Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

Do you know who else didn't have beds? Detainees at Nohra, the first Nazi concentration camp. They slept on blankets and straw in March 1933. No barbed wire, no crematoria, no mass executions. Those came later. Detainees were held in "protective custody" on the grounds of a military school.

RFK Jr wants to remove #fluoride from the US water supply. That will cost billions of dollars with millions of cavities. Like with his pseudoscience on vaccines, this is just one more step in the great plan to "Make America Sick Again." www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Does anything in this picture say, "federal agents making a lawful arrest?" Perhaps they identified themselves. But when did it go out of fashion for law enforcement to look like law enforcement?

This is pretty nuts. I don’t care whether ur in the guard or reserves. DNI is a full time job. You can’t not be available during a major nat sec crisis. More obvious explanation is that she was close to the Assad regime and Russia and they may simply not trust her to be there.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, their health system infrastructure also fell. Combine that with changing vaccine requirements to try and cut costs, and sowing distrust in vaccines, and you got one of the biggest outbreaks of diphtheria in the vaccine era.

His latest diatribe confirms for me that his pathetic military parade was a massive fail. If it had been successful, he would have at least tried to have it lead on Monday cable news. Instead he is declaring war on blue cities. The military parade was a failure.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.
