In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Rob Schneider did a comedy standup at CPAC and one of his jokes was: "Somalia is not sending their best; they're not sending their doctors or engineers, if they have any... hehehe".

And he still believes Hollywood "blacklisted" him. Maybe they just don't like shitty racist jokes, Robbie.

Media should stop saying Israel is “demolishing” villages in Lebanon. It’s misleading.

The accurate term is ethnic cleansing.

This is the face of a war criminal.
The IDF say they are rooting out terrorists. Instead their soldiers are terrorizing people out of their homes and then setting themselves up in the abandoned homes and stealing their food.
Israel is a terror state.

EU top court strikes down Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ rules Viktor Orbán had banned mentions of homosexuality in media accessible to children and outlawed Pride marches.

It’s not often I get to report good news, so we’re going to take some time to do that today — because @theonion.com officially has a deal to take over Alex Jones’ InfoWars.

Their plan? To turn it into a parody of itself.

It’s going to be so good:

This is a war based on lies

Pretty much

Trump is operating on a false premise.

He thinks that if he threatens "wiping out a civilization," & they don't surrender to the threat, that he is then justified in bombing them into oblivion.

The threat alone is a war crime. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for executing the threat.

Boxing himself in.

The Strait of Hormuz is now completely closed because Israel can't adhere to any ceasefire agreement that requires them to stop killing civilians

Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup.

He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal.

He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage.

He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed

Yes.

I wish I enjoyed Dave Matthews Band music as much as their politics. But one outta two ain’t bad

Ah, Maersk. The same company that’s been complicit in bringing weapons to Isr*el for years now; knowing that they would be used to commit g3n0c!de against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Just look it up. They’re absolutely all up in that.

What the actual fuck….

"She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide..."

When you hear "Coachella," you probably think of a music festival. I think of an important agricultural region in SoCal with many Essential Workers who work hard every day to feed us!

Yep - Norway is more socialist than we are here in Canada & USAmericans are terrified of *our* version of democratic socialism.

Got ours too! 😁

No surprise that the leopards came to eat her face.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

ICE Arrests 85-Year-Old French Widow Who Married Her G.I. Sweetheart

Not only did the sons probably call ICE on her, the day after her husband died they took their dad's cars, leaving her housebound. Then they rerouted mail, causing her to miss a visa appointment & the utilities to be turned off. Tony and Gary Ross are going to hell.

I often 🧐 if the motivation behind some of these choices is to say to their constituents (or prov/fed govt) they don’t have suff funds for project XYZ in order to solicit funds.
