"This is an important thing to think about."

I wake up every day, hoping for The News

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

And then he said: “If you don’t open the Strait of Hormuz, an entire civilization will die tonight.”

So they opened it.

Then he blockaded it.

So they closed it again.

Now he’s demanding they reopen it… so he can close it again.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

There’s no routine screening for pancreatic cancer, most cases aren’t operable, and the five year survival rate after diagnosis is around 13%. It’s a traumatic news.

But new personalized mRNA immunotherapy is showing encouraging results in Phase 1 clinical trials.

Keep funding science!

If this isn’t insanity I don’t know what is.

If trickle-down economics worked at all, the world gaining 400 billionaires last year would have set off an economic boom, given everyone raises, and lowered our prices.

But it didn't. Because trickle-down economics is a scam designed to make the rich richer off the rest of us.

This is what hope looks like.

Local elections are in 17 days.

Register to vote before MIDNIGHT TONIGHT and let's make hope normal again:

I love it for Trump that his legacy will be pushing the world away from fossil fuel..... that and only that. Backfiring on his donors spectacularly

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

And make their own water! ;)

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

Phone the Pope......pretty sure this wouldn't be his stance

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

If it was advertising mini skip rentals, I could understand the thinking.....

How Christians
Justify Evil.

10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.

The end is not nearly close enough

This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President.

The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

How is that a thing? How is it legal?!

Women get stressed all the time......it doesn't lead to the violence and murder it does in so many "stressed" men

The Iranians are playing this brainsick dullard like a yo-yo.

Let's hope it doesn't stop there....
Much more work to be done in redistributing extreme wealth towards the good of all society

I don’t think we should have that choice.

When we start wars it should be the only thing we talk about until we stop it.

This administration has sinned a lot.

There’s many wrongs to talk about.

But I think we are too privileged if the only time we talk about war is in relation to our wallets.

This is a welcoming account. 🏳️‍🌈

If Trump is innocent, prove it.

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it.
