The Felon is collapsing the reporting and surveillance systems at the CDC, the systems that caught HIV AIDS when young men suddenly developed Karposi's Sarcoma. MMWR: the jewel in the crown of the CDC, the Felon removed it. Are health statistics and reports being Artificial Intelligenced?

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

I have been advising brilliant young aspiring scientists to go to Canada, Australia, Ireland, Germany for PhD work, anywhere but USA, which breaks my heart. When I arrived at UPenn in 1978 as a post-doc, my future looked limitless, and funded.

I walked through the Berlin Wall Memorial today, and then, because I wasn't miserable enough, I walked through the memorial to those murdered trying to escape East Berlin, and the memorial to genocided Roma and Sinti. Berlin is full of ghosts.

States can do that?!!! Let the nonsense stop, and stop letting AIPAC control Congress.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 1d

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?

Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

Interesting that media have to agree to be treated like.... Reminds me of the plot of The Sinners (really great movie btw) where zombies could only come inside to destroy you if you invited them.

You would love it Lois. It was raining today, hopefully I can video it tomorrow. I am in awe. I think if I lived in Berlin I would frequently hang out at the station.

Nobel Peace Prize used to be believed fair in recognizing excellence beyond the call of duty. Norwegian committee members have lost the plot. Venezuela has closed its embassy in Norway. The 2025 prize went to a bff of the Felon, an opposition leader whose main goal is to destabilize Venezuela.

Berlin Central Station looks like it would have been a set for Star Wars if the Star Wars designers had been more imaginative. Trains below, up two stories, up five stories; my gosh, Germans certainly know how to build a hauptbahnhof. I knew that.

Congratulating mass murderers. Disgusting. Denying the humanity of an ancient nation. I had hoped we were better than this now, although it has been a pattern. War does not lead to peace. Peace leads to peace.

Gaza was not on the ballot. USA has funded Nazisrael since 1947, every congress, every president. Eisenhower and Carter did not like this, and pulled back a little, but they kept on funding Nazisrael as well. Gaza was used as a wedge issue by Magats, along with abortion.

I read about the new Nobel Peace Laureate who looks like a war hawk and capitalist wanting to privatize Venezuela's oil. I think Norwegians had their brains frozen; their idea of peace looks very difference than mine. And now I see CodePink concluded the same thing.

Interesting phrasing here. Subsidies did not magically “become more generous.” The American Rescue Plan of 2021, which every Republican in Congress voted against, expanded these subsidies thanks to Congressional Democrats and President Biden, who signed it into law.

Since subsidies became more generous in 2021, overall enrollment has more than tripled in six red states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and West Virginia.

Oy. Someone good died at 79. BTW, so did a husband, a father-in-law, and my mother.
