Sigh. May as well jump on the bandwagon, but with my own spin. For every 'Like', I will post up a song and a reason why I think it slaps, as the young 'uns say.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Farage/Reform and the Trump playbook.

Mass sackings of unsympathetic civil servants
Promise to reduce workers's rights
Inflict spending cuts - hit the poor, old, sick, disabled

Now claims teachers are “poisoning our kids” - just as Nazis did to control education.

Power grab by dividing society.

I don’t know how medical professionals are going to be able to treat patients without the information they require from the CDC. The CDC is sometimes our only warning system about certain diseases.

In the report of Trump’s physical today, it states he received the flu and COVID vaccines.

Tonight there’s a Friday Night Massacre at CDC.

Because the President of the United States of America will ALWAYS protect himself but hopes most of us die.

Learning more about the philosophy of science makes me realise I am living in a very different version of reality to the one so many researchers have taken for granted.

For example, those who believed there was a structure to society, which could be discovered, similar to the laws of nature.

I know this isn’t so relevant here but I have to say it before I burst

POLITICS ISN’T LIKE FOOTBALL. YOU DON’T PICK A TEAM THEN FANATICALLY EXCUSE THEM WHEN THE GOALIE PUNCHES A POLICE HORSE AND THE STRIKER TAKES DIRTY MONEY FROM RUSSIA, SCREECHING ‘BUT THE OTHER SIDE TRIPPED SOMEONE UP, ONCE TOO’

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Hamas aren't freedom fighters, you fucking idiot.
Freedom fighters:
-Don't rape & murder innocent civilians.
-Don't kill protesters.
-Don't purposely start wars knowing it'll endanger the people they're responsible for governing.
Stop consuming propaganda & you won't sound like such a fucking moron.
