No single person did more to end democracy and roll back civil rights in America than this white supremacist right here. Now and forever, that is how he should be remembered—the 21st century white supremacist who returned the United States to Jim Crow America.

This will probably be your last chance to order free COVID-19 tests, so might as well do it now!

Finally answers that they would otherwise never have access to?? My dude, ALL those answers were scraped off the open, searchable, internet after the skilled folks you’re shit talking took the time to put it there.

That’s a public library. You’re describing a public library.

The idea that the left should abandon "identity politics" is just bizarre. You don't think that every mention of "traditional family values" isn't identity politics?

What's incredible is how there are thousands - tens of thousands - of stories like this, a genuine national crisis akin to a foreign invasion, and our elite press is so bubbled, so insular, that they can only cover it by writing "Strong leaders flex governing muscles" 700 times over. Pathetic.

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Section 504 ensures that if a state wants federal money, they must protect disabled folks. TLDR, THIS IS BAD

In 2013, I did a dermatology elective at a cancer hospital and my takeaway every day was how grim the prognosis was for any form of advanced/non-localized melanoma. I have barely been practicing medicine for any amount of time and that has now completely changed thanks to our NIH-funded researchers.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

In general I don't hype up companies, but my employer made a Good decision at a time when a lot of others aren't, and I appreciate that.

Just in case you didn't know, measles is especially bad because it destroys your immune memory to everything you previously had or were vaxxed for, and have to start fresh like a newborn. Means you spend a lot of time sick after, & many ppl die from those infx rather than the measles

I love the outpouring of love for David Lynch. I don't love how many of the people who are remembering him have stopped masking in public. If you've stopped masking, you're why he had to choose to spend his final years isolated at home. I don't know what to do with that anger.

my fatigue is getting really bad. but if I talk about it, I usually get told that I need to "stop lecturing people about COVID" so ig ive gotta be disabled in a more ~socially acceptable~ way(silently and alone) while the rest of you go to bars/concerts/grindr hookups without any COVID precautions😒

"Seriously, I don’t care how much it costs. Take every dime I have. But know this: I would level my house to the ground before I paid slightly higher property taxes to fund infrastructure that would prevent a landslide from leveling my house to the ground."

Folks at MIT Sloan looked at multiple studies of return to office (RTO) mandates & found they are lose-lose-lose. No reward from Wall Street for “getting tough,” an actual decrease in productivity & revenue, and loss of top talent. youtu.be/4ec_yZCWOCY...
