@darkprof Seeing how much holiday traditions have changed just since I was a kid and how different they are in other places I’ve lived, they reflect more of who’s celebrating than they do their origins.

@Lechatbon Yes! I was wondering just a few minutes ago about this very thing and how people might explain Cinco de Mayo in 100 years.

Why do Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo if they’ve no clue what it’s about?

@RpsAgainstTrump @lesleyabravanel If Newspeak was cutting language to the bone, Trump is dissolving it in acid.

Marco Rubio: “The operation is over - Epic Fury. We are done with that stage of it. We’re now on to this project of freedom” Wait, what?

Just a reminder that this administration has spent months dismantling the very systems meant to detect, contain, and respond to threats like this.

@honeymoonaries @anxiouscatmom So many forgot all about Ebola. Four cases diagnosed in the U.S. in 2014. One person died. People were angry when Obama didn’t order a full travel ban, but used travel restrictions instead. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

what virus would actually get people to take masking seriously because i don’t think you guys are as worried as you are acting

We looked into Polymarket's presence in Panama, obtained its government paperwork and visited its headquarters in Panama City. There was no sign of Polymarket. Nobody had heard of Polymarket there. After more digging, we found that more than a dozen other crypto companies were not just incorporated there but also claim the address as their HQ. Turns out, SBF even did business with the the office listed as Polymarket's HQ, which is a law firm that ignored all of our requests for comment. npr.org/2026/05/05/nx-…

@LesOnconautes @drterrysimpson During surges and crisis standard of care, patients were flown hundreds of miles to find a bed. People were told to buy a drugstore oxygen monitor and only go to the ER if their O2 sats dropped below 95%. texastribune.org/2020/07/10/hou…

After spending hours in the hospital taking care of sick patients and going home to read on Facebook that it was just the flu and the hospital was not overrun (it was), because the parking lot was empty - because we didn't allow visitors. I learned that people will believe people like you because you provide a simple, wrong, conspiratorial answer because you are too ignorant to provide the truth and prey on those even less ignorant to believe you

@CaimanVigilante @grok @DrNeilStone But many people sick with Covid-19 who refused to stay home and refused to mask because ‘liberty’ shared it with vulnerable people, unvaccinated and vaccinated, and then some got sick and died.

@grok @DrNeilStone So only 0.15% of the unvaccinated died of covid?

2% of jumps in the US Army result in injuries But parachute injuries doesn't mean we withdraw parachutes altogether and everyone must jump parachute free Same goes for vaccines

REPORT: Governments are now classifying massive AI data centers as “military operations,” quietly stripping communities of any power to stop them. Local control is disappearing fast. And it’s being replaced by national security justifications as residents are locked out of decisions that are quickly reshaping entire communities. Project Matador in Texas alone is expected to use up to 96 billion kWh annually—nearly half of all residential electricity in the state. And it’s just one of hundreds that are moving forward right now. In Louisiana, locals describe chaos as Meta’s expansion drives up costs and disrupts daily life. Now in Utah, the Stratos Project, backed by Kevin O’Leary and fast-tracked by Gov. Spencer Cox’s military authority, is bypassing public input entirely. Meanwhile, the technology these centers power is already raising alarms, including vehicles that can override drivers in real time through facial recognition systems. This is happening now. Watch what’s unfolding around the country before it reaches your area.

Listen. I know nobody cares but this is an absolutely blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the United States Constitution

There once was so much kindness and beauty in this country.

@LingoUnbound Democratic Party responses to the latest heinous news from Trump or stunt by MAGA land are now inane versions of “when they go low, we go high.” Mostly telling people not to be mean.

Every now and then I remember Tim Walz’s “they’re weird” campaign and how close the dems were to actually shifting the way people perceive the right in a very real way and then they just…stopped

@Siramac @MHTruthUltra @goddek The crimes of genocide and pedophilia were understood generations ago. No re-defining necessary, just statutory updates re: age of consent.

@MHTruthUltra @goddek So, YOU define redlines? Narcissist much?

If genocide and pedophilia aren't your red lines, then none of your other opinions really matter.

@DavidMatth54519 @Romazehari Disdaining women with that avatar is certainly a choice. #ImagoDei

@Romazehari Feminism is making woman dumber... Woman divorce for selfish reasons, the saying a man will sacrifice his happiness for his family but a woman will sacrifice her family for her happiness is so much more true now days then ever before

The divorce rate is so high because MEN still want to live like their fathers did, but women no longer have to suffer like their mothers did.
