Good morning. Speaking truth to power is never free - it can cost reputation, comfort, even safety. But silence costs more: it corrodes integrity, enables harm, and leaves others alone in the dark. Thank you @karenattiah.bsky.social for showing why truth, though costly, is still worth it.

Really disappointed in CNN/BSNBC. I've not yet heard a single person talking about the Groypers or explaining to their audience who they are, or the violence they have called for. They should be easy for news networks to deal with. And yet, there's nothing.

Reminder: Tomorrow at 10am Eastern, the Senate will hear testimony from Dr. Monarez (former CDC director, recently fired by 🧠🪱) and Dr. Houry (recently resigned over 🧠🪱's destruction of gold standard CDC science) Catch the livestream at www.help.senate.gov/hearings/res...

Rumor says that RFKJ's NayCIP wants to delay the Hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine dose we give to newborns. What's the worst that could happen? 🤷‍♂️ Turns out that the earlier you get HepB, the more likely you are to deal with lifelong problems like cancer and permanent liver damage. Awful, right? 🧵👇

280 kids have died from the flu this season. Flu shots are safe, effective, and protect you and the most vulnerable 💚 Everyone 6 months+ should get vaccinated each year (rare exceptions: severe allergy)

"The U.S. government has spent tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars since the start of April on idled health workers." The Trump admin’s waste, fraud, and abuse are staggering--not just in dollars, but in the lost talent and expertise of the very scientists who keep America safe.

This admin wants to erase the horrors of slavery.

This is tomorrow! Dr. Monarez and @drdebhoury.bsky.social -- thank you in advance for speaking truth to power on behalf of on behalf of science, public health, and the American people.

These memes are from a propaganda videos where Nick Fuentes declares “war” on MAGA and Trump. The videos were published within the last month. MAGA is directing their hate towards the Democrats, but it’s not Democrats that are shooting at them. Charlie Kirk is also mentioned in the videos.

⚠️REMINDER: if 🧠🪱 and goons try to use VAERS data to “prove” anything... The HHS VAERS website clearly says VAERS data should not be used to prove a vaccine caused a health problem. vaers.hhs.gov/about.html VAERS is a starting point, not a proving point. More info in prior thread ⬇️

Yeah, and I guess we should also defund hospitals because some people heal on their own. No need for people to "go to college" and become doctors. Who needs them?

This man has been paid to watch Fox News, full-time, for about a decade.

Thank you for stepping in to help.

19 little kids killed in a school, GOP: Thoughts and Prayers. Charlie Kirk killed, GOP: WE WILL HUNT DOWN EVERYONE AND DESTROY THE WORLD TO AVENGE THIS MURDER!

China has 11x the engineering undergrads that the USA has and they basically have a never ending supply of them in the pipeline. When you have that many engineers... this is going to happen. Eventually, China will lead the world in nearly everything. Meanwhile, USA focused on religion.

Let's test this by measuring the time delay between the bullet's crack and the muzzle report, then multiplying that delay by the speed of sound to estimate distance. We'll use vid taken close to Kirk so mic placement is near the target. We get 338 ms, which is approx. 127 yards. Shooter was on roof.

The destroyed vessel or the people on it didn't pose an imminent threat to the Navy vessel or anyone on it, and they didn't pose an imminent threat to the general public. There was no bomb, there was nobody planning any such an attack. And it's outside of declared armed conflict. It's unlawful.

"I need you to hit the pace car... because you hit every other goddamn thing out there, I want you to be perfect!" - Harry Hogge (Days of Thunder) "Krash" Patel has hit everything but a truthful answer and the exit door. What a maroon!

Grandpa is having a moment in the backyard. Could someone get him back inside for a snack before his stories come on?

Mexico for the longest time was considered "third world." Now, it's "Developing World"; yet in some areas it's nicer and even more technologically advanced than some areas of the USA. They should take every advantage of Trump's dumb policies to close the gap and grow while we decline.

It's too bad we can't focus on infrastructure and real politics as opposed to culture wars and shootings. We really need to replace every coax cable in this country with fiber. Coax is outdated, its affected by electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference. We need to see the light!

Thin skin + thick wallet x repeated capitulations by established news organizations who chose to bend the knee instead of standing on their facts = angry toddler throwing more tantrums He's just going to keep breaking things until some grown-ups tell him no and mean it.

