You are not in the marketplace of ideas you are the target of a counterinsurgency campaign. Any information, regardless of how benign it may seem to you, will be used by state agents to suppress and potentially incarcerate you or others.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Buffalo have developed a nanoparticle-based vaccine candidate for H5N1 avian influenza (clade 2.3.4.4b) that achieved 100% PROTECTION in preclinical trials. The vaccine is under development for potential use in BOTH veterinary AND human medicine. 🧪🧵⬇️

There is no deep popular opposition to immigration, just a successful scapegoating campaign. Now revulsion at what anti-immigrant measures mean in practice, creates an opportunity to shift the conversation in favor of immigration. Excellent from @ryanlcooper.com. prospect.org/politics/202...

Newspapers are like:
'It's noon in the Saskatchewan Bagel & Shake when Madison Fouct catches my eye. Standing 5'11 in rollerblades, the heiress cuts a striking figure. Better known for her fiery social media output, Madison orders a glass of raw water.'
For Christ's sake get to the racism.

Just fyi it’s completely fucked that things like this can happen and that people around the world will die because of the choices of a few capitalists. This should not be how things work. We have enough to provide for all.
