The US was certain it could beat the Vietnamese into submission

The Montgomery Bus Boycott looked for a long while like it wouldn’t work

Napoleon had a better prepared army than Russia

This is THE most important lesson of studying history. Intentions are not the same as outcomes...

After Waterloo, European monarchies banned vaccines (!), tore out street lighting, welcomed back the Jesuits--all meant to end the era of revolution and republics.

That era was just beginning.

Those of us who cared for SARS Survivors and uniquely studied HCoVs know where this is headed. Persistent viral infections don't need to kill you to prevent you from living. Repeat inflammation causes neuroinflammation where the brain and immunity damage is permanent.

Kara Swisher is a cretinous, deceitful tech booster attempting to rewrite history, pretending that she didn't deliberately elevate tech executives like Elon Musk right up until the last minute. A truly grotesque figure

Just a foreign leader talking about killing US students on US soil
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett — who headlined an event at Columbia right before Mahmoud Khalil was detained — just joked at a Harvard event that he would give exploding pagers to students protesting his visit

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.

They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

Your door could be next.

it's like the way society treats abuse victims, which makes sense when we consider fascism is an abusive relationship at a larger scale
It’s just frustrating that the right wing never has to do shit, even when they lose. Never have to reach out, to welcome, to understand, to moderate their positions. They get to be who they are & never apologize for it and people will blame progressives for not putting up with that shit
Twitter isn't real you stupid motherfucker. The algo is rigged and the trolls are bots.

I am going to try to keep adding accounts here as I work through the Palestinian accounts here.

I am going to make this 🧵 to answer as many common questions about these accounts as well as other Gazan GoFundMes as I can so put a 📌 in it if you need a central location for these questions.
I’m going to make individual posts for the Palestinian accounts I’m boosting today so they don’t get lost in a thread but if you are looking for them all in one place I’ll link them here 🔽

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

Listen, this sucks. Threads isn’t ready, and neither is Bluesky, and that is a massive failure by more than one billionaire boi who - even if they legit only cared about money - would have hit Elon’s Failpocalypse with a surgical precision with the ready-release of either. We deserve better.

Two brutal stats from this new review on ME/CFS from the Mayo Clinic:

Half of those w/Long Covid are developing ME—but 90% of people w/ME remain undiagnosed.

Anyone can help reduce the staggering # slipping through the cracks by sharing this short paper w/your GP—free CME credit! Thanks y’all 💛
Concise clinical reviews are also a way to offer CME credit. Medical providers can take the free CME by reading the paper carefully and then answering the case-based questions that follow. #MedEd (3/) www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S002...
