I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Patient O It wasn’t Patient 0 (zero) that originated with epidemiologic investigation of AIDS. It was Patient O—Oscar, with the O indicating “Out-of-California” and then the O was mistakenly carried forward as 0—Zero.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Not hanging my head in shame nor should anyone who understood the enormous threat Trump was during his 1st administration&knew the 2nd would be worse. We voted, we protested, we still protest&we will vote. No shame. You, however, are free to feel shame b/c you lack understanding of any&all history.

Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."

Despite historical evidence&scientific evidence (To be fair (not): Hegseth doesn’t believe in history or science): Hegseth eliminated influenza vaccination mandates for the military&guess what happened? It’s not even flu season. Predictable&stupid—like so much our current administration has done.

Why vaccination matters for military recruits: living in close quarters quickly spreads disease, mass outbreaks of any serious vaccine preventable disease affects readiness, influenza kills young people. In 1918, 340,000 soldiers were hospitalized for influenza, causing over 100,000 troop deaths.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

But fluoride, which we add to water in minute quantities, based on our knowledge of how it has prevented cavities in folks who already had it naturally present in their water, is dangerous?! Fluoride has been in water since the dawn of time (thank you, mother nature). Forever chemicals are man-made.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.
