it shouldn’t take this level of suffering to incentivize responsible citizenship

Dow down more than 800 points. Thanks, Mr President!

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

RFK Jr. said in his Fox News OpEd that “Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses”. The best diet in the world will not prevent infection if you are unvaccinated and sharing air with someone who has measles.

The final stage of tetanus when the nerves fire continuously and the body contorts into an agonizing posture known as opisthotonus. The mastication muscles also clamp down to form the hallmark of the disease, lockjaw. This 19th-century painting is on display @surgeonshall.bsky.social. #vaccineswork

Farmers: losing billions Trump: “have fun!”

It just remains utterly shocking to me that the official position of the GOP seems to be that the country which is being invaded and has seen its cities destroyed shouldn't even be allowed to sit at the table on discussions around peace.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the goal is to make it so unpleasant to work for government that nobody will do it unless they have no other choice. These requirements will keep getting dumber and more arbitrary because that's their purpose.

Are we certain they just didn't self-immolate out of shame

"In US in 2022 mothers died @ more than 6X rates [of other high-income countries]...Mortality is about way we treat women in healthcare...Postdelivery...we stop caring. We have a system geared to healthy babies, not healthy mothers, w/ poverty & racial inequity making more bleak for Black mothers"

Tomatoes, T-shirts and cars are among the vast array of goods that could become pricier with new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

Important distinction! (which I have sometimes failed to make). Theaters playing No Other Land are here:

I hope you like animal feed and seed oils, Americans! Because otherwise your entire farm sector is going to collapse.

Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring). Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

A little tip on father-daughter relations, and how to gracefully receive edits, courtesy of Darwin. March 1 1867: on receiving Henrietta Darwin's edits to Animals and Plants Under Domestication, he wrote: "All your remarks, criticisms, doubts & corrections are excellent, excellent, excellent". ❤️

NOAA terminates space, climate and marine life advisory committees Experts caution the groups play a key role in ensuring agencies use the best available science in their decision making. www.govexec.com/management/2...

Do your country a favor and send someone this: PEPFAR Program Impact Tracker pepfar.impactcounter.com The counter estimates how many people Elon Musk has personally killed with HIV since Trump's inauguration.

This is the Dems secret weapon. Funny !!!

Besides the obvious immorality of detaining anyone w/o evidence, let's look at cost: a month of detention costs taxpayers $4,900. So why are American taxpayers spending our $$$s on detaining tourists w/return flights already booked? CoreCivic is stealing from us. #DemVoice1

Australian James Harrison, whose blood plasma contained a rare antibody that saved more than two million babies (friggen two million babies!!), has died at 88. He donated blood more than 1,100 times in his life. What a guy. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Nothing to see here...

It's #MementoMoriMonday! Here are male and female memento mori figurines used for spiritual contemplation from the 19th century. They were meant to remind the owner of the transience of life and material luxury. They are now part of the Wellcome Collection in London. Wedding cake toppers, anyone?

(AFP) - A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor's office said Monday. @afpnews.bsky.social $TSLA

Priorities!!!

Texas should warn its residents not to travel to Texas

TEXAS. Where you can die from a miscarriage or your child can die of measles.

dan patrick wants to rename new york strip steaks to “texas strips” which is of course short for “texas strips you of your constitutional rights and reproductive freedom”

We just want to remind you: You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through it together. We’ve seen so many people sharing their feelings of anxiety and stress—please take a moment for yourself. Your well-being matters. Sending you hugs—you are amazing, and we love you all! 💚

Atlanta Fed Q1 GDP tracker was -1.5% on Friday. Today it’s -2.8%. 🇺🇸 www.atlantafed.org/cqer/researc...

The people who write about politics are all the dumbest motherfuckers in the world. Trump is far more like Jim Jones than he is like Teddy Roosevelt. Stop polluting our public dialogue with this clownish nonsense you fucking idiots.

Truths to Remember in a Time of Lies www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/o... Pretty succinct. Remember the true things & fight for them, every which way we can.

A WIRED investigation reveals that billion-dollar scam compounds in Myanmar—where tens of thousands are enslaved—are using Starlink, the satellite internet service from Elon Musk’s SpaceX, to stay online and keep their operations running.

NSF is re-hiring nearly all fired probationary employees following an OPM directive and a Friday judge order. This is 84/86 probationary staff being hired back; 84 "experts" are still terminated My Signal : nidhisubs.11

WHITE HOUSE ADVISER NAVARRO: ANY BURNING FROM STOVE TOUCHING WOULD BE “SECOND DEGREE SMALL”

If RFk jr believes this, he should do vaccine promotional messages with Paul Offit and Peter Hotez.

Wow!! Can we make things more bizarre. I am sure we are headed towards a deep recession soon.

Respect is literally the third Army Core Value.

Musk is the de facto POTUS and he bought his way there. With our money.

You can tell antivaxxers don’t actually care about children because a child died and these sickos are using it as an excuse to share juice recipes and promote their supplements. There’s more aluminum in a cup of carrot juice than in the two-dose MMR series. And carrot juice doesn’t prevent measles.

Well, of course he would: kyivindependent.com/elon-musk-pu...

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

Amen. Don't let the tech bros win. #Oscars #FilmSky

I’ve been thinking more and more of Die Hard 4, and the villainous tech guy played by Timothy Olyphant who tries to destroy the whole US government by launching a multisystem attack. www.valleynewslive.com/2025/03/01/e...

Democrats Invite Fired Federal Workers to Trump’s Congressional Address www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u... Hmm...I hope they get to be in the democratic counter point. The public deserves to know of this destruction of government agencies.
