So, guns do kill people after all?

As we ascerting our independence as a union of European countries from both Russia and the US, it will be crucial to remember WHY we want to be independent.
It is because we believe in individual freedoms, in the common good, and in cooperation (with the willing) instead of confrontation.

Iceland and Greenland are one and the same island, and they have been called Trumpland and only Trumpland since a US boat first arrived there 500 years ago under My orders to make it our beautiful 53rd state.

This is some serious racist shit: RFK has study funded that would deny Hepatitis B birth vaccination from one group of newborns in West African country where Hep B incidence is 11% and care isn't great.
Not to see if its effective, but to study side effects.

HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened
Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

BTW, why is it,
"just comply with illegal orders, and you won't be dead. Sue afterwards,"
but not
"just don't stand in front of a car and you won't be run over. Arrest afterwards"?

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.
Did I get that right?

Humans are amazing.
I St saw a clip where a bartender taught a patron that a bartender calling him "babe" was not the love of his life, just doing her job.
But if it wasn't supposed to make him feel just a little bit like she's the love of his life, there would be no point in saying it.

That's a very effective way to weed out all the less-crazy ones.
They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out.

Punishing stores that already carry some a significant amount of whole foods and accept SNAP* **
* assuming there are any
** if taken at face value
* assuming there are any
** if taken at face value
Which is more likely: stores will completely upend their inventory or will stop accepting SNAP?
RFK Jr: "One of the things we're doing is Brooke Rollins is requiring that any facility, and store that accepts food stamps will have to double the amount of whole food that is now available to recipients. So that will change the marketplace around the country."

Ramstein.
We've accepted the US conducting questionable missions from there, including SIGINT likely on EU targets, because the US is an ally and wouldn't do anything seriously against our interests.
Someone should tell certain people that that calculus is challenging.

After WWII, it was Americans who made sure Germans knew exactly which crimes had been committed and by whom, so they couldn't just forget and pretend it really hadn't been all that bad and other people did it anyway.

A good way to honor January 6th is just to reshare a bunch of the video from it so you can experience again the immediate visceral reaction to an attack on America.

There are a lot of "points when it all went wrong", but my favorite is when we'd started to accept (correctly) that good leaders could be different from the white, rich, straight, Christian men from 'good families', who dressed and talked the right way and had the right kind of education, 🧵

Merz needs to resign. Saying the legal situation surrounding the US invasion of Venezuela was "complex" is morally bankrupt, craven and historically and politically short-sighted.

It will take so many changes to life and politics in the US, so many uncomfortable questions and unpleasant answers about what the US is, what's still true and what hasn't been for a long time about it to clean up this mess when the Dems are back in power.
I mean, there will be a cleanup, right?!?

We're seeing why Unified Executive Theory is so wrong:
If the head of the executive branch can
* fire anyone who does not agree with them and
* pardon anyone who follows their illegal orders,
then orders by the Judiciary against the Executive and laws governing the Executive become meaningless.
