Make shitty people ashamed again
Some people are drawing an inference that because I'm an EA I'm also a capitalist who believes large private companies should be able to purchase water from utilities, so I'm going to come right out and say that yes to all that.

The first thing to understand, is that the number of people killed by cops is not connected to the "crime rate," (however you define that).
Every decade since the 80s has had less violent crime than the decade before. And yet every decade the number of cop killings goes... up.

Obviously, I am not a fan of US imperialism in any form, but these people simply do not understand the concept of soft power.
The Interior Department has announced it will charge $100 per head for non-US residents to visit the most popular 11 national parks.
Stupid and self-defeating. Millions have visited those parks and left with with affection for America. No more, except those who can afford $400 per family per park.

The CDC has not addressed this and is largely pretending it isn’t happening. Meanwhile they’re taking steps to actively reduce vaccination rates.
Pertussis cases in Texas are 10x higher than all of 2023, and 2x as high as last year — 4x for the same period. The official count is higher by a 1k than it has been in more than a decade. Last time it was over 2k was 2014 with 2,576. It’s past 3,500 for 2025.

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Is it valid to try to spread anti-regime ideas to people living under a regime? Absolutely.
If you are invited by the regime, however, I can essentially guarantee you that's not what's going to happen. At least not in any way they care about. You will be used to further their genocide, not stop it.

Reminder that Medicare advantage is the shitty Medicare plan they lure you to which is slightly cheaper when healthy and leaves you fucked if you’re sick, and that by joining it seniors often give up their normal Medicare and can’t get back on.
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.
