Up to 56,000 people died from COVID-19 or RSV last year RSV was associated with 190,000 to 350,000 hospitalizations from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, as well as 10,000 to 23,000 deaths, according to new CDC data.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.

Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.

COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.

FYI - Ohio still has the death penalty for now and this is going through the house HB 372 the Larry Henderson Act:

The SAVE Act Will End Voting Rights for Women in America The SAVE Act has passed the House—we cannot let it pass the Senate

BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.

I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

Alt National Park Service: The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled. Anonymous commenter: Thank you AltNPS. You always inform where others won't.

The Alt National Park Service links to an article in The Hill, titled "National Science Foundation's future in limbo as Trump eyes cuts."

It's interesting and frustrating that even when AltNPS bothers to link to an actual source, there are plenty of people who give credit to AltNPS, instead of to their source.

It shows how embedded they are in their audience's media landscape. To many people, AltNPS is a primary source of news.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff doesn't say how much she wants from the Blaze for accusing her of being the J5 pipe bomber, but it's going to be a big number.

“we are deliberately killing the immunocompromised, disabled, and chronically ill”

The thing about that Washington painting behind him:

“Washington wanted to make sure that his troops were not affected by disease, and he believed that inoculation would help with that. So, just before this letter was written, Washington created a mandated system of inoculating his soldiers.”

@SecWar: The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately. 21 Apr 26

Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777.

Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.

Palantir manifesto described as ‘ramblings of a supervillain’ amid UK contract fears Alarm caused by posts of Alex Karp, tech firm’s CEO, championing US military dominance and of AI weapons

"You sly dog! You got me monologuing!" - Syndrome in The Incredibles

All super villains have one weakness. Just remember to keep them talking instead of wielding their doomsday weapon, and you will expose them for what they are and be able to defeat them. 😎

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

Of course they did, because the point is to thin the herd.

This is why we brought hundreds of people together in Ballard yesterday, and marched nearly four miles along the proposed rail line on one of Seattle's most unpleasant arterials (15th Ave NW). Because some insiders are eager to break promises to voters to keep Snohomish County politicians happy.

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."

i see people mocking the fast running robot like 'we have cars' but that misses the point.
a car can't run you down and subdue you inside or in various non-road conditions. they're not making them faster than humans for athletic reasons.

Climate groups sue US government over approval of new BP project in Gulf of Mexico Advocates expressed alarm as new project drills deeper into ocean bed, pointing to company’s failures at Deepwater Horizon spill

Environmental groups have sued the Trump administration over its approval of BP’s huge new ultra-deep oil drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico, 16 years to the day since the company’s Deepwater Horizon disaster caused the worst oil spill in US history.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
