Welcome to the family! #AltGov

📢 #AltGov Announcement Joining us on #NoKingsDay we are proud to welcome @altniosh.bsky.social to Altgov! These exceptionally qualified scientists & stewards of public health have stepped up to keep the facts flowing. If you are unfamiliar with NIOSH, visit here before it's deleted by 🧠🐛.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day!!! 📷cr: Pete Souza

Head's up for today! 🧵

Protest. Stand up. Resist.

We wish that Adam Schiff would defend scientists by actually standing up to Trump, instead of merely recording an (admittedly nice) video about how he’s going to defend scientists.

Be careful out there.

Good morning! Some original altCDC poetry to mark the occasion.🚫👑 #NoKings

My opinion: Iran should tell the USA is not interested at this time in resuming the nuclear talks. Realistically, their nuke program was just set back 30 years anyway. And, they should refrain from attacking anything with a US Flag attached to it. That would be the end of the clerics.

I’ve seen videos of police officers in action tonight from like three EU countries plus Israel and something I noticed is that none of those cops had a waistline larger than maybe 32. And most of them were probably in their 30s as well.

2,000 missiles is all they have (and I suspected in earlier post). Attacking anything with an American Flag on it would be a stupid thing to do. Israel has a strong military. The USA is a nation ending demon! B2 Spirit+GBU-57… bye bye. I wouldn’t do it.

I don’t understand recording artists who make a big deal about their “dance moves”. The older I get, the more stupid it seems. If Angus Young’s best talent was his duck walk, I never would have bought his music. But at least he didn’t act like he had invented some amazing new “move”. Rant over.

So much knowledge and progress lost for no other reason than “I just don’t like it”.

It’s weird to me that Biden is continually blamed for “the lockdowns”, whatever the fuck that actually was. Can anyone, for 100 points, tell me who the President was during this time period?

Probably the best outcome to all of this is for the regime in Iran to be replaced by a Government that respected the rights of its citizens and got along with the West and the Gulf States. Then again, if there was no reason for war in Middle East it might be kind of a boring planet to live on.

There was a group of fighters early in Afghanistan that we were looking at from 1/4 mile. Contact on VHF, said surrender and they’d be given treatment per Conventions. They decided to shoot at us. We dropped a JDAM on them. Fight was over. They never had a chance. Iran needs to raise a white flag.

Iran has an estimated 2000 ballistic missiles, they fired about 150 today in three rounds (I think two made it to ground). If they continue at this rate, they’ll deplete their missile capabilities in less than 2-weeks. Faster if Israel destroys more missiles and/or launchers.

Friends, we feel shredded. We’re reeling from the uncertainty of being fired & rehired, struggling with the dismantling of ACIP — decades of trust gone in a tweet. It’s all so wrong. But we’re still here. Good night. We’re looking forward to our show of strength. Together. Tomorrow. Goodnight! 💚✊

#NoKingsDay is a huge, global event standing against tyranny & for liberty. But - we need a hype soundtrack! What's going on the playlist? Drop your link below & tell why it's going on the list. Let's twist the volume & get in the zone!

Subject matter experts (SMEs) and the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP): Why do SMEs matter? RFKJoker claims vaccine SMEs are corrupt because they're vaccine experts in bed with Big Pharma (most aren't) But the truth is, we need SMEs on ACIP And we need SMEs presenting to ACIP

Israel established an air base inside Iran pre-attack. That’s insane because the Iranian Air Force used to be the best air force in the Persian Gulf Region. Now, they’re the second best air force in Iran.

This is 100% correct. Criticize replicability of business-school psychology all you want. Work on rigor and reproducibility. But be clear that many sorts of science are strong and replicable, and the right has been using “reproducibility crisis” as a lever to attack all of us.

The SkillBridge program is a DoD initiative that allows active-duty service members to gain civilian work experience during their last 180 days of service. It connects service members with private & public sector org internships, apprenticeships, or other industry-sponsored work experiences. -- BUT

If ANYONE in the Pentagon had a fucking brain, they’d tell Trump that he’s just going to have to wait on his parade. To concentrate all those resources inside DC right now is just stupid. Regardless of anything happens or not. We need smarter people in Government!

Whiskey Pete got smoked!!

Me: I need (another) Variac, but I want a US made one. Not a Chinese one, but they’re so expensive! Spouse: Don’t bash Chinese. I’m high quality! Me: Yes, but you and a Chinese variac have about the same chances of burning the house down. Spouse: Okay, that’s fair.

I'll say this for Google... they're super fast. The base was only destroyed an hour ago!

🚨🚨🚨 I’ve recently learned that several federal law enforcement agencies are soliciting for volunteers from inside to be cross-trained in riot control and to also serve as protective officers for federal facilities. This isn’t new, per se. The federal government has done this before… 1/

So far, Iran basically promised a Mastiff and has sent a Pekingese. If they’re going to stop Israel, they’re going to have to actually send the Mastiff.

For New Yorkers getting ready to vote we have just one ask. Do not rank Cuomo! He is bad for the city and bad for public health. #nocuomo

The average citizen is bound by the law but not protected by it while the richest are protected by the law by not bound by it.

