Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I cannot remember a moment in American history when our foreign policy shifted so dramatically & quickly.

Trump doesn't want to be the leader of the free world. He wants to join the autocratic world.

I hope the US Congress and the American people will prevent this switch.

Words alone cannot capture the depth of emotion in this testimony. A voice from the past, once fighting against extremism and fascism, now speaks with heartbreak as history threatens to repeat itself. Watch, listen, and reflect.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.
