Hello my friend!

I’ve heard that if you follow the money things usually make sense…

The brave men and women who serve our nation deserve to be led by people who know what they are doing.

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War.

I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion.

After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them.

Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

This is the country that I want to live in. One with compassion. One with honest love.

I sobbed when I watched this story from @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social. Watch it and remember what being great really is.

Following the money, usually sheds light on the truth behind horrific things.

IRB’s exist to protect us from research studies that could cause harm to participants.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

WTF did she say out loud?

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

When a Journalist Is Arrested, Democracy Is the One in Handcuffs Kerry Kennedy, President of the Robert and Ethel Human Rights Center, on the arrest of journalist Don Lemon

"The recent arrest of Don Lemon should alarm every American who still believes in the First Amendment," writes Kerry Kennedy.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face

So is Trump’s plan to put troops in our streets to gun down American citizens for protesting. While at the same time promoting the right to protest in Iran? Huh?

this is pathetic to a degree i didn't realize was possible

How long will we continue to murder brown skinned people in little boats because they are in the wrong place in an ocean 1,000 miles from the U.S.?

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Vaccine-preventable diseases are unimpressed with your consumption of beef tallow and peptides and supplements in lieu of vaccines.

You’re the antelope and the lion is going to track you down.

Kelly: "My family has suffered from political violence. My wife, Gabby, was nearly assassinated, shot in the head at a political event. Even the president -- 2 assassination attempts -- he should understand his words have significant weight and people react to things that he says."

Now THAT’S a Project I can support!! 👊

Opinion | Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy
