Covid killed more people in the US than all US battle and non-combat related deaths in all of the US wars put together.
People want to forget, but we should be memorializing these losses as well.

Peter Thiel – Pumped $1M+ into Trump’s 2016 campaign and some call JD Vance his protégé.
FUN FACT: He went to a school in South Africa, where they greeted each other with heil Hitler, and celebrated Adolf Hitler’s birthday.

A MUST-SEE‼️
The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election.
• Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The most impactful piece I’ve done (so far as I know) is this one for VICE, on how medical schools make students “practice” pelvic exams on unconscious patients without their knowledge or consent. www.vice.com/en/article/m...
Med Students Are Doing Vaginal Exams on Unconscious, Non-Consenting Patients
The practice is still legal in 42 states despite decades-long ethical concerns. In the #MeToo era, things are starting to change.
