Another key thing typically lost in discussions is how much results like yours are a function of you being a skilled engineer and architect. This is not something just anyone can do, despite what the hype strongly suggests.

Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

This is extremely powerful anecdata in favor of the notion that the US health care consumer subsidizes medical advances for the rest of the world.
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

The year is 2015. China is getting richer and more powerful every year, but America has three trump cards: universitities, biomedical research, and immigration.

Why does anyone need to understand his world view? What do people need to learn about? Abandoning their families to become sinecured regime propagandists promoting Pentecostalist dictatorship in Magyar bath houses?

There is no serious legal scholarship that suggests that the Framers were thinking of the radical left Democrat Party when they wrote the First Amendment. The grand jury grievously erred by failing to indict Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, and their cohort.

New Polis just dropped
There's only one state in the country that voted for Kamala Harris, & voted for a Dem governor, and where a state agency has any sort of contract with ICE's infamous 287(g) program.

Massachusetts.

The MA Gov says she supports it (even days after Spanberger ended Youngkin's same agreement in VA).
Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts
As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

it's backwards. obama and biden conceded the republican framework of border obsession, sliding right and setting off a near-inevitable push to where we are today. once again the democrats triangulated themselves into becoming republicans, allowing republicans to publicly embrace explicit fascism.

I think it would be a good idea for people to begin making their peace with just how severe the consequences will have to be for those who participated in this administration. Because it will be shocking and there will be many in the chattering class who insist on letting bygones be bygones.
BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight.

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.
cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

Setting aside this moron standing in judgment over the intellect of “Douglas”, it is laughably untrue that “the Crown” was doing “slavery reformation” before April 19, 1775 - or that “the Crown” ever did more than grudgingly consent to something it could no longer stop.
Bluesky "leftist": "Frederick Douglass wasn't literate enough to read and understand the Constitution. I am very smart and woke."

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond
