Friendly reminder that you don't have to hack and harass an innocent person who did nothing to you just because a Twitter propagandist grifter told you to.

Also, hacking is a crime.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The irony is staggering : Putin expressing disappointment that Trump did not receive The Nobel Peace Prize.
Donald J. Trump

Thank you to President Putin!
President Putin responds to President Trump not winning the Nobel
Peace Prize:
"This award lost credibility. The committee discussed the prize for people who have done nothing for the world."
"He solves complex problems, crises that last for decades."

Hours after Russia launched one of its most destructive terrorist attacks on Ukraine, Donald Trump publicly thanks Putin.

Many have noticed a pattern that on the days Russia attacks Ukraine the worse, Donald Trump goes on social media and thanks Putin. This has happened repeatdly.

Trump-aligned propagandists in D.C. pose for a picture, each push state messaging to millions, building support for arbitrary arrests and even assassinations of U.S. citizens, by branding “antifa,” short for anti-fascism, as terrorism.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

Uh oh, MAGA… Jack Ciattarelli blamed the unvaccinated for COVID’s resurgence:

“I think the medical professionals are perfectly accurate when they say that this epidemic is an epidemic of the unvaccinated.”

prescription drug commercials uphold ableism. MANY of them contain a line about how, “i won’t let my diagnosis stop me,” which is simply not how complex diagnoses or medications work (especially bc the 2nd half of the ad is just horrific side effects)

The CDC and ACIP quietly updated their recommendations and now specifically include pregnant individuals among those eligible for COVID vaccination.

Under the new policy, insurers are required to cover the vaccine for pregnant people without cost sharing. buff.ly/Id2vJbe

this is an absolutely insane news conference for the Attorney General of the United States to be participating in.

(note how Benny Johnson describes the Annunciation shooting as an act of political violence, which is a lie)

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Great piece from @brucearthur.bsky.social @thestar.com about the bird flu ostrich circus.

The economic and scientific issues concern me a lot, but for me, it all comes back to this: the US is where it is now because public health was politicized & exploited to undermine democracy & the rule of law.
“I mean, the economic security issues that it would create in terms of potentially s——canning our entire poultry export market would be devastating for Canada. But the real underlying issue is this anti-government belief that these public health orders are optional, and we don’t want government regulation.

“That is why they have so much attention, and why Rebel News and this entire far-right media ecosystem is involved ... is to weaken, basically, government sovereignty. And this is exactly the kind of thing that happened in the U.S.”

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.
