Think it would do a lot to try to get ourself on right side of history as soon as possible, to the extent possible.

Shooting unarmed people in Caribbean endangers everyone. Unacceptably.

Can charge with state crimes but also litigate to vindicate rights state by state.

And… has to be a way I don’t just give away store and then feel ineffective and used and keep seeing things that people sure… well, doesn’t matter… except does … proprietary interests trumping all systematically.

I think I’m going to develop a weather app that allows people to report ice when they see it. As a weather app, there shouldn’t be any problems. 🤔

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

The "America First Global Health Strategy" is an oxymoron. Global health requires solidarity & int'l cooperation. Trump's actions have also created mayhem in global health. But the Strategy does identify better ways to conduct foreign aid

Shape up Kid Rock, your self expression and unique presentation is un-American. Your lack of specific manly grooming and Botox is an insult to god and the arbiter of all aesthetically as proper or not, Hegseth.

Freedom coded conformity is an important aspect of being safely oppressed.

No, having a problem with protecting pedophiles in government makes you antifa or Hamas and a danger to the U.S.

Apparently.

Or to whoever is controlling all those controllable politicians.

Oh.

Let’s go with autistic instead.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

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.

In case it wasn't immediately obvious who the next target is for US imperialism the Nobel 'Peace' Prize given to Venezuela's 'opposition leader' should help clue you in. As well as all the extrajudicial acts of piracy and murder in the Caribbean in the last few weeks.
