MAGA account freaks out over Muslims giving away free healthcare

Impeachment can be done within hours and full removal within days Why aren’t they impeaching him? The constitution very clearly says congress must aprrove a war

One billion to prevent sustainable energy is insane. Not only are we lighting a billion dollars on fire, we are hurting our overall energy production.

This video is 5 years old and the guy in it was caught breaking into someone’s home.

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨

@GLSnj @Hamiltonstears That is the point: it is already illegal, the world is on fire and y’all want to codify something that’s already a law

@Hamiltonstears I still don't understand the democrats refusal to codify what's already illegal... they claim it never happens yet they fight tooth and nail to keep anyone from looking into violations... seems to me they are cheating and want to continue to get away with it

5 states have looked for non-citizens that managed to get registered. Utah found 1 out of 2.1 million voters; Georgia found 20 out of 8.2 million, Michigan found 3 in one county out of 724K voters, Louisiana found 390 out of 2.9 million (shame on you Mister Speaker), and Idaho found 36 out of 1 million. Illegals don't vote. Why should they. Trying to register to vote is a good way to get caught and be deported.

The war in the Strait of Hormuz will reach your local pharmacy within six weeks. Not because your pharmacist follows geopolitics. Because the active pharmaceutical ingredients in roughly half of America’s generic prescriptions begin as petrochemical derivatives manufactured in India, and India’s petrochemical industry begins as crude oil that transited 21 miles of water that closed on March 4. Nearly 70 percent of the active ingredients in US generic drugs are produced in India. India imports approximately 40 percent of its crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz. The crude feeds refineries that produce naphtha. The naphtha feeds petrochemical crackers that produce intermediates. The intermediates feed pharmaceutical plants in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Hyderabad that produce the API, the active pharmaceutical ingredient, that is shipped to contract manufacturers in the United States, Europe, and across Asia. The chain from the strait to the tablet is six steps long. Every step requires the one before it. CNBC reported that the Hormuz closure puts America’s generic drug supply at risk. Fierce Pharma warned of longer-term effects on US manufacturing and generics. Think Global Health mapped the pharmaceutical supply chains most vulnerable to disruption. The consensus across trade publications, health policy analysts, and industry executives is identical: four to six weeks of current inventory exists in the pipeline. After that, shortages begin with the most complex formulations first. Cancer drugs are the highest risk. Biologics requiring cold-chain storage have the shortest shelf life and the longest replenishment cycle. Clinical trial medications depend on uninterrupted supply chains that are now interrupted. Insulin analogues, antivirals, and cardiac medications all contain intermediates sourced from Indian manufacturers whose input costs are rising with every day the strait remains closed. Air cargo is the emergency bypass. But air freight rates from India have climbed 200 to 350 percent on some routes since the war began, according to logistics tracking firms. Gulf air capacity is down 79 percent because airports in the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar have been damaged or operate under restricted conditions. The Suez Canal route adds 10 to 14 days to maritime shipping times. The Cape of Good Hope route adds 21 to 28 days. Both alternatives assume the Red Sea remains navigable, which the Houthi threat has complicated since 2024. The World Health Organisation reported a 70 percent funding gap for its operational response in the region. Medical supply chains to Iran itself have been devastated, with hospitals reporting shortages of surgical supplies, blood products, and anaesthetics. But the downstream pharmaceutical effect extends far beyond the war zone. Every Indian manufacturer that pays more for crude pays more for naphtha, pays more for intermediates, and passes the cost forward into API prices that American generic drug companies absorb until they cannot absorb any further. The molecule does not know it is a medicine. The strait does not know it is a pharmacy. The petrochemical derivative that becomes a blood pressure tablet transits the same water as the petrochemical derivative that becomes a fertiliser pellet. Both are trapped. Both have shelf lives. Both have planting windows or prescription refill cycles that do not negotiate with blockades. Six weeks. Then the pharmacy starts calling patients about substitutions. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@theliamnissan We all tried to warn the f*ckers. They didn’t listen.

So when are white parents going to be charged, convicted, and sentenced for the acts of their children for school shootings?

@MattMorgan29A “Opposed to Voter ID” ≠ “Opposed to the SAVE act.”

Annapolis House Democrats vote down a voter ID amendment. 83% of Americans support voter ID, but unfortunately, 100% of Annapolis Democrats are opposed to it. I wonder why?

@J01804787 @MCPS *ahem*

@MCPS This school system is a JOKE

UPDATE: Code Blue–Early Dismissal for Monday, March 16, due to severe storms possible at dismissal. Visit the MCPS website for more information.

