@hernandy_s Correct because they never existed. Lmao
I don’t believe ther has been any real progress on a WW or bat,a movie. It’s been in development hell for years
@StevenTank40953 Honestly that’s how I feel too. 16 was dynamic shattering norms. Steering the gop to being fighters holding their stance on hard issues. First time I was able to vote
Still felt that way in 20&24 but less so
I feel like it’s time to move but TRUMP ass is not going to allow that
@ChristianHeiens Sometimes we need a good whacking. GOP got too complacent
But why couldn’t Ali to retire so we could secure the SC for much longer period.
@Philzer7 Dems are too online. The more attention they bring is just stupid. Scoff and ignore it. Too late to make real damage. Generic ballot is on their side. It’s a midterm. He’s likely too win. But their reaction screams it’s close to an extent. He’s going to be a vulnerable senator
@neoavatara@yesh222@HaleyforMI There is more important things in life than politics. There will be a situation where elsayed becomes the face of antisemitism for dems. He won’t be some congressman. He would be high profile. Everything he has said. Every friend colleague he’s worked with will come under fire
In November 2007, 21-year-old Zack Dunlap was declared brain-dead at a hospital in Wichita Falls, Texas.
His family was told there was no hope of recovery. They agreed to donate his organs, and a transplant team was preparing to travel by helicopter.
Then something happened that stopped everything.
One of Zack’s cousins, a nurse, took a pocketknife and gently ran it along the sole of his foot.
Zack pulled his foot away.
Another relative pressed firmly on his fingernail. Zack moved his arm across his body, pushing the hand away.
The family immediately questioned what they had been told.
Zack was from Frederick, Oklahoma. He had suffered a devastating ATV accident after swerving to avoid someone. The vehicle flipped, and he landed headfirst on the asphalt. He had not been wearing a helmet.
His injuries were so severe that doctors told his mother they could see brain matter coming from his ear.
After around 36 hours, a radionuclide scan was interpreted as showing no blood flow to his brain. Doctors determined that he met the criteria for brain death, and his family was asked about organ donation.
But the movements witnessed by his relatives brought the process to a halt.
Zack remained in hospital for five weeks before being transferred to a rehabilitation facility in Oklahoma City. Remarkably, he walked out just 48 days after the accident.
He later recalled hearing a doctor pronounce him dead. He said he had been furious, but was unable to communicate what he was experiencing.
His case has continued to raise questions.
A medical review published in 2025 revisited the circumstances surrounding his brain-death determination. The authors highlighted concerns in the original assessment, including the fact that an apnea test had not been completed and that Zack had been receiving a continuous infusion of propofol, a sedative.
The review argued that his case illustrates why brain-death assessments must follow strict medical safeguards and why blood-flow scans must be interpreted carefully.
Brain death is a formal medical determination, not simply a coma or an unconscious state. It requires rigorous testing to establish the permanent loss of all brain function.
Zack’s story is extraordinary, but it is also a reminder of how important those safeguards are—especially when decisions about organ donation may follow.
His family thought they were saying goodbye. Instead, they witnessed movements that changed the course of his story.
@DonBlais85@StevenTank40953 This current version was able to make Iowa Ohio and Florida solidly red.
People love to criticize when midterms are expected to be bad for the incumbents. Happened to bush and Obama.
@901Lulu One thing I’ve learned in life is social media is not real life. She may truly have liked the area but doesn’t take into effect whether the relationship had hardships. Money infidelity mental health etc. smoke and mirrors unfortunately
@MyselfandMe45@CourtTV It’s lunacy. That’s all defense attorney should say “hey are you being paid for your testimony today.”
Unless there are questionable search history and a comfession I highly doubt I’m moving away from acquittal
@MyselfandMe45@CourtTV If the autopsy done by the state tells me the kids did not suffocate. That’s acquittal in my book. I’m not gonna believe state bought experts when the state medical examiner is saying something else.
