🚨In December 2016, Epstein invited Bill Gates to his island and informed him that “new administration people” were visiting.

This was sent exactly one month before Trump was inaugurated for his first term.

Epstein-Barr is also linked to several types of cancer
If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.

This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

It’s not that they are shifting the production overseas. They are shutting it down completely. This means that only state run entities are going to be in the vaccine game. That’s China, Russia, and probably India. Will they come to our aid in times of need, or will they watch us shrivel and die?

There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Again, it's politics all the way down. We could seriously discuss tradeoffs about interest rates, inflation, taxes, etc. But we never do. We just panic about arbitrary debt/GDP ratios that are meaningless, pretend the government is a household, & keep replaying the hits about "unsustainable debt":

Stop listening to Hasan, stop listening to all of them. At some point it stops being about politics, and starts being about personalities.

“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

This is a victory. Of course, I'll wait for confirmation from people on the ground over the next few days rather than just taking Homan's word, but it's clear DHS' resolve is shattering.
After 10 weeks of terror and violence, DHS announced it’s ending the surge of ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Residents stood strong, protected each other, and the regime flinched.

But we know this isn’t over. Instead of relaxing, we're turning up the volume.

Jake and many others need to read a wee bit of history and understand that what we are seeing in the U.S. right now is *exactly* what early concentration camps looked like in many other regimes.

I do think that the fact that the stars of the online “left” are all definitionally self-employed small-business owners is underdiscussed

Having the same class interest as a realtor and hating Democrats is a less interesting combination than many think!
I think "Hasan doesn't want his taxes raised" is an underrated explanation for his behavior
hasan, who is not trans or queer, saying that Dems would shoot every trans person in the head to win elections, is just straight up ratfucking, indefensible

honestly to everyone who's like "no she should be in the senate first and then run in 2036" I have a lot of reasons I disagree with that idea but one of them is definitely "why do you think AOC with an extra decade of Senate Brain would be better than AOC now"

I think the case for aoc- and the reason why I’d probably support her over people with similar positions and experience- is that she’s an incredible communicator and controlling the narrative has never been more important to political success

They are in fact concentration camps in the original usage of camps for concentrating a civilian population for control or collective punishment or to facilitate deportation or population transfer.

They are not concentration camps as a euphemism for extermination camps.

It’s also so…nakedly fascist?

Like, guys, willpower doesn’t win wars, character doesn’t win wars, you don’t win because you’re tougher. You win because you have better factories, making better tanks, with better trained soldiers, fighting with better operational goals, and better strategic designs.
Literally every trope about how the current generations would struggle to cope with/ how flippant politicians would be about the demands of total war are basically countered by a basic reading of the events of the Phoney War
