I discovered that happiness comes from balancing the Betties: Betty White, Betty Ford, Betty Crocker, Betty Friedan, & Bettie Page. Proud disestablishmentarian.
So let me get this straight: the GOP wants the POTUS, Sec of Def, General McKenzie, & Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to resign immediately. They think this is a sound strategy? Really? I guess their constituents really like Kamala & hate the military. Who knew?
@SECNAV@NAV_STA_NORFOLK@USSKearsarge Recently, we found out that you will be helping to sort the contaminated water situation on Oahu. Thank you, Sir, for caring about Hawai'i's Navy families. We appreciate you, and we are incredibly grateful for your efforts.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is one of those shadow diagnoses that I think is clinically and radiologically underrecognized but also difficult to ascertain due to nonspecificity of the findings. Thoughts?👇
@ByronYork This is like saying that the KKK's burning crosses don't count because "real" crosses are Roman... and we all know the KKK doesn't grant Italians membership.
@Wdenemy @ByronYork My cousin owns a bicycle shop. Some neo-Nazis spray painted several bicycles and the front of the shop with swastikas. The fools painted the swastikas backwards. It was no less antisemitic & designed to inspire fear in a Jewish business owner.
@plcgraphics @AmyMcGrathKY Right?! I'm not a large woman. At the time, I was probably 120 pounds. I'm 5'7. My arm was huge. It actually got much worse looking because the hospital (Enterprise Hospital in Enterprise, AL) failed to give me antibiotics & the result was a horrible infection.
Fiona Hill on Gen. Mark Milley’s quote saying the insurrection was a precursor to more violence: “He's not overstating this at all."
Hill adds the Jan. 6 was “a dress rehearsal for something that could be happening near term...Once a threshold is crossed, we're in a danger zone"
There's a lot of talk nowadays about "The Big Lie" but the biggest lie of all is that America is at war with itself.
In Congress, I’ll work to bridge those divisions.
@JonathanDworkin @hawaiibookmusic@sched Brilliant! Thank you for sharing your research. I particularly appreciated the points you made on the great balancing act (public health vs. economics). I'm officially a fan of your work.
The seminal discoveries by this year’s #NobelPrize laureates in physiology or medicine have explained how heat, cold and touch can initiate signals in our nervous system. The identified ion channels are important for many physiological processes and disease conditions.
@philmac773 @CMCRET @MalcolmNance It is heartbreaking! All the years of sacrifice and effort by civil rights activists... and these horrid racists & conspiracy theorists are gleefully tearing the nation apart. My heart hurts for you and your daughter.
@NeoCentralist Their delusions are, indeed, steadily fed on a diet of misinformation from the spoons of political leadership, thus confirming biases and providing validation for these false beliefs. It's a toxic and sickening thing to witness.
Guns are dangerous tools with undeniable utility. We need to recognize the hazards & embrace fettered access to weapons designed for rapid killing en mass. How do we tackle the Constitutionally-encouraged fantasy of using guns to prevail over an oppressive gov't? Ideas?
@philmac773 @CMCRET @MalcolmNance Thank you for sharing the difference between your 2010 trip & 2014 trip. It's so important for people to know how the "Racist Renaissance" impacted Black people. I am truly sorry. You deserve to be able to travel freely and without fear. Period.
@CMCRET So, we stay in Hawai'i & do our best to support positive changes in our nation (social justice, racial equity, accessible & affordable
healthcare as a right, green initiatives, infrastructure investments, etc.) and honor the ʻĀina that grants us the luxury of peace.
@CMCRET Sadly, I think the racist sentiments have always been present, but the rise of Trump gave racists the sense that they could act out their sick fantasies without consequence. As a Jewish woman with a Lakota husband & our Black child, we are walking targets, now.
