Late stage democracy.
I noticed its unmistakable signs in 2015 when evangelical Christians flocked to Trump as their savior - not because he was family values man, or pro-life or had ever read a bible he wasn’t selling.
When a people sacrifice principle for power it’s over 🧵
SCOOP: A confidential new CIA analysis delivered to policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least 3 to 4 months before facing more severe economic hardship, a finding that contradicts those hailing an imminent collapse
@Elex_Michaelson PS…I think an opportunity was missed last night when Bianco admitted to being an Oath Keeper he should have been pressed much harder on this issue.

His behavior is explained.
His reputation is preserved.
His accountability is delayed.
His humanity is centered.

Her grief is diagnosed.
Her body is drugged.
And her truth is called instability.
And this is how the system continues.
Long term follow up of a phase 1
trial of an mRNA tumor vaccine shows that 7/8 patients with pancreatic cancer, who mounted an immune response to the vaccine, are still alive 6 years later. This is breathtaking data and shows the promise of mRNA vaccines. https://t.co/J1kDmMRZQY
