okay lol I just checked and I kid you not this is literally the cover of my own copy of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

Note: This was published in 2012, more than a decade ago. This was just the iconography the publisher felt best expressed Paine’s views.

Honestly if there are sniper holes in the foreheads of children, I don’t care if your own reasoning allows you to sidestep the G-word, there is no logical parsing that can justify these acts, there is no gentlemanly symmetrical warfare based on some colonial guideline, this is mass human hunting.

Imagine assigning 1000 people to this because you’re just sure it’s gonna be the smoking gun to vanquish your enemies, and then afterwards being like “nope nothing to report at all.” Imagine what you must have found to prompt that reaction.
Take as an example Dick Durbin's letter revealing that Bondi assigned ONE THOUSAND people to review Epstein files, working 24-hour shifts.

This is devastating whistleblower testimony. James Comer builds years long campaigns off less.

It’s really gross the right relies on and cheaply deploys the image of child sex trafficking for the emotional weight of their politics while simultaneously doing this.

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated.

The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I looked into this a bit more. It's worse than it first appeared. 1/

Trump’s Lie about Dead “White Farmers” Just Got Even More Grotesque
That photo he brandished to Cyril Ramaphosa was from the Democratic Republic of Congo—whose refugees the Trump administration is pointedly not welcoming to America.

this is legitimately evil
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

This has to end.

RFK Jr is using CDC treatment guidelines to launder quack measles “cures””—like vitamin A which caused liver toxicity in children in Texas recently—and continue to undermine vaccination.

Shut shit down.
RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims
Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

The entire first Trump presidency was like a giant Y2K problem, where concerted and consistent behind the scenes efforts prevented the worst of the catastrophe, so people figured it couldn’t have been that bad. Now people are shocked to see what happens without those safeguards

Reminder: if you predicted half the things happening now (threatening to take Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal; lawless mass firings; complete defiance of Congressional prerogatives; mass pardons of violent supporters) even a couple of years ago, Serious Thinkers would have dismissed you.
