Because you can't patent anything that exists in nature. IMO what Nature put here for us was meant to give us resources and to thrive. That's why they don't study the nature based medicines as much, because there is money to be made!

You can't blame them for wanting a better way. The reason we are where we are with "Big Pharma" is because they made a conscious choice and cartel with others who sought to shut out the entrenched healers and homeopaths. Lots of the drugs they got rich off are patterned after traditional medicines.

We should have a NO KINGS march every weekend. If we really want to win…and we do, we need new senate and house leaders. They are tanking our chances to save democracy.

This is an important distinction. It's just bullshit marketing. A rebranding of the same old shit so it looks like they are doing something.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If you are interested in understanding how what is happening now is merely an extension of what happened nearly five years ago, read this free book.

This fourth book in the NYT-bestselling Proof series is a 250-page exposé on the January 6 coup plot at the Pentagon, with hundreds of citations, photos and videos.

When you understand the profits are in the gulf countries not Israel & trump is on the Gulf’s dime, you understand why this time the ceasefire will hold. The Gulf brokered this deal. They let trump take the credit. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

‘First phase’ of ceasefire deal to end war in Gaza agreed by Israel and Hamas

Donald Trump announces that all hostages will be released ‘very soon’ and Israel will withdraw troops to an agreed upon line

Annals in sane-washing. When I checked NYT, WSJ, Politico, and WaPo for a story abt how Trump invited PizzaGate guy to the White House and declared an end to the First Amendment, this single story that mentioned it was on top of WaPo. Now it's buried.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A story headlined, Trump builds case for deploying National Guard to Chicago, Portland The president said he would pursue designating antifa a "foreign terrorist organization" and called for Democratic officials in Chicago to be jailed.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday looked to bolster his public case for deploying the National Guard to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, cities where he claims Democrat politicians have failed to protect journalists and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from people whom he sees as left-wing domestic terrorists.

Trump said during a televised meeting at the White House that he would pursue designating antifa as a “foreign terrorist organization” — a label that would allow for key financial and legal penalties because foreign entities are not protected by the First Amendment. Proponents of antifa — a political protest movement composed of unaffiliated groups — militantly oppose fascism, right-wing ideologies and are often anti-capitalist or anti-state.

Trump also repeated a call he had made earlier in the day for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, to be jailed, accusing them without evidence of “failing to protect” ICE officers who have been sent to the city.

His statements and other remarks given by top aides during a 2½-hour event laid out a legal and moral case for the administration’s push to send National Guard troops into U.S. cities. Designated foreign terrorist groups can face financial sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department. The Justice Department can prosecute supporters under enhanced charges of providing “material support” to a terrorist group.

If ANY other president had been caught DMing directives for the Attorney General to indict his political enemies it would have been game over.
Impeached. Removed.

But not Trump.
With Donald Trump, it’s just another fucking day ending in Y.
