Top nutrition experts question the protein push, saying Americans already consume more protein than they need, and there's no new evidence that people need to drastically ramp up consumption. https://to.pbs.org/49xi92c
Donald Trump is dying, & he knows it. He is losing the midterms, & he knows it. Heβs getting impeached, & he knows it.
He is losing his mind, & we all know it.
Donald Trump is a man with nothing left to lose. Know that, & recognize the existential threat to the world it presents.
I'm going to open a food truck that sells chicken sandwiches and park it right beside Chick-fil-A.
We're only open on Sundays and we're calling it Side-Chick!
Israel is demolishing Lebanon
Starting to think the Iran stuff was actually purposefully a distraction for this because they know how brutally unpopular Gaza has been, Because the news is covered up in Iran but there is zero coverage of this. Itβs so fucking bad yall itβs Gaza 2.
Everything seems awful and chaotic and powerless, so I am left to do what I can only do: share some beauty with the world. I have no wise words or platitudes, but I do have a camera and empathy. A shot from my first global geomagnetic storm (2024) π

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesotaβ¦ they have not leftβ¦ but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new planβ¦.
Tatiani Elliot was brave today.
She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and gave her testimony in front of Washington state legislators. And they silenced her.
βNow that some of us are finally speaking, the rules are changing.β ~ Tatiani
βCan you please wrap up?β ~ Committee

UNICEF: 37 Palestinian children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the ceasefire.
Imagine if this was Israeli children - would we call it a ceasefire?
Trump posts over 60 times last night and somehow in the middle of it a staffer grabbed his phone and uploaded that racist Obama meme? Yeah, sure. Didnβt happen.
This is overt racism. Full stop. Thereβs no βmisinterpretationβ and no excuse. This is who he is, who heβs always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And thereβs a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβbecause the person felt she did didnβt deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
The GOP doesn't want a rule that ICE can't wear masks for fear of doxxing. If the agents weren't acting like absolute Gestapo thugs, it wouldn't be a problem.
Bribe for hire Pam Bondi continues to hide the Epstein Files to protect the orange felon thus violating federal law because sheβs also a criminal.
Innocent people wouldnβt hide the Epstein Files.
Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.
Fucking Brett Ratner. Of course Trump pressured the studio to use a credibly accused sexual harasser and abuser to direct the "documentary" about his third wife--she's the one he cheated on with a porn star in case you might have confused her with the one who accused him of rape. bit.ly/4kayHR6
Saying Kristi Noem is "attempting to mislead the public" is a bit of an understatement, dontcha think?
She called him a domestic terrorist who approached officers with a gun.
When he was a VA nurse who approached a woman pushed down by CBP to help her up.
Then he was tackled, beaten and murdered.
So, you can carry firearm across state lines to a protest and if you shoot two people Kash Patel will advise you to sue the media and the Biden Administration. If you are in your home state and never draw your gun, and get shot by ICE Kash Patel says its "illegal" to carry a gun to a protest. π
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maherβs detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Waelβs caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didnβt get to say goodbye.
So a bunch of Europeans Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, Poles, Germans, Slavs, Czechs, Dutch, French, move to the Middle East, claim the land as their own, guard the borders of the land stolen with violence, bigotry, labeling the indigenous peoples terrorists for resisting, and for just existing.

Trump Logic:
Denmark is such a poor, weak country, it can afford to give its citizens free healthcare and eduction
America is so wealthy and powerful, its citizens have to go bankrupt if they get sick or want their children to go to college.
Call to Action: This Friday, Minnesota is being called to stand together in real, visible solidarity. Labor unions, faith leaders, and community organizers are urging people across the state to plan ahead and take part in a Minnesota Economic Blackout do not work, do not attend school, and do not
They really do function as a terrorist group...everywhere!
They're crashing into cars, injuring people & destroying the cars they drive as well-that we have to pay to repair!
Enterprise rents vehicles to them, btw, so don't patronize them.

Imagine if this were your child.
Imagine your child lost BOTH parents!
This administration is destroying families. It's traumatizing millions!
What kind of person is okay with that?
Call your Senators & demand they redirect ICE funding.

Itβs time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.
