“We can’t eliminate SARS.”
We can, and we did.
“Well poor countries can’t do it.”
Poor countries eliminate bad diseases all the time, with some outside help in the past. Yeah. Even airborne ones.
The only reason we have COVID-19 circulating is because rich countries said so.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Seven years on from when the then-schoolgirl Greta Thunberg first began her simple call for action on climate change, it's remarkable - and so telling - that she is *still* living rent free in the minds of some of the world's most privileged and powerful men

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

It’s just like what I read: Americans are so afraid of socialism that they’re pushing us towards fascism because they don’t know what either of those words mean.
