@Shred_0x I see 4 robots and 1 nurse here. Could staffing issues possibly be a factor in care by human nurses? FWIW imagine getting into a car accident and waking up in the ER to see 4 robots swarming you. Sorry but that's a hard pass for me.

⚠️ THE ROBOT IS ALREADY OUTPERFORMING MOST NURSES. AND THIS IS JUST THE START. Optimus switched on nurse mode and in a few seconds handled what still takes regular staff a solid chunk of time: – pulled the vitals – helped the patient stand – checked the pressure – calmed them down and told them to rest While everyone keeps insisting “care is a human-only job”… the machine is already standing by the bed saying: “Everything is stable. Rest now.”

@JeffBabbit83488 @mattvanswol I would suggest you re-read Justice Thomas' words and perhaps filter out Mr. VanSwol's commentary. Your conclusion is not even close to what Justice Thomas said. He is actually concerned with the constitutionality of the courts decision on this case based on precedent case law.

@mattvanswol So his argument is that the constitution can be changed by an executive order from the President? You’re ok with that. So a future President can make an executive order saying carrying a gun is illegal? You are ok with that?

I have just finished reading Justice Clarence Thomas's 91-page dissent in the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down Trump’s birthright citizenship order. It's incredible. Here's everything you need to know: 🧵

I explained that I was the owner and showed him proof on my phone. His response? “Well, we’re already here.” I stared at him. “Yes.” “And?” “We’ll leave Sunday.” It was Thursday. Thursday. I called the local sheriff. The father’s confidence lasted right up until the patrol vehicle pulled into the driveway. Then suddenly he wanted to negotiate. The deputy wasn’t interested. Neither was I.

