My stance is simple: I’m anti-genocide, I’m anti-genocide by bombs, by climate, by virus. People are getting wiped out at various speeds and each of us has to put our sentience to good use. #ClimateAction #Palestine #Israel #covid

He spent his life denying the science within his own field so he could vilify trans children and made millions convincing men around the world that the root of their problems is women. I'll save my empathy for the children of Gaza he was also fine seeing slaughtered

“Always blaming people, never the system” is such an accurate description of the liberal shell game. The system’s intolerance to the will of the people relies on their participation to manifest the illusion and perpetually give false hope of change.

If you're Jewish or non-Jewish, please, let the world know: Video from last night in Monroe NY, The message was unmistakable: “We oppose and have no part in Zionism and State of israel” Not fringe. Not small.

Ironic that Marco Rubio’s parents fled a dictator in Cuba - only to have little Marco do the bidding of a dictator in America.

If you think there was any 'mutual agreement' here you're an idiot. Project Freedom was clearly a disaster, and Trump is backing out of it. The problem is he is running out of bad ideas, and only *very* bad ideas remain.

I’m old enough to remember when the Strait of Hormuz was open.

Remember Rachel Corrie; she stood in front of a bulldozer without fear because she stood for humanity.

NEWS: IRANIAN NAVY ORDERS U.S NAVY WARSHIP TO RETREAT & LEAVE STRAIT OF HORMUZ The U.S. Navy Warship immediately complied.

@MarioNawfal I think you mean the war is lost.

REPEAT AFTER ME: THE WAR IS OVER

🚨🚨 A new report from The New York Times reveals FDA officials blocked publication of taxpayer-funded studies showing COVID-19 and shingles vaccines are SAFE, with serious side effects extremely rare. Health experts are calling this an act of censorship. Calls for investigations are already growing.

Hot Take: The Odyssey source material isn't actually good.

Philip K Dick anticipated with his satire of coin-vending use of doors in Ubik. That’s not far off.

Why do people psychologize Long COVID? Why have people psychologized ME/CFS for decades? I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I think I finally figured it out. It's not that doctors are stupid or cruel. It's that the alternative to "you're crazy" is "our entire society is organized in a way that sacrifices people like you, and we know it, and we've decided the cost of fixing it is too high." Psychologization isn't a diagnostic error. It's a defense mechanism. Not for the patient, but for society. If a common virus can destroy a healthy person's life, then every school, every office, every restaurant, every airplane is a potential site of life-altering harm. That's an intolerable reality for a society built on the assumption that showing up is safe. So the person who got destroyed becomes the anomaly. The anxious one. The one with pre-existing vulnerabilities. The one whose personality predisposed them. Anything to keep the virus from being the cause, because if the virus is the cause, then every subsequent infection is a policy choice.

But it’s the screens and lockdown from five years ago.

I feel like make-believe time is over the way eventually ‘smoking is good for you’ had its day.

A boomer Democrat attacking the left from his death bed is generational commitment to the bit.

BREAKING: The Fujairah port is burning after multiple Iranian strikes hit the only remaining UAE oil export outlet and endpoint of the pipeline UAE built to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

War back on, I guess follow your leader's advice Americans and keep driving downhill.
