@jk_rowling@suzanne_moore If plan on not seeing the plan, but if I plan to see the plan, it will be a good plan otherwise its not a plan that is good, or a plan that I have seen, which is good from a plan perspective. All good here
@wattsupwiththat The *free Canadian Healthcare system also advises against regular annual physical checkups, which are considered preventative in nature
Humans are hardware.
Cultures are software.
We have fundamentally the same hardware, but adopt very different software.
Not all software is compatible.
America's software is built on universal principles and respect for law.
Developing countries often run software that prioritizes tribe, custom, and heritage.
That's okay. But it's incompatible.
When an immigrant comes to America, they need to choose America's software over the software of the place they're leaving.
Otherwise, America gets buggy and dysfunctional.
Some countries have software more similar to America - and immigrants from those places will likely have an easier time integrating.
That's pattern recognition, not prejudice.
But the promise of America is that anyone who adopts our software and adds value to the lives of people already here gets to be here.
You don't get to be here just because you want to be here.
You need to bring something to the table.
Millions of people want to come.
We can have empathy for all of them, but we can't accommodate all of them.
That's why merit-based immigration is the only rational path forward.
Don't let people scare you into silence by calling you racist for recognizing this.
This is how citizens of other countries approach their country.
Why should America be any different?
1. It's time to explain exactly what happened on Election Day 2024 to stop the steal.
This will be a very long thread.
It involves quite a few people over 4 years.
A dozen sources.
We must begin just after the rigged 2020 election.
@BernieSanders is from NY, a socialist politician since 1981 (!) systematically ruining the idyllic state of VT by his governance - it's no longer affordable, nor attracts or retains great minds or businesses - yet he is now a multi-millionaire. Read on-

You literally can't make this stuff up.
While Trump illegally denied food to 42 million low-income Americans, including 16 million kids, he hosted a lavish "Great Gatsby" party for his billionaire pals at his country club.
This is oligarchy at its ugliest. We must fight back.
In 2018, no one was more surprised to be elected-than you were @AOC! Even @SpeakerPelosiPR said a "glass of water" could win the district. Now, 7 years later, your misogynism against women of integrity and true grit, like @Riley_Gaines_ will become your future political burden

It’s always hilarious when they think they’ve landed a “gotcha” by pointing out I was the 5th-fastest woman *in the nation* yet they conveniently forget the mediocre man who ranked 462nd in the men’s division lol
Misogynistic dunce
The far-right Brian speaks of is really the far-left. Current antisemitism is driven by the left that supports Hamas. They orchestrated the violent campus protests that normalized Jew hate. If a white radicalized person ends up committing an anti-semitic crime, they slap on the white supremist label, another smear that infact is better applied to the far-left. There are no anti-semite white supremistists in the MAGA movement. These are constructs of the Democrat party. When they say extremism is on both sides, they are referring to the two fractured sides of the far-left.
Islam is literally (sorry @JesseKellyDC) Jewish.
Judaism is literally Zoroastrian.
Freddy Mercury was a Zoroastrian and is of Indian descent.
The majority of Indians are Hindus.
Buddhism is literally Hinduism.
Hindus call Alexander the Great Sikandar ...
Hope this helps.

For @HBO@iamjohnoliver@LastWeekTonight to mock @paytonmcnabb_ is deplorable. Shame on you all.
1. The TBI has caused Payton severe long-term physical and mental health issues. Vision problems, concentration and memory loss, and difficulty performing tasks like she used to.
After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.
The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.
In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department.
Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.
This is a MILD example of the intolerant madness in Mad River Valley, where VP @JDVance & beautiful family are vacationing this weekend at Sugarbush Ski Resort in Warren, Vermont. VT is known for its lack of diversity. The ample bigotry from its transplants is ruining the state
