The reason we're here is because Biden's "trusted experts" lied repeatedly about COVID, dismantled public health, stigmatized proven solutions like N95s, and locked us into a forever pandemic. They created the conditions necessary for someone like RFK Jr to seize power.

As a Gen-Xer who was also taught to fear quicksand, I cannot recommend this highly enough. We are sinking.

We formed a broad, shaky voting bloc just to get Biden over finish line in 2020 with understanding that stopping MAGA & restoring constitutional law was the top priority

Then the entire Dem establishment said— “JUST KIDDING! WE’RE DOING GENOCIDE! 🤗”

And that’s been it since 🤷🏾‍♀️

Keep your DVDs, CDs, vinyl records, physical books, and cookbooks. Don't get rid of the physical media you own for digital alternatives that can be edited, deleted, or taken away. In a few years, almost everything online will be AI slop, and you'll be glad you kept them.

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered.

It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.

Here's what really happened on October 7th...

1. 07 OCTOBER 2022.

2. 07 OCTOBER 2021.
Israeli settlers from the Telem settlement cut down more than 100 olive seedlings on Palestinian-owned land in Turqumiya, Hebron, belonging to 'Aziz Jamil Ja'afrah — the same land where settlers had uprooted trees the year before. (PCHR, 7–13 Oct 2021)

Israeli forces raided at least nine homes overnight and arrested eleven people, including a father and son together (Wadi al-Far'a, Tubas) and a 16-year-old (Adham Abu Srour, Dawha), without charge. A 55-year-old activist was separately arrested without charge at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

IT GOES ON LIKE THIS EVERY DAY OF EVERY YEAR AS FAR BACK AS YOU LOOK

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

People think Medicare for All is extreme because there is so much purposeful misinformation put out there by industry lobbyists, and repeated by the politicians they pay off.

Medicare for All would cut spending by up to $650 billion per year.

Medicare for All would save families money.

Health insurance IS NOT healthcare, and is actually a barrier to receiving it. Medicare for All would eliminate this barrier and restrictive doctor networks, and allow you to see the doctors you want with no copays, premiums, or deductibles.

Medicare for All would cover medical, dental, vision, hearing, mental health and long term care.

Medicare for All would create jobs, help businesses, and boost local economies, while giving doctors an estimated 9 more hours a week to see patients.

We are the only industrialized country in the world without universal healthcare because our campaign finance laws allow the health insurance and pharmaceutical industry to buy our elected officials.

Ignore the lies, fight back against the corruption, and push your elected representatives to make the morally and fiscally responsible choice.

It is always interesting to note when the “remain calm” messaging starts re: a public health concern that is inspiring anxiety and scrutiny of systems. Emily Oster is continually enlisted for just this assignment

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

"Oppressed peoples have a right to resist oppression" is not an extreme position. It is a key tenet of Western morality, the foundation of the US's existence. France's WWII experience. Ukraine's war. It's only "extreme" because Palestinians are not recognised the same humanity

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

I think more politicians should take a trip to the West Bank like Khanna did however the Scahill interview revealed how little he still knows about the history of Palestine since 1948 and it’s truly astonishing to me that our lawmakers can still be so uninformed on this issue 3 years into a genocide. There’s no excuse.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

An important exchange that illuminates the ideological obstacles that Palestinians face on the path to freedom. Ro, a leading Congressional critic of Israel, is unwilling to affirm that Palestinians have the right to armed resistance against a genocidal Israeli military occupation. By contrast, he affirms that the Israeli occupiers have the right to bomb Palestinians who resist.

The bottom line is that you cannot engage in transactions when you’re sleeping.

So they need you up earlier so that they can shift the sun later and keep you consuming.

Soon you’ll hear that 2 hours is better.

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Tell Congress NO! Permanent Daylight Saving Time means 9am winter sunrise. Replace it with the newer bill for permanent Standard Time.

[Roger Seheult, MD @RogerSeheult]

🚨🚨🚨🚨Today the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide.

This is the biggest legislative step this issue has taken in years but it is not law.

The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where there is still an opportunity for it to be debated, amended, or rejected. If you care about health and circadian biology, this is the time to speak up.

The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong:

• Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock.
• Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing exposure to morning light when our brains need it most.
• Later sunrises are associated with chronic circadian misalignment, sleep loss, poorer mood, reduced alertness, and increased cardiometabolic risk.
• Studies comparing western versus eastern portions of time zones consistently show worse health outcomes where people experience later sunrises despite sharing the same clock time.
• The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and numerous sleep and circadian experts recommend permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST, as the option that best aligns with human biology.

The argument for permanent DST is largely one of convenience and preference for lighter evenings. The argument for permanent Standard Time is one of physiology and public health.

If you believe our laws should reflect the best available scientific evidence, now is the time to respectfully contact your U.S. Senators. Tell them that while ending the twice-yearly clock changes is a worthy goal, permanent Daylight Saving Time is not the healthiest solution. Ask them instead to support permanent Standard Time, which preserves the morning light our circadian system depends on.

Please REPOST this. The Senate has not yet voted, and informed voices can still make a difference.

@LeaderJohnThune is the Senate majority leader that will determine when this legislation comes to the Senate for debate. He should know how you feel.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it. In my new book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning what he would do... https://t.co/IpjLWPjBH8
