They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. (@taxgreed.bsky.social)
I will continue to maintain empathy for those in pain in this world. We live in a tragically cruel world that literally no one asked to exist in, yet we're here.
ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk.
Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"
"That theory has been debunked"
"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"
Not a dictator is planning a military parade in Washington, D.C., on June 14, 2025, coinciding with his 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The parade is expected to cover four miles from the Pentagon to the White House and could cost up to $100 million. #seriously

Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.
Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.
This is who Trump governs for.
A person drives drunk (on average) 80 times before getting a DUI.
How many classified attack plans have been compromised w/adversaries, vs. US journalists?