@JustinWeather I am more than a little worried that the orange area of the forecast map is a lot further north than it was 24 hours ago

This is the SEVERE OUTLOOK For Monday March 16 ⚠️ It was Issued by NOAA on Saturday... So this is Day 3 It is RARE for our region to have this ENHANCED RISK, especially this far ahead of time! This is not exaggeration AND I hope these following details will enhance awareness AND lower fear! I would just rather we all be prepared. 📣 IMPORTANT This is POTENTIAL, NOT A PROMISE! 💪 ⛈️ A line of storms will be Strong to Severe. ⏰ My suggestion on Timing for most of our region will be 4 PM to 10 PM. May be a little earlier in the mountains. 👀 Day time conditions will determine the energy available and more specific timing. ‼️ ALERTS: WATCHES are Issued when the conditions are present for these storms to form. They cover a broad areas and often time window about 6 hours. WARNINGS are issued when a storm with these conditions is actually happening. Then tracked through counties and specific towns in a shorter window of time. 🌪️ Multiple Tornadoes are possible 🧊 Hail OVER 1" diameter is standard criteria for a storm to be considered 'Severe' 💨 Winds OVER 58 mph is standard criteria for a storm to be considered 'Severe' ⚡️ Lightning can be dangerous in any thunderstorm, even if not severe.

Seems like the most important post in the world right now.

@mrddmia Staged assassination scene in banner photo, opinion disregarded

Fuck off, Kirsten.

Dyshan Best came home to Bridgeport, Connecticut to bury a friend. He was 39. A truck driver. He never made it home from the funeral. What you've seen in the headlines is a story about a police officer's anxiety attack. That is not what this story is about. It starts with a chaotic scene. Roughly thirty people. A fight. Someone called 911 and said some of them had guns. Police arrived. Dyshan Best wasn't fighting. He was sitting in a parked car. Passenger seat. A drink. A vape pen. His phone. A witness pointed toward the car. That was enough. Officer Perrotta walked over and opened the door. No warrant. No crime observed. When she mentioned a firearm, Best pointed out through the windshield, away from himself, and said the gun was somewhere else. Then he ran. Officer Heo chased him. Dyshan Best was shot in the back. On the ground: "I got shot." The officer: "You pulled a gun on me." Best: "No I didn't." The state ruled the shooting justified. The family's attorney has filed a $40 million lawsuit, saying new video evidence shows conclusively Best was unarmed. The inspector general disputes this. The gun recovered near where Best fell has not been confirmed as his in any public reporting. That dispute is ongoing. But here's what this post is saying plainly: It does not matter. Best was a passenger in a parked car, stopped without a warrant, without an observed crime. Connecticut is a concealed carry state; possessing a firearm with a permit is a legal right. The state never established his permit status. The inspector general's report, by available accounts, did not ask. And even Best's own attorney, who disputes the gun entirely, made the structural point most clearly: "I don't care if you see someone running down the street with a gun. If there's no felony you can articulate, you let them run. You don't chase people down and shoot them in the streets." Whatever was or wasn't in his hand, that remains true. The bullet tore through his liver and right kidney. The kind of injury where minutes matter. The first ambulance arrived at 6:02 p.m. Dispatch had labeled the call: stab / gunshot / penetrating trauma. Multiple officers on scene told the paramedics to take their partner first. Officer Perrotta got in. Then she declined treatment. Her words, recorded in the paramedics' official report: "I am fine. I just needed to get out of here." Not injured. Not treated. She simply wanted to leave. The ambulance drove away. 6:02 p.m. — First ambulance arrives. Diverted to Perrotta. 6:08 p.m. — Perrotta reaches hospital. Declines treatment. 6:22 p.m. — Best reaches hospital. 14 minutes later. 7:41 p.m. — Dyshan Best is pronounced dead. The inspector general could not determine whether the delay contributed to his death. No charges were filed. The department will investigate itself. The headline called this an officer's "mild anxiety attack." That framing matters. It takes a coordinated decision by multiple officers: documented in the paramedics' own records, and converts it into one person's medical episode. It makes a choice look like a condition. And "mild" cannot survive contact with Perrotta's own words. She wasn't in crisis. She said so herself. The headline also doesn't name Dyshan Best. Doesn't mention he was Black. Doesn't mention Perrotta was white. Doesn't mention she declined treatment. A man is dead. The headline made sure you'd remember the officer's feelings instead. Nothing in this sequence required a conspiracy. Every step reflects a system that has operated this way for generations — one built not to protect communities equally, but to protect order, property, and existing arrangements of power. People ask how to fix policing. But this story raises a different question. If a dying Black man can be left bleeding on pavement while officers secure a comfortable exit for one of their own, and the state clears it, and the press softens it, perhaps this isn't a malfunction. Perhaps the system is functioning exactly as it was built to. His name was Dyshan Best. He came home to bury a friend. He never made it back from the funeral.

You people are racist trash

@chiproytx If they’re not citizens, they probably aren’t on the voter rules in the first place… Meaning people who get kicked off ARE in fact citizens, you ignorant turnip

Well that would mean… they aren’t citizens

@sasha_banichek @TheNerdyCatLady I believe those are meant as supplemental, not actual meals

@TheNerdyCatLady Delectables in the packets are what my spoiled kitties love.

I've talked to several people and my ex who also feeds several cats, everyone is saying Fancy Feast is off and the cats won't eat it ... I'm talking about regular Fancy Feast pate & cuts in gravy. My cats have also been having vomiting/diarrhea, so I'm putting 2 + 2 together.

They’re denying him legal counsel which is, you guessed it, illegal. This governments favorite thing to do is break the law. There is zero justification for Brian McGinnis being denied access to his attorneys. They’re just trying to punish him even more when the man already has a BROKEN arm from the police who attacked him. How do republicans defend this?
