The “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” mercenaries opened fire on and threw grenades at people waiting for food today. The people were behind a fence, and, based on the videos I’ve watched, the use of weapons was unnecessary for safety. In three days, they’ve reportedly killed 10 and injured dozens.

It’s been 600 days since the war in #Gaza began. More than 50,000 children have been reportedly killed or injured, according to @unicef.org . The collective punishment of 2 million Palestinians continues as Israeli military offensive intensifies. A permanent #ceasefire is needed NOW.

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

It’s also a short step from treating a virus as a crime to treating the ill as criminals. I’m reminded of the recent remarks by Dr. Oz saying it was our “patriotic duty” to remain healthy so we consume fewer healthcare resources.

In the first 100 days of the Trump admin, ICE averaged 665 arrests a day. 3,000 a day, a 450% increase, is an INSANE number for them to demand now; genuinely, truly, the stuff of madness.

Comrade Leavitt on Leader Trump's Five-Year Patriotic Plan. I liked it better when Presidential micro-managing involved personally scheduling the White House tennis court rather than dictating the proper mix of workers and university majors by illegally defunding higher education.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

I actually have an answer to why it was different. It was different because the Napalm Girl photograph did not actually end the war. A year before the photo was taken, a majority of Americans already believed it had been a mistake to send troops to Vietnam. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Given the actions of the Trump administration to date, here’s my extremely nuanced analysis: Best case is they don’t care if we die. Worst case is they’re trying to kill lots of us.

We've already had dozens of actually “worse than Watergate" scandals in just four months since Trump took office. I realize you want to sell books, @jaketapper.bsky.social, but could you at least work in some commentary on Trump’s corruption and maybe his apparent lack of control of his faculties?

None of these men are legitimate scientists. This is not “good science.” COVID doubled death rates in pregnancy pre-vaccine, and mountains of evidence show COVID causes worse outcomes for mom & baby. Evidence also shows vaccination has no adverse effects on pregnancy or baby but does protect them.
