A lady shouted to Benjamin Franklin,
"Doctor, what have we got?" "A Republic or a Monarchy?"

The Founding Father replied, "A Republic if you can keep it."

The "First in history," as it was loudly declared, the Russian-Arab summit for Putin had to be canceled due to the refusal of Arab country leaders to attend the event, - Bloomberg

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

Are American citizens being disappeared? Yes.

Are American citizens who are veterans of the US Armed Forces being disappeared? Yes.

Without warrant or probable cause—solely based on skin color—Trump goons captured and caged a citizen veteran for days.

This is a fascist regime.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

If Covid was a hoax, why the fuck did Trump get the vaccine today?

And why go to Walter Reed to get it when he has a full medical staff at The White House?

The forever chemical PFNA is so hazardous that the EPA struck an agreement with 8 companies to phase it out nearly two decades ago.

Now an EPA report on its harms sits in limbo, and the Trump administration won’t say when it will be released.

Scientists Completed a Toxicity Report on This Forever Chemical. The EPA Hasn’t Released It.

Agency scientists found that PFNA could cause developmental, liver and reproductive harms. Their final report was ready in mid-April, according to an internal document reviewed by ProPublica, but the ...
