@EthanLevins2 We got out of it after WWII with simple Keynesian Economic strategies.

@TheRealJChubby 🤨 A judge saying US presidents and world leaders have no need for security is fucking wild. This just proves Trump right and your first thought "he would totally fake this because he's not a risk."
English

The false flag for a ballroom thing would be less believable if a judge didn't just say they need a security justification to do it without Congressional approval and it wasn't the only thing Trump has talked about for months despite starting a whole ass war.

@Rainmaker1973 Spike proteins from the vaccine trigger the same microclotting in the blood. Spike from the vaccine + Covid-19 = cumulative damage.
English

A groundbreaking study has pinpointed a microscopic culprit behind the debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and other persistent symptoms of long COVID: abnormal, sticky microclots embedded with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in patients' blood.
These microclots—tiny aggregates of clotting proteins—are small enough to obstruct the body's tiniest blood vessels (capillaries), restricting oxygen delivery to tissues and organs without triggering obvious large-scale clotting events. In long COVID patients, researchers observed a dramatic ~20-fold increase (median 19.7 times higher) in the number of these microclots compared to healthy controls, with the clots also tending to be larger.
What sets this finding apart is the discovery that these microclots are structurally intertwined with NETs—web-like structures of DNA, enzymes (such as myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase), and proteins released by neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) to ensnare pathogens. Normally, NETs form temporarily and then dissolve, but in long COVID, they persist and become physically embedded within the microclots, creating highly resistant, "gummy" structures that evade the body's natural clot-breaking processes (fibrinolysis). This creates a chronic thromboinflammatory state, where blocked microcirculation and ongoing low-grade inflammation may sustain symptoms like exhaustion and cognitive impairment.
The differences were so pronounced that machine learning models analyzing anonymized blood samples (via fluorescence microscopy for markers like ThT for amyloid-like structures, DNA stains, and MPO for NETs) could distinguish long COVID patients from healthy individuals with 91% accuracy—offering a potential objective biomarker for a condition that has long evaded reliable diagnosis through standard tests (e.g., normal D-dimer, PT/INR, or aPTT levels despite significant microclot burden).
This work, led by teams including Prof. Etheresia Pretorius (Stellenbosch University) and Dr. Alain Thierry (Montpellier University), reframes long COVID as a tangible, blood-based disorder driven by dysregulated coagulation and innate immunity rather than vague "post-viral malaise." Targeting NETs or microclots—perhaps with therapies to degrade NETs or prevent their stabilization—could open doors to treating root causes instead of merely alleviating symptoms.

@Bill_Kirch @AzPetrich An ACTUAL Pedo-protector accusing others of being pedos. Irony is dead.

@AzPetrich Hegseth was closer to quoting the bible than to pope today ... x.com/AdrianneCurry/…

False Prophet The pope has been a vehicle for Satan for quite a while. The same people who despised the Vatican for covering up for pedos now celebrate it for hating trump. Lol

@evanhill @mehdirhasan Naive propaganda…
The moral of a soldier doesn’t come from the food.
Whoever wants to taste food and get pleasure must have no place in the army, food for a soldier is just nutritional value.

@DeanObeidallah Right-wing Catholics aren't necessarily voting FOR anyone, they're voting AGAINST candidates to satisfy their fears and bigotry.

Today’s GOP is the modern version of the Klan and the Klan despised Catholics. My mother’s side of my family is Catholic and they get how much the GOP despises them:
(((DeanObeidallah)))@DeanObeidallah
Trump smears the Pope with lies. Exhibit 100 how much the right despises Catholics. Trump is surrounded by anti-Catholic bigots like Rev. Jeffress and Pete Hegseth. How any Catholic could vote for the GOP given they hate you is beyond me! cnbc.com/2026/04/12/tru…

@EdwardGLuce I hope JD Vance campaigns for all the Republican candidates for Congress this year.

the JD Vance effect: "Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded that he had lost Hungary’s election on Sunday, as early results showed a stunning defeat for the politician who has ruled the country for 16 years and been an ally of President Trump." wsj.com/world/europe/h…
