@LizardW7 @kayakestable Yep. Another thing that made him a great president.

@kayakestable So that’s where he was on the night of the Benghazi attack. He was in the Treaty Room, not to plot strategy, not to honor his oath of office, just writing letters.

Los libros de historia pasaron por alto discretamente el hecho de que Barack Obama, durante las noches más saturadas de presión de su presidencia, se retiraba solo a la Sala de Tratados en el segundo piso de la residencia de la Casa Blanca —no para trazar estrategias, no para tomar llamadas, sino para escribir a mano cartas personales a diez ciudadanos estadounidenses comunes cada única noche, una práctica que mantuvo con una devoción casi monástica durante los ocho años completos, seleccionando él mismo las cartas de las 40.000 que llegaban diariamente a la Casa Blanca, y su directora de correspondencia de toda la vida, Fiona Reese, confirmó que Obama a menudo lloraba en privado mientras leía ciertas cartas, doblándolas con cuidado antes de escribir respuestas tan personalmente detalladas y emocionalmente presentes que los destinatarios describían frecuentemente la experiencia de recibirlas como el momento más significativo de sus vidas, con un obrero siderúrgico de Ohio escribiendo de vuelta para decir que la carta de Obama lo había detenido físicamente de tomar una decisión que habría alterado permanentemente el futuro de su familia. Lo que hace que esta práctica sea casi insoportablemente conmovedora es el detalle que surgió después —Obama nunca usó una computadora para estas cartas, siempre un bolígrafo de punta de fieltro negro, siempre papel legal amarillo primero como borrador, siempre reescrito a mano una segunda vez en el papel membretado de la Casa Blanca, porque él creía, como le dijo a la historiadora Doris Kearns Goodwin en una rara conversación privada después relatada en su obra de 2018, que el acto físico de presionar la pluma contra el papel obligaba a una calidad de atención que simplemente teclear no podía replicar, una filosofía arraigada en sus años como profesor de derecho constitucional en la Universidad de Chicago de 1992 a 2004, donde desarrolló la convicción de que la democracia solo funciona cuando sus líderes permanecen genuinamente, incómodamente cerca de la gravedad específica del sufrimiento humano individual en lugar de procesarlo desde la distancia aislante de las instituciones y las pantallas.

@mccane_w77151 @sheilatebra Ok moron.

@sheilatebra All speed limit signs apply only to commercial drivers. The word "traffic" refers to the engagement in commerce upon the public highways. The "police" are nothing more than policy enforcement agents for the corporation, USA Inc. See Right To Travel

Anonymous Got pulled over last week. Speeding. I was doing 50 in a 35. No excuse. I was late for work and being stupid. Cop walks up. I'm ready for the lecture and ticket. Calculating if I can afford it. He looks at my license. Looks at me. "You know why I pulled you over?" I nod. "Yeah. I was speeding. I'm sorry." He hands me back my license. No ticket. "Slow down. Get to work safe." And he walks back. I sat there confused. Waited for him to come back with the ticket. He didn’t. Just drove away. Left me with a warning that wasn’t even formal. Just "slow down." I got to work. Told my coworker. He laughed. "You got lucky." But it didn’t feel like luck. Someone saw me having a bad morning and chose not to make it worse. Could've written that ticket. Should've. Didn't. Two days ago I'm driving home. See a car pulled over on the shoulder. Hazards on. Hood up. Pouring rain. Almost kept driving. Almost. Then I thought about that cop. About how he could've made my day worse and didn’t. I pulled over. Guy’s soaked. Car overheated. Called him a tow truck. Waited 30 minutes in the rain so he wasn’t alone. He tried to pay me. I said no... He asked why I stopped. I told him about the cop. About the ticket I didn’t get. About how someone gave me a break and it made me want to give someone else a break. He said, "I hope that cop knows what he started." I hope he does too. One traffic stop where mercy was chosen over money has turned into at least two people helping strangers. And I’m not stopping. 🤍

@McNu66106 @harshcritic1985 @AP Your anti semitism is showing. Terrorist lover.

@harshcritic1985 @AP We've got to dump Israel — they're just sucking us into a quagmire and acting like Nazis to the Palestinians. We get nothing in return except bad P.R. with the countries who were once our allies. Trump and Netanyatu are covering their own asses, and hurting everyone else.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump says service member rescued in Iran is injured but "will be just fine" and that US was monitoring his location. Follow AP's live updates. apnews.com/live/iran-war-…

@BurlHill2 @Angry_Staffer @terriehorton304 And yet the truth has come out that you're wrong. As usual

There’s currently a frantic search taking place for two US pilots who were shot down in Iran, and this idiot is talking about taking the oil.

@stylingmyles @Doranimated @jmurtazashvili So, exactly what Israel did in Gaza after Hamas attacked and brutally murdered citizens, seniors and babies...