DAY 7 of National Gun Violence Awareness Month. And I need you to hear something over the noise. She was screaming for her son. That is the detail that stays with me. Not the blood. Not the chaos. Not the stampede of people pouring toward the exits of a Michigan Walmart on a Saturday afternoon in July. It is the sound of a mother somewhere in that store, screaming for her son, that tells you everything about what kind of moment this was. It is July 26, 2025. Garfield Township, Michigan. 4:40 in the afternoon. A crowded Walmart on a summer Saturday — the kind of afternoon where the parking lot is full and the aisles are full and there are carts and kids and people checking their phones comparing grocery lists. Normal. Ordinary. The specific, unremarkable Saturday afternoon that most of us have lived a hundred times without thinking about it. And then Bradford James Gille walks in. He is 42 years old. He has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia since 1999. Between 2015 and September of 2024 — just ten months before this day — he lived at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Saline, Michigan. His mother told a reporter years ago that her son was fine when he took his medication. The problem, she said, was that his illness told him he was fine and did not need it. He brought a folding knife with a 3.5-inch blade. And he started stabbing people. Randomly. Employees. Shoppers. Anybody within reach. Eleven people in total — six of them critical, five serious — before he turned and walked toward the parking lot. The store erupted. People stampeding. Carts overturning. A woman somewhere screaming for her son. The specific kind of sound that does not leave you, if you have ever heard it. And then Derrick Perry moves. He is a retired United States Marine. An off-duty employee of Munson Healthcare. A man who, by his own description, was in that store for the same reason everyone else was — because it was Saturday and he needed something. He sees Gille heading for the door. He does not run. He follows. In the parking lot, on video that was seen by millions of people on X within hours, Perry draws his legally-carried concealed handgun. He plants himself between Gille and the rest of the world. He shouts at him to drop the knife. And while bystanders around him are calling for him to shoot — people yelling at him to just end it — Derrick Perry holds his ground and holds his fire. Because he is not the judge. He is not the jury. He is not the executioner. He said so himself, on Good Morning America, two days later. "The only thing that separated me from the other gentleman that had stepped in as well was what I was carrying in my hands." Let that sentence sit for a moment. The other gentleman — Matt Kolakowski, also a Marine, who rammed Gille with a shopping cart — was willing but unarmed. Perry was willing AND armed. The gun is what made the difference. Not the willingness. The tool. Gille dropped the knife. Perry held him at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived. Not one additional person was stabbed after Perry drew his weapon. Not one. Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said it plainly at the press conference: "What they did was amazing. It's not very often that we have citizens that are willing to step up and take action." The Traverse City Police Chief called Perry a hero. His daughter posted on Facebook that it was "a proud daughter moment." His daughter-in-law called him "a true hero." People suggested a Presidential Medal of Freedom. And then — as predictable as the sunrise — the national conversation moved on to the next thing, and Derrick Perry went back to his life, shaken in the ways that men who have seen real violence get shaken, and mostly quiet about it, the way Marines tend to be. Bradford James Gille was charged with one count of terrorism and eleven counts of assault with intent to murder. That is what this was legally classified as. Terrorism. And the man who stopped the terrorism? He was carrying a concealed handgun on a Saturday afternoon in Michigan because he has the right to do that. And because of that right — because of that specific, constitutionally protected, politically embattled, orange-ribbon-opposed RIGHT — eleven people were the last victims instead of more. Now let me give you the number that the awareness campaign does not want you connecting to Derrick Perry's story. Because there is a number. And it is extraordinary. In 2025, the homicide rate in the United States dropped to approximately 4.0 per 100,000 people. The Council on Criminal Justice, analyzing data from 40 cities, found homicides fell 21 percent from 2024 alone. The FBI's own preliminary data showed an 18 percent drop in homicides between September 2024 and August 2025. Gun assaults specifically fell 22 percent. Robberies fell 23 percent. If those final numbers hold, 2025 will have the lowest homicide rate ever recorded in law enforcement or public health data going back to 1900. One hundred and twenty-five years of records. And 2025 sits at the bottom. Here is what happened simultaneously, in the same country, during the same years. Since the Supreme Court struck down "may issue" carry laws in Bruen v. New York in June 2022, the number of states with constitutional carry — meaning no permit required to carry a legally-owned firearm — went from a handful to 29. Twenty-nine states. Forty-six point eight percent of the American population now lives in a constitutional carry state. Over 67 percent of the land mass of this country is now constitutional carry territory. Everytown for Gun Safety predicted crime would soar after Bruen. They said it explicitly. More guns, more violence. The data they did not predict: homicides fell 14.9 percent in 2023, another 18 percent in 2024, and another estimated 21 percent in 2025. Three consecutive years of historic drops in violent crime, every single one of them occurring AFTER the largest expansion of legal carry rights in American history. Meanwhile, gun ownership itself hit record highs. Tens of millions of firearms were purchased over the same period. More guns. In more hands. In more states with fewer restrictions. Less crime. Every single year. Three years running. By historic margins. John Lott spent decades running the numbers. More Guns, Less Crime. That was not a talking point. That was 13,312 statistically controlled regressions across every county in America, now confirmed in real-time by the largest crime drop in 125 years happening simultaneously with the largest expansion of carry rights in American history. Quinn's Law Number Six: facts are the enemy of liberalism. And here is the fact that should end this particular argument permanently: the people who told you more armed citizens meant more violence were not just wrong. They were wrong in the most measurable, most documented, most empirically catastrophic way possible. The opposite happened. On the scale of an entire nation. For three straight years. Derrick Perry is not a statistic. He is a Marine who was carrying a handgun on a Saturday afternoon because it is his right to do so, and who used that right to stop a terrorist from stabbing more people in a Michigan Walmart while a mother somewhere in that store screamed for her son. He held his fire when he did not have to. He held his ground when everyone else ran. And then he went home. No congressional medal. No prime-time documentary. No awareness month. Just a man. A gun. And eleven people who went to the hospital instead of the morgue. I think about that mother a lot. The one screaming for her son. I hope she found him. I hope they sat in the parking lot afterward and held each other for a long time without saying anything, the way families do when they realize how close it was. I hope she knows Derrick Perry's name. But what do I know — I am only a combat medic who has heard that specific sound before and who has never once wished there were fewer armed, trained, willing people in the vicinity when it happens. IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. Derrick Perry deserves more than three days and a GMA interview. COMMENT below. You have seen the video. A Marine. A handgun. A terrorist who dropped his knife. What does that tell you? Tell me.

ORES must go! Hochul hates ALL New Yorkers and ALL Americans.

@hopeful468 @BskiMike22802 TLDR version: Business costs go up to hire a worker. Economic choice is not to hire an unskilled worker for the higher rate. This eliminates the poor, under-educated, recent HS graduates, and inexperienced youth. Business invests in established workers, not training or potential

@BskiMike22802 QUESTION: I don’t understand how the min wage kept black people out of employment. Can you explain this as if I’m in 4th grade please?

Your high school history class taught you that America was the center of the transatlantic slave trade. The actual number: 4 to 6 percent of enslaved Africans came to the United States. Brazil got ten times more. Your textbook got it wrong by a factor of TEN. And every single error makes the Great Party Switch myth more believable. That is not an accident. Thread 👇

@WilburPodgeway @littlemisscazzy Problem is,most think they don't need it and will take it off. Perhaps something built into a hearing aid could be practical for dementia patients

OK universe... what on earth. Just found a lovely old lady down the side of my house. Looking for her son. After a brief chat it's blazingly obvious she has dementia. Odd shoes on. Talking of her 19 and 12 year old children (she's well into her 80s) bring her inside as we can't

@BskiMike22802 Great article. If you want to do a follow-up, how about explaining what happened to the older generation that had to give up their 3k sq ft home because they couldn't care for it and children moved away? Nothing left for them to buy, a lifetime stuffed into a 900 sq ft apt.

