, political & historical ofc) I am going to tear to shreds. As, it has been proven absolutely false & is the root of the most vile crimes ever.

They have become a far right rag that is used to sanewash the most vile things ever & I’ve been saying this for 2+ years since they began going hard on lies on trans ppl (always canaries in the coal mine).
They will only get worse & worse. The new Daily Mail.
By design, by MAGA mgmt and owners.

I’d say more the opposite, but you really need to curate you feed. I get new things daily.

MMB done by their “Midnight Death Panels” which just happened. Sounds good to me. We know virality and can go around them.

No it’s worse. They ENJOY hurting those in need. Remember these politicians are largely SNPs (Sociopaths, Narcissists and Psychopaths) who are only comfortable with an artificial hierarchy where they are crushing those beneath them.

Labour are the new Tories and at best I see them dragged to change it after seeing the disaster it becomes. The only change in Gaza is because **they’re following Trump’s lead** because he was deeply offended he basically had a spy for Netanyahu in his cabinet, not out of any matter of principle.

Look, we only have one life. You have the chance to start fighting back or just roll over & let something horrific like this nation has never seen happen right now. We all still die in the end. She has the chance to stand up and make a huge difference. Be afraid of squandering that chance.

Very much so. And as a visual reminder to everyone, this is what RFK Jr truly is: Same thing, different font.

Which they admit later in the article only now was it actually forced by any government in any capacity and it was done in anti-wokeness as draconian and universal as North Korea 🇰🇵 where they literally erase women and POC in everything.
Which is seen as fine bc the rage machine pre-justified it. 🤬

This is the most textbook case of sanewashing fascism I’ve EVER seen omfg. None of that was ever forced even in the most extreme chronically online corners of the internet. I think chest feeding was in one field in one uk form ever & the rage machine made it to be universal government tyranny.

This is why HEALTH FRAUD (by wellness grifters) which endangers public health should be treated as a crime.
Without having law to prevent this, they’re allowed to occupy a space to make money on snake oil based on lies and everyone is harmed by it.
comment in response to

Yes, exactly. Talk is cheap and actions are reality.
RFK Jr is literally on the pro-sickness and pro-disease side of things. He is a grifter who is totally fine with his actions harming and killing people. I dare anyone to prove me wrong.
His actions have consistently proven that.

Sis! (I'm 🏳️⚧️ too). TRAPPIST-1g may have liquid water on it's surface, run it through AI, with a earth-like atmosphere (or at least density) that might make it quite similar! I see it as a possible earth analogue! The data is limited ofc so we'll see!

Unfortunately they'll still vote for him and the GOP every future election, too much sunk cost fallacy, seeing politics as their cultural identity and the rest of them think like a cult.

He’s out to privatize or destroy everything

Just remember: The purpose of many of these nominations is to destroy the institutions they’re set to run & to make the language behind what they’re called, meaningless.
RFK Jr, in this case is doing his job fantastically. Getting it to make people sicker, while he eats as unhealthy as possible.

This means a strict right to privacy, bodily self autonomy, right to food, shelter, healthcare, education, etc.

3. Strict anti-authoritarian laws baked into a constitution from the start of its creation. This means not just freedom of religion but freedom FROM religion (as flavors of it always pop up that are authoritarian).

2. Strict inability to have bribery. Ideally including publicly funding all elections. None of what we see here today would have been possible without K Street, Citizens United, Quid Pro Quo, etc. In fact, one can argue what you see today was an inevitability, given unlimited bribery (aka lobbying).

No there are ways: 1. Athenian Democracy (aka Renaissance Democracy) which is full / partial sortition (like “Jury Duty”) where people are randomly chosen to serve their country for a limited window of time. Virtually impossible to randomly conspire. It also mitigates the narcissist/sociopath issue.

Thank you for all on this. I believe science is at the core of human existence & survival. It’s almost sacred to me its preservation & perseverance.
In that I want to pass on this warning ⚠️ on what you are up against.

And most people DO NOT KNOW HOW AND WHY PEER REVIEW IS NECESSARY and that JUST BECAUSE THE CDC DID IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS PEER REVIEWED.
Scammers and grifters saw what was done to trans people due to poor public scientific and media literacy and are out to weaponize it to persecute more groups.
comment in response to
post
As a trans person I want all to know, being that it’s the CDC, it can release an utter fraudulent study or one that “says the scientific consensus is unknown, therefore we must do X (horrible thing) to (persecuted group)” & people will buy it due to this logical fallacy. Cass Report was the same.

Might be better to make a new NATO parallel (say Western Defense League (WDL)) and just not invite the US, Hungary and maybe one or two others to it.
Have it function identically in every single way, and just let the US be left behind.

At this point they’re just straight up doing white supremacy and calling it anti-DEI.
It is a fraud to say DEI promotes inferior people when it is designed to give overlooked people simply a chance to compete. Then they lowkey say that anyone that’s not white is going to be inferior. And fire them.

@aoc.bsky.social your compatriots are now serving Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.
A “third way” needs to be done as this means we’re basically a one-party system now.

Anti-DEI is anti-minority.
And that is a crime.
I will repeat this forever.

Yes, and what i'm saying i've barely seen discussed ever - the psychology on how malignant those in power can be, how we do have the resources for everyone, how they choose otherwise, why they choose otherwise. And, until this is fixed, how things will never get better. This one guy did, once:
comment in response to
post
I genuinely think athenian/renaissance/venetian style democracy, with partial or full legislators via sortition (aka random like jury duty) IS the solution to this as, from the numbers, it'll bring down the % of politicians with malignant conditions from 90% to the 2-5% of the population they are.

Literally address the power grab and destruction of those with NPD and ASPD and you'll get that future utopia in 50 years. We have the tech and resources to make it, they just charm the pants off people, then come in and mess everything up.
comment in response to
post
One thing people also aren't aware is that Conduct Disorder is basically "Baby ASPD". ASPD & NPD are definitely not being taken seriously despite almost our entire political class and those in power being that. I only became aware of it after a roommate's bf moved in, unprovoked, and was a menace.

These people would rather rule over a pile of ashes, so they had power over others, than share paradise as equals with them.
That’s why these are malignant mental conditions in the DSM-5, typically demanding great amounts of treatment, so they can stop harming all those around them & themselves.
comment in response to
post
Psychopathy, sociopathy & narcissism to the highest levels.
And they’re drawn to seek power which is why so many in power end up being with any or a mix of them.
As part of the conditions they feel the need to create an artificial hierarchy in order to place themselves over others and harm them.

Can you elaborate? I thought there’s no visa required to leave the us. Are they meaning they’ll just block people who they eyeball as trans?
comment in response to

I agree fully and think she is wrong. But also think removing him will place a target on it, so maybe it’s better to leave it alone (for now).

Anti-DEI is Anti-minority.
And, that was a crime, last I checked.
I’m going to be repeating that for the crowds forever.

Not shocking but unsettling. I tried to get through a few minutes of Thiel on Rogan (vomit) and he started going on rants of calling the poors “parasites” (when the billionaires are the parasites of the world, the irony) which gives a glimpse on how they view the world. Absolute malice.
