Health is inextricably linked with politics. Democracy requires participation. End all aid to Netanyahu’s regime. Opinions my own.

Hey, Wormbrain! The written symbols we use to do math came from the Arabs! Remember “Arabic numerals”? If it weren’t for the Arabs giving us streamlined math symbols, we might still be trying to do maths with Roman numerals (!). Arabs were preserving learning when Europeans were in the Dark Ages.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

International students who stay after graduation (OPT) cause large increases in innovation, entrepreneurship, and productivity in the US. I talked with @insidehighered.com about the US Administration's new tax on those students—>

Polls point to last minute surge in support for Democratic candidates in Ohio, most of which appears to be a backlash against GOP campaign tactics. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/10...

While some Republicans have criticized Ramaswamy for siding with the people who allegedly raped Amy Acton *when she was a child* NOT ONE OF THEM has pulled their endorsement of him And of course the sexual abuser in chief and his equally vile VP think Vivek should keep showing the ad 10 days
The GOP rejection of the Ramaswamy ad - despite Trump and Vance's enthusiastic endorsements - doesn't indicate Republicans have regained moral sensibilities. It does indicate that Trump has lost a huge amount of political power.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

We need a federal constitutional amendment that gets rid of the president’s pardon powers. We also need the states to get rid of the governors’ pardon powers. These powers are part of what is corrupting democracy. Allow the head of an executive branch to order a re-trial. Not issue these:
A rogue President shouldn’t have pardon powers. No President should ever again.

Interesting that the guy accusing Ilhan Omar of using fake names frequently called radio stations in the ‘80s and ‘90s pretending to be “John Baron” or “John Miller” youtu.be/JsYKRUE_D5g?...
The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
Whether public transportation is a viable option depends on where you work and live. Even in a place like Chicago it may not be an option. I drove because it would have taken me 2 hours each way by public transportation, but by car only 25 minutes in the morning and 45-75 minutes in the afternoon.
Here’s a way to a faster commute: take the metra dumbass

Bank of America, Draftkings, Kroger and Johnson & Johnson are among the companies funding Vivek Ramaswamy's despicable ad attempting to exploit the family tragedy of his opponent, who was raped as a child.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Q: Amy Acton's mother has not cared for her in about 50 years after her step dad was indicted for raping her. Why should anymore listen to what the mother says? TRUMP: Well, I know nothing about it. All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton. I think you have to take that seriously.

NEW: Attorney General Todd Blanche did not rule out that the DOJ could try to prevent a state from certifying election results, adding to concerns that the administration could try to intervene. The federal government has no authority over the certification process. https://demdock.com/4i7RDQ0

Who's in charge of this country because it sure isn't us and it doesn't even appear to be the government anymore A bunch of paunchy moon-faced degenerate dead-eyed parasites forming a human centipede of investment in each others' vanity conglomerates, not a scintilla of civic virtue among them
So the same month that Elon Musk throttled Starlink to run his own military policy, he's also seeking more control over your flow of information. Musk and the Ellisons will control CNN and CBS for news; HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount & more for entertainment; Twitter (X) and TikTok for social media.

The decrease in awarded grants can be seen across nearly all the agency’s directorates, despite Congress prohibiting the NSF from cutting any directorate’s budget by more than 5% compared with fiscal 2024 in the latest spending bill. “There’s just way less out there for researchers."
