I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film.

The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage:

“You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.”

He was talking about Russia.

The audience knew he was talking about America too.
Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on.

David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does.

The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube.

The Epstein files are sealed.
The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count.
Countless small acts of complicity.

That’s how you lose it.
A nobody is more powerful than you think.

Never stop connecting the dots.

Casey, this is what happens when wellness rhetoric collides with public health reality.

Hepatitis B is not transmitted “only by sex and needles.” It spreads through blood and body fluids, including mother-to-child transmission at birth and household exposure in early childhood. When infants are infected, about 90% develop chronic hepatitis B, which can lead decades later to cirrhosis and liver cancer.

We learned this very clearly in Alaska Native communities, where hepatitis B once caused extraordinarily high rates of chronic infection and liver cancer. Beginning in the early 1980s, universal vaccination programs were implemented, and we now have over 40 years of follow-up data.

The result: childhood hepatitis B infection in Alaska Native populations essentially disappeared, and liver cancer in vaccinated cohorts dropped dramatically.

That’s why the United States moved to universal newborn vaccination in the 1990s—because screening parents alone missed infections and children were still becoming chronically infected.

Calling this “insanity” ignores one of the most successful cancer-prevention programs in modern medicine.

It’s easy to cast suspicion on vaccines from a podcast microphone. It’s harder to argue with four decades of epidemiology.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

A moment of clarity for the MAGA folks willing to think things through objectively:

A protester, armed with a camera phone in his hand, defends a woman being harassed by ICE agents and puts his body between them and her.

He does not fight them. He does not strike them. He does not brandish his concealed gun and shoot at them. THIS IS WHAT THE VIDEOS SHOW, so save your fucked-up made-up gaslighting.

They then take him to the ground, overwhelm him with at least 7 agents, hit him in the head repeatedly with the pepper spray canister they sprayed him with.

Then, after one agent finds his lawfully carried gun, they disarm him, and then shoot him in the back when he is clearly not a threat.

Then, as the man is shot on the ground, a different agent claps and celebrates, while another decides to shoot him a few more times in the back for good measure.

That is what happened. That is what the videos show. They show the execution of an American citizen that should have never happened.

Now... If you are posting on this platform about this incident and your narrative is anything resembling "well, I mean... 🤷‍♂️ He should have never been there in the first place," you have some real soul searching to do.

Minnesota National Guard was asked why they’re handing out coffee, donuts, and hot chocolate to protesters.

Answer: “It’s a demonstration of safety and security. We’re here to help.”

That’s how you de-escalate.
Not masks. Not threats. Not bullets.

George Conway: “Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all”

This is Charlotte Bisman

She survived meningococcal meningitis - just - but lost all four limbs

The meningitis vaccine can PREVENT this

And its just been REMOVED from the US routine vaccine schedule

For shame

[kim lash @KimLash127]

@DrNeilStone Just a bit of fact…
Pretty much most of the other countries in the world require at least a Meningitis C vaccines starting in early childhood. Some actually require the ACWY vaccine as we had. Oh, and many countries also require the BCG vaccine for TB during childhood.