@Doranimated @jmurtazashvili The world is watching is horror. This will not go well for Israel and the US in the history books. You dont start a fight with a guy in a china shop, and act surprised when the victim fights back and plates get smashed.

The world is truly upside down! The Washington Post has published a brilliant article, written by, get this, a professor! To give you some flavor, here are a few choice lines by @jmurtazashvili: 1) "We are living through the first alt-war: a conflict in which the war fought online and the war fought in reality have diverged so completely that they might as well be happening on different planets. It’s not that people lack information, it’s more that they are constructing an entirely different alternate reality — one that confirms what they already believe." 2) "What worries me more than the fake videos are the people who cannot fathom that this war is going well for the United States, for Israel and maybe even for the long-suffering people of Iran. The strategic picture is more favorable than the online narrative suggests." 3) "Two weeks into the war, I watch otherwise reasonable analysts sprint to catastrophe. Former officials, thinktank scholars, credentialed professionals who are supposed to know how to read a conflict. Within days they had written the obituary: quagmire, overreach, disaster." 4) "The liberal internationalist left and the isolationist right — two camps that have agreed on almost nothing for decades — have suddenly found themselves in lockstep, racing to declare the war a failure before it had barely begun. This is the new blob: not the old foreign-policy establishment that the term originally described but a new amalgamation that has arrived at the same conclusion from opposite directions. Together they are the most powerful engine of the alt-war." The truth. In the mainstream media. By a professor. And written well. Four things I thought I'd never see again in my lifetime.

@jack2020anon @MahyarTousi You mean like the Hamas maggots do?

@MahyarTousi At some point they’ve got to start hiding in hospitals

If this gets confirmed, the IRGC are fucked.

@d2fl @Angry_Staffer Because we aren't paying employees, but have money to burn on this stupid $hit

@Angry_Staffer What bad message does it send? This was likely a scheduled check ride for the pilot and SecWar just tagged along. There was likely even a larger than normal barf bag in case he was hung over.

A ride along in a fighter jet would be awesome, but it probably sends a bad message for the Cabinet to be cosplaying in the middle of a shutdown

@rahul_abr @JoJoFromJerz Go back to your mother's couch in India, troll.

@JoJoFromJerz Ah yes, protesting a king that doesn’t exist, next up: marching against unicorns in Times Square 🦄

Yes!!!!!!

@DemsInDecline @Angry_Staffer Apparently you hate this country and want the government to operate in complete secrecy, except for their Pravda.

@Angry_Staffer outlets who follow the new rules are rewarded with viewership. Pretty difficult concept for others to comprehend, it seems.

“The policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media representative who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.” Absolute fucking abomination.

@bennyjohnson Pathetically sad. What a small small child.

@MWonko42 @NTarnopolsky There was. If Hamas didn't murder 1200 innocent people on 10/7 and beg for Israel to respond. Not hard to figure out.

@NTarnopolsky Awwww, the poor smol-bean Israeli people are tired, especially the ones that have turned Gaza into a charnel house. Poor 'lil dudes if only there had been some way to prevent that

💥"At the two-year mark of the greatest defeat in the country’s 77-year history, Israelis find themselves mentally and physically exhausted, and not only the 295,000 reservists who have been called up again and again. Some 83,000 Israelis emigrated in 2024, 50 percent more than the previous year. Seven members of the Israeli military died by suicide in July and August alone." An excellent 2-year roundup from @NYTimesCohen. nytimes.com/2025/10/05/wor…

@SHdonttweet @NTarnopolsky @ryangrim Pallywood is sunk

@NTarnopolsky @ryangrim They're sunk.

@MAGAtSlayer77 @Zimmlaw175 You missed the whole point

@Zimmlaw175 I study history and I'm pretty sure the Japanese didn't occupy our land or commit a genocide against us so I fail to see parallels in these two situations

After the Pearl Harbor we waged total war on Japan, burned Tokyo to the ground, nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki and demanded and received the total and unconditional surrender of Japan, after which we occupied it for seven years, tried and hung its leaders and even wrote the constitution for its new government. The “Palestinians” get a state for committing 10/7, Israel’s Pearl Harbor and 9-11 combined.

@TheMagaHulk @BrookeSingman I thought 2A was about gun rights for all. I guess only when you don't like that person.

@BrookeSingman Individuals transitioning to another gender must forfeit their right to own a gun.

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner, sources tell me. The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully cooperating with the FBI. Sources tell me the FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter.

@SeanMcCarthyCom "Palestine " has been free since Israel left it in Gazan hands. They voted in terrorists as their leadership. FAFO.

@CV_Dalcher Bye Felicia. FAFO

I‘m back temporarily for one reason and one reason only: To voice my absolute shock and disgust at the arrest of Graham Linehan—the latest in a long line of events that mark the end of a once great nation. And it is, in fact, the end. 1/

@SaladinNYC @LionsOfZion_ORG You live in new York. How do you think America got this land ?

