well, because Trump appeals to the basis lowest common demon denominator of humanity those people are always going to block to someone who is as damaged and sick and cruel and ugly as they are But it's the rich oligarchs who are running him and blackmailing him and protecting him at the same time who are going to benefit he's just another puppet being used for their own best interest. And we are the poor schmuck being destroyed by this unholy trinity of greed, perversion and ego.
JFDIV@jfdiv41

@RCdeWinter How can anyone defend/support this thoroughly horrible man? How can his blatant abuse,theft & mockery of the institutions & laws of this nation be excused, set aside or tolerated? Why is this undeniably inept, ignorant, arrogant, criminal narcissist allowed to destroy our world?

So to clarify, Baylor Coll Med licensed our low-cost protein Covid vaccine technology to four entities: BioE (India), BioFarma (Indonesia), Incepta (Bangladesh), ImmunityBio (U.S./S. Africa). The first two produced and delivered 100 million vaccine doses as Corbevax for India and IndoVac for Indonesia, showing we could bypass big pharma
Dr. Chris Baker@drchrisbaker

I’m trying to reconcile in my mind these two posts about what Dr Patrick has to say about the vaccines. It doesn’t make sense that he was Hotez’s C19 vaccine partner. Dr Hotez is very pro vaccines. Which was/is Patrick’s stance? x.com/makismedicine/…

we can only hope. I think many many more people are getting more done with it every day but dislodging the traitors and Congress and the department of government is going to be another trick. They're the ones who are using Trump as the instrument of our destruction and they're the ones who are really going to profit in the end

Kim and @realDonaldTrump been writing each other weekly love letters over the past few years, letters far more beautiful than any others you've ever seen. The letters would cause big, strong men to wail uncontrollably.
Josh Rogin@joshrogin

It’s unlikely Kim Jong Un told Trump that Joe Biden is “a mentally retarded person,” as Trump claims. But it’s even harder to believe because as far as we know, Trump last talked to Kim before Biden was even president.

