“We have in the past been forced into reluctant change by weather, calamity, and plague. Now the pressure comes from our biologic success as a species. We have overcome all enemies but ourselves.” John Steinbeck, “Travels with Charley” (1962).

Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup. He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal. He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage. He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed

This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming to us today. Perpetrators were people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred and evil. This ideology became part of their everyday lives and environment. They were not monsters. They were people: fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters. They were farmers, doctors, bakers, bankers, architects, or carpenters. They had their family joys and problems, favorite desserts or songs, hobbies or fears. They were people like us. But they also perpetrated horrible, monstrous acts on behalf of the ideology they believed in. Dehumanizing all the „others” was a tool that helped them achieve their goal. The perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of this history. We should not and cannot dehumanize them, as their story and choices are the human warning. For us all.

RFK Jr. out here calling Gardasil “dangerous” and saying it increases cervical cancer risk…WTF. Gardasil can literally prevents cancer. Oh, and since we’re sharing information, let’s not forget the money you made tied to litigation against Merck over Gardasil. Because apparently that part doesn’t make the headline.

The man who infamously brags about grabbing women by the pussy, who condemned the Exonerated Five to death, who refused to rent apartments to Black people, was NEVER considered "Mr Nice Guy." He assaulted E. Jean Carroll and was credibly accused of doing so to dozens of other women. And Jeffrey Epstein's pal has never ONCE offered any kind words to the survivors of Epstein, and he has blocked Epstein's clients from being prosecuted. He's stiffed thousands of working people who worked for him out of the fees they were due. And a "nice guy" wouldn't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. "No more Mr. Nice Guy" my ass.

This is convicted pedophile Scott Ritter having a great time with Trump's Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And here is the convicted pedophile with Russian officers celebrating the first anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. RFK Jr is following the Russian disinformation script of trying to destroy trust in health science. Most Americans are unaware of this RFK Jr, pedophile, Russia link. Most Americans do not understand that his attacks on health science fit perfectly in Russia's hybrid war strategy. So please repost.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1/n For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality. As I point out: antivaccine is just a foot in the door, DHHS hopes to take down U.S. medical science to prop up wellness influencers & their pseudoscience alt universe washingtonpost.com/science/2026/0…

🔥🔥🔥There will soon come a time when there is no record of what really happened on January 6th, but for our cameras. They are systematically erasing history. The pardoning of the Proud Boys is one of the final steps to deny any wrongdoing happened. Be vigilant.

@EileenforCO It's the big sky.

Just reflecting on ten months of campaigning through this beautiful district!

@6ErikJohnson I love this for you.

364 days ago I was getting ready to play in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for Colorado against the Stars in Dallas. Today, I am between the benches as an analyst calling Game 1 of the Wild vs Stars in Dallas on ESPN. I did not have this on my bingo card. What a journey! #NHL #ESPN

He’s working hard to distract us. He thinks we’ll forget. He’s wrong. Keep talking about the #TrumpEpstein connection. Keep talking about the #TrumpEpstein connection. Keep talking about the #TrumpEpstein connection. Keep talking. #DemsUnited

RFKjr testified to Ways and Means Committee that the Hepatitis B vaccine was not studied against a placebo. This is not a true statement. the study nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… was a placebo controlled trial proving benefit and safety comparing placebo to vaccine. 📷

🚨 BREAKING: New York Democrat, Congressman Joe Morelle, says he will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse SCOTUS’ immunity decision to ensure that no president is above the law. “This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do—prioritize our democracy.” Do you support this?

Eye rolling at the FBI!