I used to like saying “Even a stopped clock…” but that was in the before times when I merely disagreed with a president. I will not do that anymore. I will not give credit to that man or his loyal subjects for ANYTHING good because they are fascists who are LITERALLY destroying the country.

Yes. What I should have asked is why we allowed it to go this far after we learned it was happening.

Hi, accounts posting unconfirmed rumors about election machines will be blocked. The theories are extremely implausible and unless you have proof or credible witnesses do not spread them, there is plenty to talk about with Trump tyranny, thanks

Russians on their way to help Iran… 🤣

It's #FedFriday and goodness, it feels like 70 years since Monday. Big thank you to this courageous #AltCitizen speaking out about the ACIP shenanigans that happened this week.

I had to listen to a 40-something y/o person complain about how their dad kicked them out of the house and now they’re on their own. Then was asked, “am I being irrational?” Me: Yes. I was barely out of high school when my dad died. His last lesson: you’re on your own kid, don’t fuck it up!

IAEA says the above ground portion of Natanz plant is destroyed. Electricity to underground facility is out and centrifuges likely damaged. There’s radiological contamination inside facility. Outside levels normal. That’s about IDF’s extent of capability. Iran would be wise to not drag US into it.

Nothing says “I’m an insecure wannabe dictator” like throwing yourself a big ol’ military parade for your birthday. Congrats on the tanks, you absolute buffoon, you orange Dollar Store Hitler. We hope it rains. www.life.com/history/adol...

The Houthis fired a missile at Israel. Israel determined the missile was on course to hit in the West Bank and opted to not intercept it. They really should have knocked it down.

Take 5m today to fights for your rights! Disability comes for all of us.

I think Iran would be smartest to raise a white flag and call Israel to the table immediately and then make good on whatever was demanded of them. They’re not built for this. They put all their cards into their proxy plan. Hezbollah isn’t there… there’s no attack from Lebanon. They should fold.

ENSO-neutral conditions are expected to continue through summer. While the odds of La Niña increase through the fall, the odds of neutral conditions continuing slightly outweigh those of La Niña. Find out what ENSO-neutral means for seasonal prediction? www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Historian Michael Beschloss recalled the 1950s, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president, and Soviet leader Khrushchev presided over large military parades showing off the latest in Soviet military might. 1/3

The out of focus pixel from this live shot (AP) is a plane flying near Tel Aviv, but there’s of course nothing pinging a transponder. I believe this is likely Israel’s strategic C3 plane (Command, Control and Comms) otherwise called a “Doomsday Plane”. It can deploy strategic weapons, if needed.

Here’s the problem w/ every LEO in the U.S. that feels this way: YOU’VE FORGOTTEN YOUR 1ST DUTY: Serving & protecting US. The PEOPLE. YOU’VE FORGOTTEN YOUR 2ND DUTY: Ensuring our rights are & remain intact. Why are you on such a fucking power trip? You’ve been headed this way for 30 years, WHY???

Israel has a Space Agency, and they’ve been launching indigenous reconnaissance satellites since the late 80s. This gives them an extreme upper hand against Iran. Every time Iran launches a missile, or even moves a missile launcher, Israel learns of its position. Iran’s air defense is already gone.

Lining up the rhetoric from law enforcement about June 14th (#NoKingsDay) against the insurrectionists' attack on our Capitol on Jan 6 says a lot.

Today at Boston Logan.

Protesting is a First Amendment right. It’s an important part of our constitutional freedoms. Any sheriff who doesn’t value the US Constitution can fuck right off to Moscow!

Israel’s strike in Iran appeared more calculated compared to its operations in Gaza, with primary targets being military—though some residential structures were reportedly damaged. In contrast, Iran’s response came across as more haphazard, involving missile launches with lack of clear targeting.

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧 If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc. If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

Do you have or are you going to submit a FoIA to the FDA and expect it to be answered in a timely manor? Welllllll you’re fucked. All FoIA from all centers is being detailed to office of commissioner effective SUNDAY, as part of the centralization plan. That takes congressional approval to do.

Ah, he’s so sweet. Little sugar poochums.

Lady down the street stopped by to let me know she saw my kids raising the flag this morning and it renewed her faith. I told her if watching my kids raise a flag renewed her faith, then her faith was pretty weak. She looked mad.

Fire up @resist.bot & tell your reps to remove Kristi Noem.

I guess forcing a young man out of the DNC is the plan to win back young men? Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats.

With tomorrow being #NoKingsDay, we have a unique opportunity to piss the other side off, to protect yourself and those around you. Wearing a mask at the marches and events does this. The bonus bonus affect is that it will also help mitigate the fall Covid boom! How the fuck about that?!?!

As some one that gets this same fucking shit. They have a lot they can do. They are being pussies and not doing it, any fucking thing beyond the “norms”.

As an OG #AltGov I can tell you that these bitches will fail. We were here first and won last time. We will win again!

“We want to highlight the stories of Black prisoners that participated in this prison research in the 1950s onward and give them their due…they haven’t been properly acknowledged” That’s good, but also worth noting that the Nazis approvingly referenced this research at the Nuremberg Trials.

“We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and burdensome leadership that this Governor Newsom and this mayor placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city,'' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. "We were here first." #AltGov