@menscave7 @MatrixMysteries I respectfully disagree. Meta has plenty of (our) money to put in a closed loop system with active cooling. Zuckerberg is only about the profits. He knows better, but doesn't care. The local officials are greedy, but Zuck is greedier. Do what's right, not what's cheapest.

@MatrixMysteries Ignorant city officials did not do their due diligence and they are to blame, not Mr. Zuckerberg. Now its time to fix the issues, and stop the blame game.

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

@RepTomSuozzi Did you vote yes on the DHS funding bill? Or did you vote an automatic no because "Trump"? How about you actually follow your own advice and work FOR the people you're supposed to represent? Stop the partisan garbage and do some actual work for a change.

We share so much more in common than what divides us. Let’s build a country that reflects our shared values, rewards hard work, and looks forward to the future.

@skcmonastery @EricLDaugh @ACBennett7 What did the rest of NY state have to do with this mess? Only NYC was allowed to vote for mayor. No one screamed "no" louder than upstate conservatives who could see we would get stuck with the tab (and mass exodus) again. You are right, we are not the same.

@EricLDaugh @ACBennett7 No sympathy for NYC or the entire state for that matter. Stay out of the south by the way, we don’t want you down here. You aren’t compatible with our values. Make your mess work or learn to cope.

🚨 OMG. Ugandan Mayor Mamdani just stunned New Yorkers by all but ADMITTING DEFEAT, begging for a state bailout due to the budget crisis He’s also DELAYING the city budget “We need new revenue!” 🤡 You got SWINDLED, NYC! He can’t pay for free sht!

The translation is a little rough, but the points are spot on. Things to remember should you have to deal with a loved one fighting this awful disease

There should be a strong distinction between the demographic cohort of the baby boom, which stretches from ‘46 through ‘64, and the cultural shift away from the Boomers that took place for those of us born post-1956 or so. I never held a draft card, never at risk of being drafted, never considered having to go to ‘Nam. Also eight or ten years removed from participating in the “Summer of Love” or Woodstock. Far more simpatico with Gen X. Hence a huge blurring of the line.

@CourageHabit @annbauerwriter That would indicate you think people over 60 are incapable of rational thought? I think that's a bit harsh. There's a difference between knowing the truth and not caring, and being too absorbed in your daily life. I personally observe more young people in the first category, tbh.

@annbauerwriter Don’t waste your time. She’s 60. All she does is consume legacy media.

Had an experience yesterday with a MN "AWFL" I'd like to share. Nice woman. Autism mom. About 60. She wrote to ask how our move went and send me like a zillion pics from the Renee Good memorial & those Anne Frank quotes everyone in MN is circulating. Friends, I LOST MY SHIT.🧵

@idontexistTore @grok what is this picture of?

@WarNuse In 2008 I was an HRC supporter. My mind boggled at how Soros and TPTB allowed a foreigner to take the nomination without a fight. As I dove deeper, I was appalled at myself for not seeing the Evil. Email servers, Bengahzi. Take pity on Obama voters. Their world is about to crash.

I Have Asked This Question Once Before A Few Years Ago, However, It Is Time To Ask It Again Now That The True Evil Is Finally Surfacing And Starting To Reach The Masses. Many Of Us Have Known About This Evil For Close To A Decade. Some Of What We Have Seen And Heard Can Never Be Erased From Our Memory. 'Things' That Are Beyond Comprehension. 'Things' That Broke Our Hearts To The Point Where It Can Never Truly Be Mended. The Question Is... What Part Of 'The Great Awakening' Has Been The Hardest Part Waking Up To For You Personally? Your Comments Could Be Very Insightful To People Just Waking Up And Joining The Movement. Tell Your Story.

@jane_a_2023 @archer_rs Or Bill Gates "inventing" a computer operating system

@archer_rs We equate it to Henry Ford “inventing” the automobile

Comment from my wife, " I never realised before today that Americans think Thomas Edison invented the light bulb"

@Wareenaa Use your brain

@JoB95752511 @PaulGoldEagle He specifically stated "big tobacco", which refers to the whole package (manufacturing, marketing). He's right- let's target those who corrupted the process! Food is also essential, as are health & veterinary care, etc. Let's be careful to leave no loopholes for them to exploit.

@PaulGoldEagle But I disagree with the Tabaco comment. It's the harmful additives that the industry added to them to make them unsafe. Nicotine is now proving that it has benefits for our bodies, There are vegetables that naturally contain nicotine.

This lawsuit is going to Be huge. It's the beginning end of Big Food..

@RepLangworthy Thank you!

Governor Hochul's dangerous and illogical war on natural gas was just delivered a major blow today as we cleared the final hurdle before this bill can be voted on by the full House. I will not rest until this bill is LAW and YOUR right to affordable, reliable energy options is protected.
