When politics moves too far to one extreme, ppl inevitably get hurt and angry. The result is usually a lurch towards the other political extreme. The result is usually that ppl get hurt.

Surely it's not that difficult for both the left, the right (and everyone in-between) to agree on the following.
1. Torturing Gays to make them pretend to be straight
AND
2. Giving children drugs that stop them from entering puberty and may make them infertile for life
ARE BOTH HORIBBLE THINGS TO DO

Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

I don't know why were worried about Russia expanding the war. They're losing the one they are already in. Imagine what would happen to the Russian military if they opened up new fronts.

There are lots of warzones atm. & what is happening in places such as in Nigeria (ethnic cleansing of Christians with hundreds of thousands of deaths) doesnt seem to get anyone's attention. Also, if the environment is destroyed then we all die. She seems to have forgot abt 5he environment though.

Late to the party, but: Host-oxidized phospholipids (oxPLs) form during infection & epigenetically silence IL-10 via AKT→EZH2→H3K27me3, driving lethal inflammation. Blocking oxPLs boosts IL-10 + survival. Kudos, @lozanzi.bsky.social; out in @cp-immunity.bsky.social:

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Personally I don't agree with either. Both create victims based on dubious science.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Accurate. There is a war on science in the US.

Dennis O’Rear @djorear.bsky.social · 1d

RFK Jr’s attack on science has close parallels to Lysenko’s attack on genetic in Soviet Russia.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
