Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Or consider making a donation to a veterans organization that helps with PTSD.

Please consider doing this. It doesn't have to be an either or thing, one could do both fireworks and donate.

Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

There’s a difference between “Democratic Socialism” (what @ZohranKMamdani is) and “socialism” (what Trump does)

The same people screaming today backed Trump’s tariffs, nationalizing companies, trying to dictate everything private corps/universities do. thedispatch.com/article/trum...

You know what would encourage people to get more physical activity? No, it is not wearable fitness trackers. It is:

1. A liveable wage so people have time for it

2. Safe parks and other infrastructure for such activity

But that’s too hard.

Just to recap:

-- Trump admin concedes they don't know if Iran's supply of uranium was destroyed
-- Some intel suggests that both the uranium and much of the equipment for developing weapons had already been moved from the targeted sites
-- The world is probably less safe than it was on Saturday

When Iranian terrorists inevitably strike us in retaliation, remember that the damage, injury, and death will be securely in the hands of Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and this Administration.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

What am I worried about?
-Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East
-cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration)
-Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs)
-Allied assistance (we’ll need that now)
-Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Some people hear there's “mercury” in thimerosal and worry. But not all mercury is the same.

Thimerosal has ethylmercury, cleared quickly.
The dangerous kind? Methylmercury, which builds up.

💉 Flu shot ≈ 25 mcg
🐟 Tuna can ≈ 30–50 mcg

One clears in days. One lingers. One’s in your sandwich.
2/5
Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative still used in some multi-dose flu vaccines.

It was falsely linked to autism in the 1990s—a myth thoroughly debunked.

This CDC page (*for now*) links to numerous, rigorous studies disproving the thimerosal/autism claim.