As the sun rises across the Lower 48, NOAA's GOES East 🛰️ is monitoring the central High Plains for a Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms today (September 16). A slow-moving coastal storm has also prompted Flood Watches and Coastal Flood Warnings for parts of the Mid-Atlantic. #GOES19 weather.gov

I think there is a fair chance that the shooter from Butler and the recent shooter in Utah are both followers of the "Groyper" movement. I wouldn't put money on it just yet, don't know if I ever will because we might not learn much more about Butler. But I think they likely ran in the same circles.

America is never going to understand what is happening if it's thinking in terms of "political parties". There are people to the right of MAGA. And they hate MAGA. Hell, there are people left of Bernie Sanders who hate Bernie Sanders. Not everything fits in a neat little box.

Mike Johnson just looks like a Hollywood Nazi.

I don't know what the UN thinks it's doing, but they're going about it the wrong way. "concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza." That statement has no legal bearing. Genocide isn't a crime that a nation commits. It's a crime that individuals commit. Charge individuals in a court of law.

We have anti-maga graffiti. Someone dispatch a Cuban US Senator for cleanup on aisle Mexico.

Why is God angry? He could have just saved the guy like he saved Trump, right? God only has himself to blame...

Be very careful about videos claiming to be "slow motion" (kirk) videos. When dealing with supersonic projectiles, you need cameras that film at a minimum 10,000 frames per second (fps). Most cameras, including phones are at best 60 fps. You're missing 9,940 images per second...

Look, Charlie Kirk was a CHRISTIAN! And as a follower of Jesus Christ he would want to turn the other cheek! Oh who am I kidding.

I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.

Went to visit a pal at his business and an employee was walking out of the building yelling he was going to sue everyone. He asked for a week off to go to AZ to the kirk funeral, was told no, then got mad, broke some windows and stormed out. He was only told no because they're short staffed.

Good morning ppl! Yesterday day Lowly’s human car announced the 5 ppl he’s picked to replace the experts on the vaccine approval board. I can sum up his choices with the following gif

Maybe a few months late, but I think Gov. Walz should take him up on it and ask him. Better late than never. I bet Trump wouldn't do it.

This is the fucking way you diminished follow the norms olds. Get the fuck out! Let the young’s fix this shit cause you can’t and it’s obvious!

🔍 Which one is our new COO who demanded we all return to the office and which one is a villain in a beloved fiction series? 🤔 (Don't worry, as much as we love our Harry Potter nostalgia, we aren't sending any money Joanne's way)

This is actually not true. The Human Rights Council did. It however is not the UN and it doesn't speak for the UN -- every article about this points that out. But of course people will do what people do and blur the lines. This would be like a Congressional subcommittee speaking for POTUS.

This really isn't a bad idea. If we really want to fuck China up... all we need to do is send Jesus.

In the early 80s, Ahmad Shah Massoud a 27 year old battlefield commander who earned his stripes fighting the Afghan communist regime in the 70s was facing a new enemy: the USSR. He had a small force, limited arms, and the Soviet Bear never defeated him.

24 yrs ago, I was on my way to Afghanistan (via Uzbekistan). I’d be 100% in favor of conquering it again if only we could split it in half and create a new safe country for Hazaras, Tajiks, Uzbeks… give southern half back to Talibs. So many people, no place to go.

I mean, it doesn’t read like someone steeped in meme culture at all. You’d expect something more like, "Sorry Queen, I’m perma-stuck in the Shadow Realm…"

On one hand, I'm like... the guy is a killer, he needs to be out of civil society. On the other hand, I'm like... I hope Trump injects himself into the case because it'll likely then be tossed or win an appeal.

To explain... when a supersonic object is moving through air, it produces a sound. This is the bullet's crack. It's moving faster than the speed of sound, the second sound heard is the muzzle report. You can take this distance in milliseconds and multiply it by the speed of sound to get distance.

I've never really been into movies and I'm pop culture stupid and as a kid I wasn't even into comics, but for some reason the Marvel MCU films are my thing. #10 on the list is the only film I've seen or care too. But I appreciate is work with the NRDC and advocating for public lands. RIP Legend.

I mean, it really doesn't sound like someone stepped into meme culture at all. You'd expect something more like, "Sorry queen, I’m perma-stuck in the Shadow Realm..."

Which line? The line drawn in the United States Constitution? No.

I think there is a fair chance that the shooter from Butler as the recent shooter in Utah are both followers of the "Groyper" movement. I wouldn't put money on it just yet, don't know if I ever will because we might not learn much more about Butler. But I think they likely ran in the same circles.

Frogs aren't so tough in science class.
