I have spent the day following people back. In less than 24 hours, I’ve have nearly 1,000 followers. I assume I’m on lists. If I spend all my time vetting followers, I have no time to listen, learn, resist, organize, defend…If I don’t spend time vetting I fall behind and can’t catch up.

25 years ago today I stood on a blockade on the Adams Mine road. In defiance of potential mass arrests we held Thanksgiving dinner for 1,000 people.
I made the decision that weekend that I would dedicate my life to resistance and defending people.
Happy Thanksgiving

RFK Jr. just gutted America’s disease defense—firing over 1,000 CDC staff overnight. Outbreak tracking, data collection, and response teams—gone. This isn’t reform, it’s sabotage. The next pandemic won’t need to start abroad—it’ll start right here, thanks to him.

Things are bad, but let's all take a nice moment to remember that Cuomo is losing so badly he can't even win as a spoiler. He's DYING out there and he's too arrogant and vain to even know how to fix it. Gotta take the wins.

Sending strength to Joe Biden as he begins radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Few people have given more of themselves in service to this country. Wishing him comfort and healing surrounded by family and love.

I will not call these “detention facilities“ anymore. They’re concentration camps. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it’s likely a duck.

Crimes against humanity are being committed at these “detention facilities “ aka concentration camps. We need to continue to raise this issue. Share it with your friends and family. They need to know the truth!

ISW says Russia doesn’t need to wait for full rearmament to go after NATO. It’s already testing tactics to strike without air superiority or tanks.

Drone ops and sabotage in Europe are signs “Phase Zero” has started.
euromaidanpress.com/2025/10/12/n...

No tanks, no problem: Russia’s new combat model could bring war to NATO faster than expected, ISW says

Russia’s focus on rapid adaptation, drone warfare, and flexible manpower may allow it to strike far sooner than Western planners anticipate.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10d

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
