One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever: 28 MILLION people in France aged 18-59.
mRNA-vaccinated individuals had substantially lower COVID-19 and all-cause mortality over about 4 years, and no sign of increased long-term mortality.
COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination and 4-Year All-Cause Mortality Among Adults in France
This cohort study uses the data from all adults aged 18 to 59 years living in France on November 1, 2021, to evaluate whether there is an association of receipt of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine with long-t...

a picture of Trump with the following statement - Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul—all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been—arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

Adults mocking a special-needs child from their MAGA trucks, is a parade of human failure, cruelty, and shameless cowardice. This is Trumps cult

This is heartbreaking. Trump called Governor Walz the R word & now MAGA nuts are driving by & yelling it at his special needs son!

This is unacceptable! How can anyone think this is okay?

The co-founder of Palantir.
The first part is Rebecca Solnit saying: Striking that while feminists are often called man-haters, this man equates masculinity with murder. Grisly public-spectacle murder (and, apparently, only of men). Public hangings were considered too brutish, and the last official public hanging in this country was of a Black man in Kentucky in 1936; the last one in the UK in 1867. Public executions are a feature of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four on the other hand. Palantir works with ICE, so it is involved in violence and I'd argue crime. The second part is Joe Lonsdale, The co-founder of Palantir. saying: If I’m in charge later, we won’t just have a three strikes law. We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others. Our society needs balance. It’s time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable.

Nothing illustrates the absurdity of power more than spending millions on battlefield toys for domestic theatrics
Split image: On the left, a woman with long brown hair speaks at a podium with an American flag in the background. On the right, a military-style armored vehicle is parked indoors. Overlaid text claims ICE is purchasing $7+ million worth of heavily armored vehicles, mocking the purchase as unnecessary and dubbing the woman 'Immigration Barbie.' Bright yellow text at the bottom urges viewers to react if they think it’s a wasteful purchase.

Erasing Black liberation to protect white supremacy and celebrate his EGO.
A social media post by Brian Tyler Cohen claims that Donald Trump removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks and replaced them with Trump’s birthday. Below the text are two images: on the left, Donald Trump signing papers at a desk; on the right, a black-and-white portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. resting his chin on his hand, looking contemplative.

RESPECT to Admiral Holsey
A pic of Admiral Alvin Hosley - with the following text, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called Admiral Alvin Holsey on the carpet to address the admiral's refusal to carry out fishing boat attacks in the Caribbean. Admiral Holsey expressed his concern for civilian casualties. Secretary Hegseth pushed back and reminded the admiral of his sworn duty. Admiral Holsey informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after forty years of service in the U.S. Navy. In response to the admiral's stance, Hegseth threatened to strip Holsey of his command. The meeting became heated and quickly adjourned. Less than fifteen minutes later Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth received Admiral Alvin Holsey's letter of resignation. In recent days, members of Congress have reached out to Admiral Holsey requesting him to testify on events surrounding his resignation. Admiral Holsey has receipts. Admiral Holsey has agreed to testify.
