This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Today, I visited a concentration camp memorial site barely more than a kilometer from where I went to high school. A few thoughts on the parallels between what happened in Germany back then, and what is happening in the US now. I think the parallels are as interesting as the differences. 1/

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

It still kills me that these assholes couldn’t wear a mask during COVID to save their grandma’s life, but they seem to manage just fine while kidnapping people off the street.

If 4.9 million kids with asthma is a national health priority, what does it mean when 5.8 million have Long Covid? Why is the #1 chronic condition in children being ignored?

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Again: the free speech stuff has never been about your freedom. It is always and only ever about theirs, and about forcing you to accept their behaviour in respectful silence, no matter how horrific it is. This is entirely compatible with e.g. the Met kettling you at a protest.

NIH & FDA's Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, & Vinay Prasad have all denied Long COVID, said those suffering are "lying fake disease grifters," & that LC researchers are scamming frauds. Now, Americans disabled by their favorite virus are being abandoned en masse. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

The students’ regulatory body is about stomping on students; the equality body oversees removal of rights from minorities; the energy and water regulators exist to rubber stamp price hikes on the public, the press regulator is a fig leaf for billionaire malfeasance. The system, working as intended.

'The US CDC today in its weekly measles update reported 29 more cases, bringing the national total to 1,197 cases, within 77 cases of matching the total from 2019, which was the most since the disease was eliminated from the country in 2000.' @cidrap.bsky.social. www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/us-m...

Jeg håber, de 🇩🇰 sundhedsmyndigheder vil forsætte med at anbefale, at gravide vacciners mod COVID-19. Det er desværre ikke det indtryk, man får, når man læser den på flere punkter ejendommelige MTV af covidvacciner, der just er sendt i høring.

If there's a work requirement, there should be guaranteed paid work available (with accommodations if necessary so everyone can do it) But the easiest thing would be to get with the times and join every other developed nation. Healthcare for all.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

Senator Padilla is a ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety. But the director of DHS doesn’t know the guy she has to report to fairly often? I’d be hitting this fact harder than “he I’d’ed himself.”

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

If the press were saying an estimated 28 million have died from COVID and over 409 million have long covid would everyone be thinking it’s mild? These figures are the reality of the situation! 🧵
