Pigmented Pinocchio sees Greenland as Putin does Ukraine. Take one, and go from there, & if the world blinks, then we will have the USA and a reformed USSR partitioning the Arctic. Contact the PM.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

all my life I was told that America had the greatest system of government ever — but all I can see is one party high-fiving itself over the state-sponsored murder of its citizens, and the other party impotently writing strongly-worded letters about it. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

And for anyone who’s thinking “but they have 1M documents that lawyers need to review and redact,” that’s BS. Companies that do confidential document review with software and highly trained paralegals and could get through those documents in a week, including post-review quality control.

Say her name: Renee Nicole Good. Philly Sheriff Bilal calls #ICE "fake, wannabe law enforcement." Real cops don't hide their identities, shoot at moving cars, or provoke crimes. This was murder, not policing.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

If you are the parent of a newborn, ignore the new recommendations. Follow the 2024 vaccine recommendations or talk to your doctor. Vaccines save lives.
Doctors say the new vaccine recommendations and the terminology around them will stoke vaccine hesitancy even more, pose challenges for pediatricians and parents making it harder for kids to get vaccinated, and ultimately lead to more illness and death.

I'm reading this after waking up after 6 hours of sleep. I did not set an alarm. My body just decided it was time to wake up. 😭
Insufficient sleep was more closely tied to shorter life expectancy than diet, exercise, or loneliness. The takeaway is simple but powerful: getting seven to nine hours of sleep is one of the best things one can do for long-term health.
