Turns out asking people to do war crimes eats away at their minds and souls.
After two years of war, Israeli experts warn of a “mental health tsunami”: 2 million people need support, but services are collapsing. PTSD, addiction, and depression are surging.
War doesn’t stop at the battlefield: it breaks entire societies from within.

“To tell the system when to power up, Mercedes engineers propose a living body detection device. This detects a person approaching the vehicle by measuring changes in the static electricity surrounding the car. A live person would have a static charge, a dead one would not.“

The entire right wing media apparatus is in a rabid frenzy saying every childcare is fraudulent and now people are showing up to random daycare centers demanding to see the children and screaming at daycare workers. This is absolutely insane and I worry this is going to end in a major tragedy.

(Hot Take TM) Providing mutual aid as part of campaign work is a good thing that candidates should do more.
🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.
This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The DOJ is so incompetent that it is allowing us to *quantify* its cover-up of the Epstein files.
The first time I searched Trump, there were over 900 records found.
I also confirmed there are now 332.