@LionsOfZion_ORG Land theft Nothing new You been doing it since 1967

Good morning, enjoy what you asked for. The Israeli Finance Minister announces the annexation of Judea and Samaria. What is your opinion on this move?

@being_jackson @dr_demetre Yep. That he's smarter than you.

@dr_demetre All I needed to see was that he felt the need to add his pronouns at the end. That told me all I needed to know.

My resignation letter from CDC. Dear Dr. Houry, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effective August 28, 2025, close of business.   I am happy to stay on for two weeks to provide transition, if requested. This decision has not come easily, as I deeply value the work that the CDC does in safeguarding public health and am proud of my contributions to that critical mission. However, after much contemplation and reflection on recent developments and perspectives brought to light by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., I find that the views he and his staff have shared challenge my ability to continue in my current role at the agency and in the service of the health of the American people. Enough is enough. While I hold immense respect for the institution and my colleagues, I believe that it is imperative to align my professional responsibilities to my system of ethics and my understanding of the science of infectious disease, immunology, and my promise to serve the American people.  This step is necessary to ensure that I can contribute effectively in a capacity that allows me to remain true to my principles. I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.  The recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.   The data analyses that supported this decision have never been shared with CDC despite my respectful requests to HHS and other leadership.  This lack of meaningful engagement was further compounded by a “frequently asked questions” document written to support the Secretary’s directive that was circulated by HHS without input from CDC subject matter experts and that cited studies that did not support the conclusions that were attributed to these authors.  Having worked in local and national public health for years, I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people. It is untenable to serve in an organization that is not afforded the opportunity to discuss decisions of scientific and public health importance released under the moniker of CDC.  The lack of communication by HHS and other CDC political leadership that culminates in social media posts announcing major policy changes without prior notice demonstrate a disregard of normal communication channels and common sense.  Having to retrofit analyses and policy actions to match inadequately thought-out announcements in poorly scripted videos or page long X posts should not be how organizations responsible for the health of people should function.  Some examples include the announcement of the change in the COVID-19 recommendations for children and pregnant people, the firing of scientists from ACIP by X post and an op-ed rather than direct communication with these valuable experts, the announcement of new ACIP members by X before onboarding and vetting have completed, and the release of term of reference for an ACIP workgroup that ignored all feedback from career staff at CDC. The recent term of reference for the COVID vaccine work group created by this ACIP puts people of dubious intent and more dubious scientific rigor in charge of recommending vaccine policy to a director hamstrung and sidelined by an authoritarian leader.   Their desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults.  Their base should be the people they serve not a political voting bloc. I have always been first to challenge scientific and public health dogma in my career and was excited by the opportunity to do so again.  I was optimistic that there would be an opportunity to brief the Secretary about key topics such as measles, avian influenza, and the highly coordinated approach to the respiratory virus season.  Such briefings would allow exchange of ideas and a shared path to support the vision of “Making America Healthy Again.”  We are seven months into the new administration, and no CDC subject matter expert from my Center has ever briefed the Secretary.  I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us.  Unvetted and conflicted outside organizations seem to be the sources HHS use over the gold standard science of CDC and other reputable sources.  At a hearing, Secretary Kennedy said that Americans should not take medical advice from him.  To the contrary, an appropriately briefed and inquisitive Secretary should be a source of health information for the people he serves. As it stands now, I must agree with him, that he should not be considered a source of accurate information. The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines favoring natural infection and unproven remedies will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer.  I believe in nutrition and exercise.  I believe in making our food supply healthier, and I also believe in using vaccines to prevent death and disability.  Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated and is derivative of a legacy that good medicine and science should continue to shun. The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning.  My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so.  I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud.   I am resigning because of the cowardice of a leader that cannot admit that HIS and his minions’ words over decades created an environment where violence like this can occur.  I reject his and his colleagues’ thoughts and prayers, and advise they direct those to people that they have not actively harmed. For decades, I have been a trusted voice for the LGBTQ community when it comes to critical health topics.  I must also cite the recklessness of the administration in their efforts to erase transgender populations, cease critical domestic and international HIV programming, and terminate key research to support equity as part of my decision. Public health is not merely about the health of the individual, but it is about the health of the community, the nation, the world. The nation’s health security is at risk and is in the hands of people focusing on ideological self-interest. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunities for growth, learning, and collaboration that I have been afforded during my time at the CDC. It has been a privilege to work alongside such dedicated professionals who are committed to improving the health and well-being of communities across the nation even when under attack from within both physically and psychologically. Thank you once again for the support and guidance I have received from you and previous CDC leadership throughout my tenure. I wish the CDC continued success in its vital mission and that HHS reverse its dangerous course to dismantle public health as a practice and as an institution.  If they continue the current path, they risk our personal well-being and the security of the United States. Sincerely, Demetre C. Daskalakis MD MPH (he/his/him)