2.5 million pages have not been publicly revealed. 47,635 Epstein related files are offline and flagged for review. PASS IT ON! DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Paul Offit is the co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine. When he describes what is happening at the CDC under RFK Jr., he is not doing so from the sidelines. The Offit piece documents two suppressed studies. The first: CDC researchers found the RSV vaccine during pregnancy and an RSV antibody for newborns reduced hospitalizations in children 0-2 months old by more than 50 percent. RSV kills up to 300 children a year and hospitalizes up to 80,000. The standard CDC embargo and press kit never went out. No media outreach. The public didn't hear about it. The second is the one with the documented contradiction. CDC researchers found that between September and December 2025, healthy adults who received the COVID vaccine reduced urgent care visits by 50 percent and hospitalizations by 55 percent. RFK Jr.'s interim CDC director Jay Bhattacharya delayed publication, claiming the methodology was flawed. One week before that decision, the CDC published an influenza vaccine effectiveness study using the identical methodology. The same methodology had been used in COVID vaccine studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and The Lancet going back to 2021. Dr. Fiona Havers, a 13-year CDC veteran and former senior vaccine policy adviser, said it plainly: "This is definitely an escalation of this administration's undermining of CDC science. The fact that they are now blocking this is extremely concerning." The methodology was not the problem. The finding was the problem.

In 1960, a quiet woman at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was handed a routine file. It was for a drug already sold in nearly 50 countries—a sedative called thalidomide, widely marketed as safe for pregnant women. Most people would have signed off. Frances Oldham Kelsey didn’t. New to the FDA, she noticed something others had overlooked—or ignored. The data was thin. Reports of nerve damage were buried. The safety claims felt… too clean. While the pharmaceutical company pushed aggressively for approval, sending repeated requests and mounting pressure, Kelsey held her ground. She asked for more studies. Then more. And more. Behind the scenes, the pressure wasn’t subtle. Drug companies expected quick approvals. Delays meant lost profit. For a young female reviewer in a male-dominated system, saying “no” wasn’t just professional resistance—it was personal risk. She was challenging an industry that wasn’t used to being challenged, especially not by a woman. Then the truth surfaced. Across Europe, thousands of babies were being born with devastating deformities—missing limbs, malformed organs—traced back to thalidomide taken during pregnancy. It became one of the worst medical disasters of the 20th century. Because Kelsey refused to approve it, the United States was largely spared. Her skepticism saved countless lives. In 1962, she was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service by John F. Kennedy—one of the highest honors a civilian could receive. But her impact didn’t stop there. Her stand forced sweeping changes in drug regulation, leading to stricter testing requirements and proof of efficacy before approval. The system became safer because she refused to bend. She didn’t shout. She didn’t grandstand. She simply refused to compromise when it mattered most. And that’s what made her dangerous—in the best possible way. © Women In World History #archaeohistories

Outraged students and parents just kicked Erika Kirk OUT of a high school campus, after backlash erupted over bringing in far-right extremist politics in public classrooms on the taxpayers' dime. A Phoenix area high school just backed down from letting a cult run rampant in their school. Pinnacle High School canceled an on campus appearance by Turning Point USA leader Erika Kirk after a surge of complaints from students and parents who refused to accept a political stunt during school hours. Principal Jeremy Richards told families the event was being moved off campus and pushed until after the final bell, warning it could disrupt the school day and create serious issues. Students spoke clearly: - “I don’t know why she’s coming here, to be honest,” Francisco Sanchez, a senior at Pinnacle High School, told 12 News Phoenix before the event was moved. "It’s a little crazy because I would never have expected someone like her to show up at a high school. I think the topics that she talks about are too extremist for a school. I think there are better representatives we can have." Damn right. Parents raised concerns about division and security risks tied to her appearances. The event is now limited to a small club gathering with ZERO taxpayer funding or school endorsement. Sorry Erika - this is what happens when communities push back and refuse to let schools become propaganda platforms for right wing influence. Like and Share if you support grifting MAGA cult recruiters being kept OUT of our schools. EVERY school should follow their lead. Via~~U.S. Democratic Socialists

Again, we must direct questions and ire at the Republicans who confirmed these dangerously incompetent sycophants despite knowing what they were. The vote for Patel was 51-49. And they continue to abdicate their constitutional duty by serving as a rubber stamp for Trump.
