Arrest them all! Destroy Antifa!

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 20h

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

An urgent warning from the last six surgeons general about RFK Jr’s threats to America.

It’s long past time for this hack to resign.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.

We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Beyond the 'LOL' of your response you're not measuring the same thing. Learning in developing and developed brains is different and dependent upon both brain subsfrate formation and neurogenesis. Intelligence on the other hand and cognitive performance relies on processes that age improves.

If you're over 40 the best years are ahead of you. New studies show that the brain's performance significantly improves with age and a sense of purpose adds many healthy years to our life. Check it out: davidamerland.com/research/the...

Modern life changed everything. We used to move because life demanded it — now we sit, scroll, and stress our way through the day. The result? A generation that’s tired, unfocused, and losing touch with the strength we once had.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

The stress we experience is always a subjective (semi-conscious) response to an external event. This means we can choose to react differently if we are aware of the way we react. And that is good for our long-term health.

Life used to keep us fit. We walked, lifted, built, moved — because survival demanded it. Now we sit, scroll, and stress… and wonder why we’re tired, anxious, and out of shape.