From democracy to dictatorship is a shorter leap than many people think. The similarities of 2026 Trump America and 1938 Nazi Germany are striking. As of April 2026, historians, political scientists, and former administration officials have identified several parallels between the rhetoric and actions of the fascist authoritarian Trump regime and 1930s Nazi Germany, particularly regarding the erosion of democratic norms and the use of state power against political opponents. Rhetorical and Ideological Parallels * Dehumanizing Language: Critics and historians note that Trump’s use of terms like "vermin" to describe political opponents and "poisoning the blood" regarding immigrants mirrors the dehumanizing language used by Adolf Hitler and other fascist leaders to scapegoat minorities and political enemies. * Attacks on the Press: Trump’s frequent labeling of mainstream media as "fake news" has been compared to the Nazi-era term Lügenpresse ("press of lies"), used to delegitimize independent journalism. * Cult of Personality: Experts argue that Trump fosters a cult of personality where his perceived strength and aura take precedence over policy or factual arguments, a hallmark of 1920s and 1930s fascist movements. * "Enemies from Within": Trump’s rhetoric regarding an "enemy from within," specifically targeting "radical left lunatics" and Democratic politicians, aligns with historical fascist strategies of identifying internal threats to justify authoritarian measures. Institutional and Structural Parallels * Weaponization of the Justice System: Observers highlight Trump’s repeated threats to investigate and prosecute political rivals as a parallel to the Nazi strategy of using "lawfare" to eliminate opposition. * Gleichschaltung (Coordination): Efforts to align federal agencies with personal and party loyalty—such as replacing military leaders with loyalists and centralizing executive control—draw comparisons to the Nazi policy of Gleichschaltung, the enforced alignment of all national institutions. * Militias and Political Violence: Trump’s "stand by" instruction to the Proud Boys and his encouragement of self-recruiting militias are frequently cited as modern echoes of the SA and SS paramilitaries used to intimidate political opponents. Influence on the 2026 Midterm Elections The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) has become a central part of Trump America's parallels to 1930s Nazi Germany, specifically regarding the centralized control of the democratic process. These are some of the institutional and structural parallels between 1930s Nazi Germany and 2026 Trump America as the midterm elections approach. The SAVE Act and Voter Roll Control * Nationalization of Voter Rolls: In early 2026, after Trump intensified his push for the SAVE Act. By requiring federal proof of citizenship for all federal elections and granting the executive branch power to "audit" state voter rolls, the act effectively strips states of their constitutional authority to manage elections. * The "Purge" Mechanism: Historians note a parallel to 1930s "legal coordination," where laws were passed to systematically disenfranchise specific groups. The SAVE Act allows the federal government to flag and remove "suspect" voters from rolls — often targeting naturalized citizens and minority groups — under the guise of "election integrity." * Bureaucratic Obstacles: Much like the 1935 Nuremberg Laws (which began by defining who was a "citizen" with the right to vote), the SAVE Act uses documentation requirements to create a tiered system of citizenship, making it harder for opposition-leaning demographics to remain on the rolls. Impact on the 2026 Midterms * Mass De-registrations: In the lead-up to the midterms, the administration has used the SAVE Act's provisions to challenge the eligibility of millions of voters in "Blue" districts within swing states. * Disruption of Local Authority: By giving federal agents loyal to Trump the power to intervene in local voter registration, the Act has caused chaos in election offices, leading to a wave of resignations among non-partisan election officials who refuse to implement the "purges." * Pre-emptive Challenges: The Act allows the fascist authoritarian Trump regime to challenge election results before a single vote is cast by claiming the "rolls are corrupted," providing a legal pretext to contest any losses in November 2026. * Executive Orders on Voting: In March 2026, Trump signed a sweeping executive order targeting mail-in voting and seeking to impose new federal rules on local election organizers. * Targeting Election Officials: The administration has been accused of a coordinated campaign to dismantle federal election security agencies and pressure local election workers. * Use of "Lawfare" Against Candidates: There are concerns that the Department of Justice (DOJ) may be used to harass or disqualify opposition candidates in competitive 2026 races. * Proposed Election Subversion: Analysts have outlined potential scenarios where the administration could deploy troops near polling places or have federal agents seize voting machines to influence outcomes. Recent Military Leadership Changes Widespread Firings: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has overseen the removal or forced retirement of more than 20 high-ranking generals and admirals since returning to office. Joint Chiefs of Staff Purge: Almost the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff has been remade, with only the Commandant of the Marine Corps and the Head of Space Force remaining from the previous leadership. Allegations of a "Loyalty Purge" Targeting "Non-Loyalists": Reports from outlets like The Washington Post and NBC News indicate that while many removals occur without official explanation, Hegseth has frequently criticized leaders he perceives as lacking loyalty to President Trump. "Woke" Ideology as a Pretext: Hegseth has publicly targeted officers who championed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, describing such leadership as "woke" and inconsistent with his vision for the military. Impact of the Iran Conflict: The ongoing war with Iran has reportedly intensified these purges, with some officials being removed following disagreements over the scope and success of military operations.

Yes, among people who refused Covid vaccines during the delta and BA.1 omicron waves in 2021-22, that resulted in 200,000-300,000 needless deaths. They were victims of antivaccine activism driven by politics and the corrupt wellness/influencer industry pushing ivermectin, which did nothing for Covid. My two books about this attached
Carl Johnson@ChartaResearch

@MauritzPreller @jsm2334 @FelixFaustus @SHomburg @USMortality Quote Fauci: "Peter Hotez has done an analysis of this and shows that in people who refuse to get vaccinated for any variety of reasons, probably responsible for an additional 200,000 to 300,000 deaths in this country."

BREAKING: Iranian General just sent this message to the Iranian people: "Prepare and be at the highest state of readiness, for the United States and Israel will attack Iran by land in the coming hours. It seems that a U.S. ground attack on Iran is imminent." Seems the 'negotiations' aren't going well unfortunately.

This painting is known as the Prado Mona Lisa, a near identical version of the famous Mona Lisa. It was created in early 16th Century by a student working in the workshop of Leonardo da Vinci, likely alongside the master himself. For centuries, the Prado version was overlooked, covered by a dark background that hid its true significance. But during restoration work in 2012 at the Museo del Prado, conservators removed the overpaint and revealed a landscape nearly identical to the original. That discovery confirmed it was painted at the same time as the Mona Lisa, not copied later. What makes it so valuable is its condition. The Prado version has suffered less aging and varnish distortion, meaning details like the eyebrows, facial contours, and background colors appear clearer than in the Louvre’s version. It gives historians a rare look at how the Mona Lisa may have originally appeared over 500 years ago. Infrared analysis showed that both paintings share nearly identical underdrawings and corrections, suggesting the student was working side by side with da Vinci, following his process stroke by stroke as the original was being created. #archaeohistories
